How would they even do that? Every right-wing weirdo that I've seen that cares that much about city life has been so scared of the "crime" and "ghetto" there they won't step foot in the city lines.
awesome! i bet republicans cant wait til theyre voted out and the democrats can just take over any state that doesnt agree with them!
love the precedent... assuming any of us get to vote ever again
what could possibly happen that the mayor of NYC is going to do that causes issues for the rest of America? I'm at a total loss to why the federal government is concerned about. Someone please help me understand as I haven't been following this topic too closely.
The next mayor of NYC is probably a brown Muslim guy that wants to show how government can work by helping people. He’s clearly the most dangerous man in America and must be stopped.
Because America isn't a nation, so much as an idea.
And Trump recognizes that he's in control of what that idea can become. Democrats have, at least in recent history, represented an utterly incapable and worthless challenge to that vision. The "centrists", if you can even call them that, capitulated entirely to Trump-ism in the period of 2020-2024. They aren't a challenge to Trumpism.
Mamdani is giving voters an alternative vision of what the future can be, and that is the most threatening thing to both Trump and the management class of the DNC.
This is about controlling the narrative, and Mamdani shows what we progressives have always been saying: Put the policies on the table and the voters will vote for them. The things Mamdani is running on are wildly popular; some of the most popular policies that exist. And they break corporate control over our politics, something that hasn't happens in the US in almost 60 years since the implementation of the southern strategy.
The war Trump is waging against the citizens of the US is no different that than why Putin invaded Ukraine: They are working to redefine the identity of a nation.
Mark my words, Trump will kidnap and murder Mamdani before he cedes control of the narrative which he believes is his own.
And he's just one of many new powerful leaders.
We're all just tired of this system, you can see it around more and more every day.
“Tired of this system”’is some 2003 talk.
Get off your ass.
D.C. Washington D.C. Not Washington state.
something something small government... federal overreach... oppression
Trump has yet to successfully run anything in his life.
trump's fat lazy ass always suggesting shit, tryin' cause stochastic terrorism 🤦
He just sounds like a lunatic to me. I'm not even scared, just angry at this neverending circus when we need to be saving the planet.
He is completely cooked.
My history isn't great, but.........
Trump couldn’t take over a bowl of ice cream from a child.
Anyone that doesn't understand what's been happening is daf.
Anyone that isn't budgeting and spending as much as they can on guns, etc and defense... Is daf. You're buying the next videogame, you're buying an overpriced coffee? You're buying some novelty item... This isn't a game and this isn't a drill... It can quickly be too late. Honestly it already is because for centuries we fed this beast as if we were praising a god.
Once this gets bigger, it's not going to just be an American issue... With the internet.... Now we are looking at a world wide civil war for honest genuine humanity. This is big enough that it's not an American problem, it's a world problem, a humanity problem.
Quit pretending some protest or some government ideology or anyone at all is going to save you... Only you can save yourself.
War has been happening... Politically, psychologically... It's time to dominate our reality.
It's time to maybe understand all of this is fucked up. Like nations across the world... ...that were once seen with pride... Are now the enemy of humanity.
If your nation is collaborating with America in any way... you may be at risk.
I think Brainwormz gave Taco some brain worms.
Ha. Nice
