This was starting to sound like the next rendition of "we didn't start the fire"
As the Fall Out Boy version of it says...
We didn't start the fire
It was always burning since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No, we didn't light it but we're trying to fight it
I totally thought those were the lyrics in the original until now
Nope! They're different on purpose, symbolizing that Fall Out Boy still has hope for the future. My GOATs.
You could probably do a 21st century cover. Enough random crap has happened over the last 25 years that there's probably more than enough content.
Fall Out Boy already did it back in 2023! And yes, it's awesome. And they alter a bit of the lyrics of the chorus to give it a more hopeful tone!
I like how California has a proposition thing and Texas politicians just do it. Just kidding, I don't like that.
I like that it make republicans seem less legitimate, they do dictator shit while California has to ask for permission, making California's response look much more legitimate.
Don't forget California's response has a built in timer.
Now all you need is to get rid of the moldy orange
More than that but its a start. Getting kamala not as president, ridding of the tech bro billionairs aso
Fuck trump, fuck maga and fuck the oligarchs that support them.
I agree, which is why we should be happy tonight because theyre going to be pissed in the morning
And fuck all the establishment Democrats who actively worked against Mamdani!
Damn, this is a stylish as hell post. This is the first post I've seen on my Lemmy feed about Mamdani's victory, and I love that. This is like a more joyful version of when diligent Wikipedians edit a repugnant person's article to use "was" promptly after their death
Hell yeah!! Having a drink to celebrate from Ontario, Canada. Hopefully he can inspire other politicians and show that the true left exists and can win elections
... also push back against the communist / socialist trope that they steal from everyone.
Whoa. He got, not a plurality, but a majority.
Against basically all the money in the US, he got more than half of voters to agree on something.
That's telling.
Mamdani is elected mayor, and Dick Cheney fucking croaks. Today is excellent.
Sipping cognac in Tennessee tonight yall. A big fuck you to the MAGAts out there from the bottom of my asshole
Thank you, NYC. We all needed this.
I raise my caipirinha glass to New Yorkers all the way from Brazil! Keep spitting in the fascists' faces!
Saúde!
I had a caipirinha once back in 2011. I think about it fondly.
This has been a fantastic day
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The one good thing about this year
Great work, NYC!
Fuckin'-A right! I love to see it.
Awesome day
Its 8:37pm here and I can still make this better. In gonna have a glass of water.
The chaos from this will be very entertaining
