R/conservative is really funny right now. They're clawing their own eyes out over literal NYC just because it's Daddy's favorite place

[-] shittydwarf@sh.itjust.works 103 points 3 months ago

NYC hates trump, which makes it funnier

Psyched for Mamdani and NYC but it's hard to believe how many people voted for a sexual harassmer who is also openly corrupt

[-] Jhex@lemmy.world 30 points 3 months ago

Is it "hard to believe" when the Americans voted twice to elect a full on rapist for President?... with the added qualifications of convicted felon, fraudster and 99.99% likely a pedophile?

I think it's time to accept Americans could not care less about sexual assault, women or kids rights.

Yes, that is a generalization with a nasty connotation but that is what Americans have shown to be

It's quite fascinating that, on the one hand they think everything he tries will fail and he won't achieve any of the things he promised, and at the same time they also think his policies will destroy New York City and all the business will leave.

They can stay in the Mississippian trailer park. Leave the rest of the country alone.

[-] PugJesus@piefed.social 35 points 3 months ago

Reverse secession - can we force them to secede? I'm really tired of all progress in this fucking country being attacked by idiots.

[-] Gutek8134@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

Exile?

[-] rayyy@piefed.social 50 points 3 months ago

Republicans are scared shitless that people will get another taste of socialism like they did with the wildly popular FDR..

[-] Lexam@lemmy.world 42 points 3 months ago

The race was rigged! The people of Kentucky will not let this stand!

I hope what we take most from this is that 2026, 2028 is NOT "too early" or "too high stakes" for an ACTUAL progressive campaign. The DNC has used that argument 3x with Trump and lost said elections twice (only winning 2020 because Trump bombed w/ Covid-19). I'm certain we'll hear it again in the next two national elections.

Having a competent populist leftist politician is not a detraction. Quite the opposite. NO to Gruesome Newsom

[-] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 25 points 3 months ago

If AoC wins the primary I'll vote for her.

If Newsom wins the primary I'll vote for him.

I'll be donating to AoC's campaign though.

"NEW YORK WILL BE DESTROYED JUST LIKE PORTLAND!!!!!!!!!!"

Logs into all the public webcams in Portland and sees that everything is fine and, oh my, what a beautiful city.

Buys a plane ticket to Portland just in case the webcams were fake news. Oh yes, oh my, what a beautiful city.

Sadly, they aren't all old. The alt-right recruitment drive that's been running for the last decade or so has borne a lot of fruit.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 26 points 3 months ago

Yup.

Starting to think GenZ/Alpha aren't going to save us. Not the men anyway. They're buying into that dogshit hook, line, and sinker.

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 23 points 3 months ago

Millennials are the last generation to not be raised by an algorithm, and also seemingly the only generation that doesn't get more conservative as they age, so I guess it's up to us to save the planet.

Unfortunately, it's not just old or white people. Just look at the young GOP Nazi club or all the latinos that voted for Trump

You should see the racists from my shit hole county. In northeast Pennsylvania. Legit going out of their minds. And saying shit like their 20k a year income could ever afford them a life in NYC. Like sit down Tony. No one cares what you and your 41bmi has to say. Maybe take care of your health before you open your mouth.

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago

Enjoy it while it lasts.

Having lived through 2008 and 'Hope and Change', I don't expect much out of Mamdani. I'd love to be wrong about that.

[-] whosepoopisonmybuttocks@sh.itjust.works 48 points 3 months ago

Here's hoping a democratic socialist turns out to be more progressive than your standard "not actually liberal" democrat.

[-] pilferjinx@piefed.social 24 points 3 months ago

I'm hoping a democratic socialist outperforms a corporate Democrat. He's going to face a lot of push back so it's going to be a struggle.

[-] chunes@lemmy.world 22 points 3 months ago

I think it won't be for lack of trying. He will be stymied at every turn by the city council, oligarchs, feds, etc.

[-] hanrahan@piefed.social 16 points 3 months ago

I don't think he can bring hope and change, overcoming the status quo is decades of work at muitiple levels of government supported continuously by voters.

Cumo could make it worse though.

They all said they'd leave if he won. I'm waiting for them to do just that.

"I feel a disturbance in the billions"

[-] Little8Lost@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

Whats happening?

[-] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 53 points 3 months ago

Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Socialist candidate for mayor of New York City, won his race with more than 50% of the vote, even though every prominent right-wing personality including Trump and Musk endorsed his challenger, and millionaires and billionaires throughout the city and the country dumped truckloads of money on Cuomo's head.

[-] Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 26 points 3 months ago

Don't forget he's the first Muslim mayor of New York, a city with more Jews than anywhere outside Tel Aviv!

[-] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

Oh yeah. There's tons of stuff about him that's novel and impressive and will make MAGAs big mad.

[-] snooggums@piefed.world 15 points 3 months ago

The old guard Dem national leadership also refused to support Mamdani when he won the primary over Cuomo the sex pest. Fucking Schumer refused to endorse Mamdani.

[-] SailorFuzz@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

Schumer (like so many DNC fossils) is bought by AIPAC. Isreal doesnt want US politicians that are critical of them.

But, perhaps simpler than that, I think Schumer would hate on Mamdani for free. I think Schumer is (even without money) a staunch Zionist, Islamophobe. Hes definitely anti-progressive and a firm corpo capitalist democrat. All his talk about strength and diversity is just lip service.
