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!!!

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

OR

"Mamdani declares war on on capitalism!"

[–] vala@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 hour ago

This is bad for some reason

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

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 2 points 47 minutes ago

Dang. That's the one thing infrared the most.

[–] bajabound@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

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

sounds awesome

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 14 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] orenj@leminal.space 4 points 58 minutes 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 13 points 3 hours ago

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

This just in:

Subway Revenue Down 50% Since Mamdani Took Office

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 18 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (2 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.

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

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

[–] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

The escape character turned your markdown to html

[–] JayDee@lemmy.world 1 points 11 minutes ago

I've checked on voyager and fennec browser. It looks correct on both. Which app are you viewing it on?

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

^*I think for superscript on long sentences you just put one carrot at the beginning and end of your sentence like so.^

~Subscript uses a tilde at the beginning and end of the sentence~

NYC mayor ignites division, creating 2-tier payment system for public services

[–] desiccated_event@piefed.blahaj.zone 30 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I hate you and love you all at once. /s?

[–] BloodMuffin@lemmy.ca 16 points 4 hours ago

i should have been a propagandist I guess

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 8 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours 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

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 27 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

"Socialist NYC Mayor sets highest rate of subway fares for regular Americans while providing subsidies for criminals to come to your neighborhood" /Fox news

[–] Rakonat@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

And the republicans said he couldn't govern.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 54 points 6 hours ago (4 children)

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

[–] red_tomato@lemmy.world 10 points 5 hours ago

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

[–] Syndication@lemmy.today 17 points 6 hours ago

You are now an editor at the New York Post. When can you start your position?

[–] huppakee@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago

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

[–] Canconda@lemmy.ca 29 points 6 hours ago

"Muslim Mayor defunds public transit"

[–] Z745812939054@lemmy.zip 38 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

fox news spin: "woke communist so-called 'mayor' declares war on middle and upper class. also eats christian babies"

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 hours ago

I could definitely see “Mamdani wants to make doctors pay more for transit” or something

[–] iknewitwhenisawit@fedinsfw.app 4 points 4 hours ago

That's a bit more like the New York Post. 😉

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 hours ago

This is awful, now those poor people need to tape their tickets back together!

[–] bookmeat@fedinsfw.app 6 points 5 hours 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 3 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

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:

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 4 points 4 hours ago

This is not a negative article it's from an account called "democrats deliver"

[–] one_old_coder@piefed.social 6 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Muslim mayor wants to encourage poor people to take the subway. Is he planning future bombings in order to get rid of them?

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

This is a really good fox news take except most faux news zombies want to kill the poor.

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 hours ago

socialist mayor lures poor new yorkers into citywide surveillance network with cheap transit passes.

[–] Klear@piefed.world 4 points 5 hours ago

What a Mamd lad!

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

This is already a thing isn’t it?

[–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

"Lunatic brown person defies dress code by riding subway in his underwear!"

[–] wiLD0@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Socialist NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani Gives Even More Handouts to Blacks and Immigrants

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Low-income people who can live amidst that rental jungle? That seems to be a very slim section of the population.

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 9 points 5 hours ago

There are a lot of low income projects in New York. Rent controlled apartments and rent stabilized apartments as well.

City is full of retirees and people who are disabled and depend on mass transit because they can't drive.

Moreover, not all of the city is Manhattan.

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 2 points 5 hours ago

Even if they can't live in the city, low-income people might want to visit the city, or commute there for work.
