I've said it before, and I'll keep saying it. I wish every democrat was as much of an insane leftwing socialist as republicans make them out to be

I wouldn't mind Joe Biden from the memes.

What's funny is the MAGAts that live there will HAPPILY take those things... But then still badmouth the shit out of the man who made it possible.

Affordable housing is a major part of Mamdani's platform which is fitting because he live rent free in their heads.

BTW $30 isn't like a crazy high number for minimum wage. The current number is well below the poverty line for families everywhere in the United States, and New York has a very high cost of living. Minimum wage is explicitly intended to provide "the wages of decent living." $30 per hour might actually be too low for New York City. $61,500 a year is barely going to pay the rent in the shittiest neighborhoods. https://www.zillow.com/rental-manager/market-trends/new-york-ny/

If you give your whole life of working hours to a business, the compensation should be a bare minimum of all of Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

Period.

Baby basket may sound like a weird one without context if you're not already familiar with them, but I assume he's talking about a maternity package, or "baby box" which is a wildly successful program in Finland and other parts of Europe. It's a cardboard box filled with baby supplies, and the box itself doubles as their first crib. It's not legal in the US ostensibly because of the cardboard, but functionally cuz we like to punish women every chance we get. Anyway, being cardboard causes literally zero problems, they help to prevent SIDS, and they're cheap.

We should have been doing this for ages.

TFW your government literally just hooked a brain dead pregnant woman up to life support against the wishes of her family, to force her to give birth, but somehow tries to paint political promises of baby baskets for newborns as dystopian nightmare fuel.

Wasn't the baby just delivered a few days ago, very premature? Wasn't it also known that it had hydrocephaly? (both things not very compatible with life)

Using a braindead woman and her braindead premature fetus as political football against the wishes of her family.

That's so evil it's a fucking cartoon. Like twirl your moustache, give an evil laugh, and then steal a blind person's cane while jaywalking.

I thought the republicans loved babies.

Wouldn't they be all over the first two points there?

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 109 points 1 week ago (9 children)

No, they love unborn babies. Born babies cost the money they want to steal from our taxes.

It's amazing, all they need to do is write "socialist" and like Pavlov's dogs maga instantly react with no thought...

How to make maga hate anything: "it's socialism!"

Imagine painting no cost childcare and $30 minimum wage as something bad. Ugh. Those poor rich people are gonna be slightly less rich!

Why would a newborn need baskets of babies, that is so irresponsible.

The right: Birth rates are declining!

The right when they see no cost child care brought up: Socialism bad!

If you're preborn you're fine; if you're preschool, you're fucked!
