In his first 150 days, Mayor Mamdani has:
- closed a $12B deficit
- collected $9M in unpaid fines from Bezos
- recovered $5M in stolen wages for gig workers
- raised minimum wage to $30/hr
- drove violent crime to record lows
- marched for trans rights
I don't ever want to hear an excuse from a single Democrat ever again. Turns out the "radical leftist agenda" is just competent representation.
Please be so kind as to make a few Mamdani clones and lend them to us.
Kind regards from Germany. 🤗
Or pit the funding aside to get some good folks into a similar position…
Sadly the haphazard early vote last year got us Merz and Reiche. It's not that they're malicious. They're just total incompetent in every measurable dimension. Unfortunately the saying about stupidity and malice goes both ways, i.e. their actions are indistinguishable from intentional malice.

@Lana EXACTLY THAT!
I think the USA needs AOC as POTUS!
Also Mamdani shows the need for EVERY POLITICAN to go outside to constituents and literally "touch grass" to the point that I'd not be surprised if he were to setup a public picnic in Central Park, sitting down in the lawn, taking notes and listening to what people say.

I had trouble swallowing the $9 milski from Bezos; looked it up & found it was traffic violations for Amazon delivery trucks. Same pockets I guess. ha
And the best part is he is not playing favorites, hes is doing what he is doing for everyone. He does not get up on a podium and bash the "other" side, he just works for the people. ALL the people.
He is a beautiful representation of "Speak softly and carry a big stick".
Mamdani's a light in the darkness for sure.
Crazy hysterical language from the media though, up until Reagan what today's media call radical leftism would have been seen as fairly mainstream centrism in the 1970s. We're seeing the same media hysteria in the UK against the leader of our resurgent Green Party.
Re: Reagan, check out these charts highlighting the changes he made:

A few years ago, my started-voting-in-the-1960s Republican mom wondered how she ever raised a Democrat daughter. I rolled my eyes and said that the way things were going, I'd be a socialist in not too long.
Yay Mamdani!
And the democrats fought against him, tooth and nail.
Understanding that unlocks a pathway forward.
@vervain
> And the democrats fought against
What is in the R party had stolen the words Conservative, Right.
What is in the D party had stolen the words Progressive, Left.
On both sides' NCs we have oligarchs sharing the principle to preserve "our god given rights to what we got off the serfs".
Where they differ is in the means to briddle their livestock, us.

Middle-aged American here, lived in Germany half my life (though not currently), can confirm.
@light
> And "DPRK" is short for "Democratic People's Republic of Korea". Your point?
Nominal determinism is fake.
DPRK is not doing democracy.
Antifa is doing antifascism.
Which orgs and what did you read? Because if you think that trans people don't lack any rights, then you've read TERF propaganda.
One example that you can easier get T for male gender affirmation therapies than HRT.
So if you're not willing to listen to trans activists, then just leave trans people alone.
@dzwiedziu
>One example that you can easier get T for male gender affirmation therapies than HRT.
How and source?
>leave trans people alone
Already do. But they don't leave me alone.
@light
Search “HRT ban”.
Let me guess, they won't leave you alone, because they exist?
That's why I'm not willing to engage in a debate. I've already noted you as a transphobe a few months ago, and now you're just slowly going there.
Bugger off
@light
So you're okay with body modification, but only to the point that *you* accept.
Okay, transphobe.
@dzwiedziu It's debatable whether modifying your body into the form of a man or woman actually makes you that sex. I would argue that with the tech we have (which IIRC is basically just cosmetic surgery) it does not.
But that opinion doesn't mean that I don't think they should be allowed to undergo that surgery, you nuance-free fool.
Their body, their choice.
My mind, my choice.
Freedom to express yourself, whether it's your gender-stereotyped style or your philosophical beliefs.
Deal?
@light
I'm sorry, you're calling me a “dunce” and a “nuance-free fool” and expect me to make a “deal” with you?
You're breaking Popper's Paradox (as a social contract) and expect me to meet you half way?
Gender expression includes social gender, so no deals with transphobes.
@light
Yeah, you “completely” agree to body modding up to the point you set.
And beyond that you're a transphobe.
No need to prove that further.
@light
> they demand I agree with them that they are literally the opposite gender/sex
Social gender
Imagine this guy becoming president in the US.
