    Weird, I don’t see the city burning down and people “leaving in droves” like all these red hat backwoods real tree wearing Bubbas from Tennessee were claiming was going to happen by now.

      Should see the look on my family’s face when they complain about some progressive thing somebody does or I say we should do; and they’re like “that’s communism!”

      And. I’m either like “So?” or like “If it means people have housing and food, I’m okay with that.”

    I really hate this narrative. Instead of taxing the rich like he said he would, he ended up just being given billions from the state…

          The massive deficit was straight up caused by a vindictive Cuomo who intentionally fucked the budget just before leaving office.

          Have some damn perspective and maybe keep watching.

          2 out of the 12 was from deferring pension payments, and the suggested plans to deal with it from other’s was to rely completely on pension deferment.

          It’s not good to have pension deferments, but this is legitimately the least bad option given what was possible short term.

      🤷‍♀️ it’s a nice change of pace from the zillion “democrats just as bad” posts we usually get.

        I wouldn’t say just as bad. But most of them are almost as bad.

        Then you get this rare case. I really wish Mamdani could run for president.
