Smearing shit on the walls before Mamdani comes to clean house of these corporate anti-worker puppets

"NYC Mayor Eric Adams vetoes bill guaranteeing workers to staff grocery stores"

Hope they enjoy the fruits of their labor, and the flies, and mold, and boxes everywhere...

welp, guess I'll go work somewhere else for $1 more

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 41 points 1 month ago (1 children)

His excuse is that it would raise the price of groceries to those who have them delivered. I'm sorry but if you can afford to have your fucking groceries delivered in this economy then you're not hurting financially and can afford to pay the delivery guy a little bit more money to be your fucking gopher.

One more example that our "labor" party is anti-labor and pro-business; awful pay and the worst benefits of the first world, even eastern Europe has more benefits.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 30 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's more that Mayor Eric Adams is a Trump-compromised piece of horseshit.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

His little stunts during Luigi's capture was pretty obvious.

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I remember when Eric Adam’s cosplayed during that “prep walk”.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago

hiding behind luigi, to curry favors from trump.

[–] kn0wmad1c@programming.dev 34 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Why did people vote this guy in again? It can't be because he ran on a campaign of hatred of his citizens

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 29 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The Democrats wanted to push a right wing cop so they could act like they are 'tough on crime"or some bullshit.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Tough on crime is stupid since 9/10 the crime isnt something that should be tough on, even cases with clear cut good and bad still need tenderness and empathy at least for the victim. I'm a stoic asshole at least externally and even I know you need to show empathy and affection. Though don't show it to me if I'm freaking out, I'll think you are trying to manipulate me and I will throw something heavy at you which for relative perspective the heaviest thing I've thrown was 200 pounds okay it was more dropping with style but my point stands.

Strong support from black churches in NYC. You know how the religious fall in line when the church tells them to do something?

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

NYC has alot of rich people in, they want a status qou, so often times you here an R gets into be mayor of NYC. THATS HOW nyc had RUDY guiluiani.

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 27 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Adams is trash. No one I know (here in NYC) voted for him or even likes him, but I hang out in pretty left wing circles.

[–] derin@lemmy.beru.co 16 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I voted for him, and regret it so much. I was a true dingus. I'm on the Mamdani bandwagon, now.

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Can you share what lead you to support Adams, and what changed your mind?

[–] derin@lemmy.beru.co 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Was new to the city, had a bunch of liberal friends who lived in Harlem that supported him and waxed poetic about his potential. The ex-cop thing was seen as a boon, at that point.

Things started going down hill real fast in my eyes when the whole Turkish airlines scandal broke.

In retrospect I should have listened to my other liberal friends who warned me against him. There's a lot of regret, on my part.

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 3 points 1 month ago

Well, there's no going back and changing the past, so the best you can do is learn. Glad you've come around!

[–] iconic_admin@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago (2 children)

This is why Mamdani I is going to win.

God I hope so

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

It's going to be iffy because both Adams and Cuomo are attempting to spoil the race.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Please everyone keep voting for people you know don't care about you at all.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

i don't think that applies when Mamdani wiped the floor with cuomo in the primary.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

It is amazing to see that he supports Mamdanis campaign like that.

[–] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 13 points 1 month ago

We can't have these poor people making money. /s

[–] answersplease77@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (3 children)

this guy is like superman but in reverse

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You mean he flies butt-first by sucking air in his anus?

[–] answersplease77@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

someone should animate eric adams flying like that just in time to prevent minimum-pay workers from recieving minimun-wage gurantees by the their multi-billion greedy, and human-exploitating evil companies

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Anything remotely close to what I envision, like a flying Goatse-man flying gape-first, gets rejected by the generators I've tried.

Bizzaro was trying to help people though, even in the continuity where he was an unstable clone he was still a good guy. If memory serves in the old DCAU continuity he was put on what amounted to a death world where nothing could hurt him and he loved it, he thought the planets murder animals were cute dogs.

Do not slander my man bizzaro.

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

For sure. Maybe Homelander or Ultraman is a better reverse Superman then.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Thanks Democrats!
