I want a Zohran Mamdani for my city ;-;

[-] fox2263@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

THIS IS RACISM AND SEGREGATION. TWO TIER FARES

and other attempts at framing it as bad

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 day ago

He has such an electable face. I wish I could vote for him

[-] jamesrandysghost@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 day ago

He smiles with his whole face, it's like the polar opposite of the ghouls who's smile never touches their eyes.

I know that kind of thing can be faked, but Mamdani just seems so fucking happy that he actually gets to help people.

I fear for him.

[-] mrodri89@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 day ago

Why can't any city I live in have a Mamdani. I cry everyday knowing he's not my mayor.

[-] jamesrandysghost@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 day ago

Be the Mamdani you want up see in the world!

Jokes aside, I'm with you my dude, I just want people who aren't psychopaths running things, it shouldn't be that hard and New York has proven that you can have not just a mediocre leader, but an actual good one...

Watch this cut fare jumpers better than any 12ft barrier

[-] OddMinus1@sh.itjust.works 68 points 2 days ago

Mamdani is inviting the homeless to stay on the subway for a reduced cost while normal people pay the price.

[-] Leather@lemmy.world 63 points 2 days ago

I think people are missing your solid Fox News headline.

[-] teslekova@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 days ago

Ooo, now you're working for Sky News. This is the take the magas will use.

NYC mayor ignites division, creating 2-tier payment system for public services

I hate you and love you all at once. /s?

[-] BloodMuffin@lemmy.ca 30 points 2 days ago

i should have been a propagandist I guess

[-] arrow74@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 days ago

It's not too late to be a satirest. Practically the same skillset

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Satire dies when reality becomes this crazy.

I honestly don't know how the onion is still in business when you have to try this hard to come up with something that actually feels satirical instead of just another normal headline in a sea of the unimaginable

[-] mastod0n@lemmy.world 109 points 2 days ago

"Antifa Mamdani spends New Yorkers' tax payer money to transport illegal and homeless people to work at abortion clinics"

sounds awesome

I don't even think the talking heads have to do much editorializing before printing this one, much like they didn't do anything but post the word-for-word DSA platform in that viral photo of their anchor pointing at it incredulously.

Their target audience already see this is as a clearly bad decision in that it benefits many poor(er) people at the expense of some rich(er) people; that's political suicide for the American Right in 2026.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

its the same in the west coast. low income, older people get thier monthly fees half off(must show ID and income plus your pic is going to be on the bus card). but fees for in-city and ouer city transport as risen though for non low income people.

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 94 points 2 days ago

Democrat/Muslim mayor of NYC claims to cut spending for transit, but is it really helping everyone?

[-] Syndication@lemmy.today 44 points 2 days ago

You are now an editor at the New York Post. When can you start your position?

[-] red_tomato@lemmy.world 28 points 2 days ago

This is bad news for the already struggling millionaires in New York.

Subway Revenue Down 50% Since Mamdani Took Office

Edit; Formatting is hard, and I'm giving up on the joke. Fox would never admit to such truths even in a subscript at the bottom of an article.

[-] JayDee@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

^*actual^ ^revenue^ ^increased^ ^due^ ^to^ ^increased^ ^ridership^ ^and^ ^simple^ ^anti-corruption^ ^efforts^ ^in^ ^contracting.^

Was this the aim? Just do ^this^ for every word.

"When will Muslim mayor think of the hard working rich?"

OR

"Mamdani declares war on on capitalism!"

Underground Apartheid!

"NY subway set to lose billions of tax dollars ~overthreehundredyears~, Elon proposes new loop!"

[-] vala@lemmy.dbzer0.com 30 points 2 days ago

This is bad for some reason

[-] lobut@lemmy.ca 20 points 2 days ago

It obviously incentivizes you to be poor because you get all these benefits! /s

Wait, people think this is a bad thing? Guess I'm too Canadian to understand the reasoning.

[-] orenj@leminal.space 27 points 2 days ago

You're not supposed to help the poors, they're supposed to wrack themselves in debt buying and maintaining a car instead

[-] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago

The reason why its bad is those awful poors might show the rest of us how if you help people they prosper.

"Muslim Mayor defunds public transit"

[-] DupaCycki@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

Clearly he's antagonizing hard workers by supporting lazy parasites that do nothing but take social support money and spend it on alcohol. This is how America dies. /s

[-] UpAndAtThem@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Socialism! Communism! ReeeEEEeeeEe!!!!! Wait, now the kids like socialism and communism? How did that happen?!?!??
