This is the future that those who are controlling the conservative platform are trying to prevent.

Make no mistake this is and always will be a class war about stealing the value of workers for their own personal gain.

Democrat leadership is also not happy with Mamdani. He isn't following the rules, like David Hogg, or AOC.

Fuck the establishment Democratic Party reps, run them all out of office because they will never get it. We need a new deal not conservative appeasement.

[–] WiseScorpio@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

100%

Democrat leadership is tepid dogwater

What a monster! Making the lives of people better, like a maniac!

That's some poor propaganda, comrade fox news. You should've rendered it in Arabic or Chinese to scare them out

"Building affordable housing" oh the horror! Who would do such a thing?

Huh... that almost sounds like a public... good. Tickle me that.

I'm seriously shocked the Fox media team didn't bother photoshopping horns on his head, distorting his pleasant, lovely smile into a menacing grimace, or altering his skin color into the brimstone-red spectrum.

Or, to be even more crude, him as a caricature of Mohamad.

(Please don't ban me mods, we live in a world where this could actually happen on national TV).

Access to food, transportation, housing, it’s almost like he thinks the job of government is providing decent infrastructure.

People act like $30/hr is high. Note this would be the mayor of NYC, so it would be raised for NYC only if he got his way. The cheapest place you can get to live on your own there I am finding is 2600 a month. So say you made 30/hr. That's $62,400 working 40 hours a week. Take out Federal/state/city taxes ends up being around $46,112 take home. The place costed $31,200. Making the lowest rent findable in Manhattan 2/3 of $30/hr.

They wouldn't be able to get approved to even live there if they tried. They would have to rent a room from someone else with a 4 bedroom place renting to 4 people for around $1200/ month. And share bathrooms/kitchen/living space with people. And they would still struggle to get by if they paid for health insurance, travel costs to and from work, food, and the whole living crap.

$30 isn't radical for NYC, it's like base needed salary... And hope you have a good stable relationship with someone else making the same, then maybe you can get your own place together, just don't do something stupid like get pregnant because you can't afford to not go to work, and can't afford to put them in daycare so you would both have to uproot and move real quick finding jobs elsewhere.
