"Antifa Mamdani spends New Yorkers' tax payer money to transport illegal and homeless people to work at abortion clinics"

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago

sounds awesome

[–] bajabound@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

Made possible by viewers like you, the SPLC, and the George Soros Foundation for anti-american activities.

Dang. That's the one thing I feared the most.

Democrat/Muslim mayor of NYC claims to cut spending for transit, but is it really helping everyone?

[–] red_tomato@lemmy.world 28 points 2 months ago

This is bad news for the already struggling millionaires in New York.

[–] huppakee@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

OR: Democrat/Muslim mayor of NYC claims to cut spending for transit, but does it decrease congestion?

Subway Revenue Down 50% Since Mamdani Took Office

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 37 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

^^*actual ^^revenue ^^increased ^^due ^^to ^^increased ^^ridership ^^and ^^simple ^^anti-corruption ^^efforts ^^in ^^contracting.

Edit; Formatting is hard, and I'm giving up on the joke. Fox would never admit to such truths even in a subscript at the bottom of an article.

Was this the aim? Just do ^this^ for every word.

Mamdani is inviting the homeless to stay on the subway for a reduced cost while normal people pay the price.

[–] Leather@lemmy.world 63 points 2 months ago

I think people are missing your solid Fox News headline.

[–] teslekova@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 months ago

Ooo, now you're working for Sky News. This is the take the magas will use.

"Muslim Mayor defunds public transit"

[–] Rivermoonwolf@lemmy.world 30 points 2 months ago

"When will Muslim mayor think of the hard working rich?"

OR

"Mamdani declares war on on capitalism!"

[–] vala@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 2 months ago (3 children)

This is bad for some reason

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 20 points 2 months ago

It obviously incentivizes you to be poor because you get all these benefits! /s

Wait, people think this is a bad thing? Guess I'm too Canadian to understand the reasoning.

[–] orenj@leminal.space 27 points 2 months ago

You're not supposed to help the poors, they're supposed to wrack themselves in debt buying and maintaining a car instead

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago

The reason why its bad is those awful poors might show the rest of us how if you help people they prosper.

He has such an electable face. I wish I could vote for him

[–] jamesrandysghost@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 months ago

He smiles with his whole face, it's like the polar opposite of the ghouls who's smile never touches their eyes.

I know that kind of thing can be faked, but Mamdani just seems so fucking happy that he actually gets to help people.

I fear for him.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

Wow, what an asshole for helping other human beings. This fucking guy!

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

"Mamdani cut tickets in half, like a magician cuts people in half. Do you want a homicidal wizard running your city?"

This good?

I can see Jesse Waters saying this

It doesn't have to make sense

[–] DupaCycki@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Clearly he's antagonizing hard workers by supporting lazy parasites that do nothing but take social support money and spend it on alcohol. This is how America dies. /s

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Watch this cut fare jumpers better than any 12ft barrier

[–] lefaucet@slrpnk.net 10 points 2 months ago

Can't stop (can't stop), can't stop the beat I won't stop (won't stop), won't stop the beat, and go!!!

[–] Reborn_Mormon@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Why do people need to ride the subway? Why aren't they driving like reel Americans?

[–] bookmeat@fedinsfw.app 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I like how even the articles that try to put a negative spin on his work always show a photo of him smiling.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (5 children)

It's actually sorta difficult to find a picture of him where he's not talking or smiling. I found this one, and he's kind of unrecognizable:

[–] Leviathan@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

He looks like he's tired of someone's shit.

I don't even think the talking heads have to do much editorializing before printing this one, much like they didn't do anything but post the word-for-word DSA platform in that viral photo of their anchor pointing at it incredulously.

Their target audience already see this is as a clearly bad decision in that it benefits many poor(er) people at the expense of some rich(er) people; that's political suicide for the American Right in 2026.
