Someone should run for the governor of NY on a platform of offering Mangione a full pardon.

They would win in a landslide.

He should run then call the trial a political which hunt

Mamdani won already, but Mamdani needs to also just pardon Luigi as a gesture of fuck you to private insurance.

He's a mayor. Mayors can't do that.

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Then I stand corrected. But if and when (and I am really hoping here) Luigi goes free I want Mamdani to at least shake his hand.

yeah because we don't have enough islamophobia

I think we should make owning the conservative fascists a point. They have always been accusing anyone opposed to them of doing this shit even if we didn't. Why not give them a well earned fuck you?

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

there are people who can afford to do it and people who cannot. minorities know this very well. mamdani represents multiple minorities whether he wants to or not. he cannot do this.

That isn't how government works.

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If government 'worked' then nothing Trump has done would have been done. It turns out you can just do stuff.

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

That's not how this works. A mayor can't pardon someone for state crimes.

What makes you think a mayor can pardon state level charges?

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nothing in particular. Note that I am not the person you replied to originally. I found that your message did not offer an alternative after shutting off the presumption (that Mamdani had that kind of power), so I am encouraging you to suggest one

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

There's providing importance context, and then there's wasting the reader's time. Informing people that a mayor is not a governor is the latter.

Mamdani won the mayoral election. Kathy Hochul is the governor.
