Mamdani has a pretty easy job in that these people have painted him to be the personification of Satan. He doesn’t need to do much to prove them wrong. If he keeps the city running and it doesn’t fall into the ocean, he’s already a roaring success by Republican standards.
He doesn’t need to do much to prove them wrong.
Nothing he can do will prove anything. Big Tech and Finance owned media will just lie over and over again. They'll never stop. New York's actual socio-economic condition won't be reported on, except in the most polarized "everything is horrible, please liberate our people from the tyrannical Mamdani regime" light.
You will be mentally tortured for watching TV or using the Internet until he is removed from office.
Sensible people don't watch corporate media. We know what they'll say about Mamdani because they've been useless for at least a decade and already slander NYC as much as they can.
It's not a matter of sensibility, but availability.
Jfc. Anything or anyone they don’t like is communism. Imagine if they saw ACTUAL communism. Their tiny minds would implode
The Incan empire would blow their minds. Note their economic systems were extremely egalitarian.
There’s a very factual reason for why people would “go native” and never want to come back, many but not all Native American tribes and societies were very egalitarian
You'll be surprised. My observation as someone grew up in a communist country is that Americans who use "communism" as a threat to the world actually really love the PRC and will go out of their way praising the PRC.
Currently in the PRC, they would probably hate the idea that people they think are below them can live in an apartment for like 300 USD, eat out every day, and be seen enjoying themselves and dancing/gambling in the evenings.

A large wealthy heavily urbanized and industrial country with high quality of life, a highly educated population, low instances of poverty and crime, and virtually no homelessness as a direct consequence of government policy.
It's everything Americans say they want when they talk about the American Dream.
What Americans couldn't handle was seeing all the non-white people in positions of wealth and power.
Native peoples setting domestic policy in a rich and powerful nation? An absolute nightmare for the American elite class.
They don't even know WHAT communism actually is
Communism is when my guy doesn't get to run things. And the less control I have, the more Communist everything is.
Markwayne was named after his two paternal uncles. My guess is his mom didn't know which one was the actual father.
Brutal
This guy's Wikipedia page shows that in his entire life, his greatest achievement is beating up 3 people.
His entire political career can be summed up as Jafar from Aladdin; he has a fetish for hurting people, but has evidently never done anything ever to actually 'help' anyone in his electorate.
If I ever became noteworthy enough to have a Wikipedia page, I would be downright ashamed to have his. How the fuck is this person an elected representative?
Oklahoma is as red as Massachusetts is blue. It’s just that kind of state.
Too bad BLM already burned New York to the ground amiriiight!?
Good response from "thejeffmann." As long as the Oklahoma Oblast is red run, it will continue to fail. The dumbfuck Mullin never met a true communist.
What does he mean by liberal states going blue? Aren't they already blue by definition?
Well, you have sky blue, dark blue and navy blue, and then you have scary liberal communist blue. They're not the same.
What about Prussian blue, I want to wear a pickelhaube.
Any of them got a nice Cerulean?
i think he means "I'm not gonna panic just because nyc voted the democrat in", even as he's literally panicking about that very thing.
Being normal and having human empathy and compassion is the opposite of being a Republican. Who knew?
Also, Democrats suck as well. They're beholden to the billionaire class, but don't seem to actively want to cause harm to the rest of us.
There was that study that shows the more right leaning someone is, the less empathy they have for people, animals and things outside of their immediate few circles (friends of friends kind of thing).
Democrats are essentially just republicans as well but with a bit of pink/green washing/performative action going on so.
They can be summed up as:
Repub: I don't care unless it affects me and mine then I'll bleat asking why no-one is doing anything about it.
Dems: I'll pretend to care but won't actually do anything to tackle the underlying causes but will nod caringly with a bit of a sad face
Let me send him to my family back in China and Vietnam so he knows what COMMUNISM truly is! What a dumbass!
They are like 48th in education, the DUMB leading the DUMB! 🤦🏽♀️ (what Drumpf loves, uneducated people and stated it-hence why dumb votes for dumb via misinformation and fb propaganda), case and point.
People need to use critical thinking skills and research vs just blindly believing fb posts! It’s honestly embarrassing!!
He doesn’t even understand the difference between, “Communism vs Socialism”. 🤦🏽♀️
You can’t fix stupid but only can try to educate the dumb!
Their horror and fear is delightful!
Based
Give them the same agreements people made about Trump in 2016. He's an outsider. He'll run it like a business. Give him a chance.
the same senator ran/ or hid from 1/6 rioters in the capitol hill, instead of greeting his "compatriots".
OKlahoma was infamous for the unabomber, that counts for something?
Americans still don't know what communism is.
