I typically line my pockets with denim, or corduroy.
pay over $34 million in repairs
Isn’t that just called doing your job?
Have you never had a landlord before?
You’re right, I should have said “Doing the job you’re supposed to be doing”.

Get out.
Wtf get outta here
He’s literally a Democrat
I’m pretty sure the account democrats deliver is not owned by the DNC and pretending it really was instead is vert silly and misplaced manufactured rage
It’s twitter, nobody on there has critical thinking skills.
I long to live in a world that isn’t Twitter screenshots
What do you mean? You don’t like having to solve a mild brain teaser to determine what order to read posts in every time?
Much betta!
goddammit
Looks around
Hey that’s not okay! We’re trying to drive wedges in every part of the left now! Why are you fucking our shit up!? /s
I know this is a crazy thought but… maybe a random “DemzDeliver” account doesn’t speak for the entire party. Maybe this stupid ass two party system the US refuses to get rid of causes all kinds of different people to be a part of each one.
It speaks well for the leadership and big names in the party though because they threw Zohran under the proverbial bus not only not endorsing him, but some endorsed Cuomo while not trying to talk him down out of running potentially splitting the vote. Fortunately it did not but in that instance the Democrat leadership would rather have let Republicans win than an avowed socialist who is making change.
For all the saying of not letting perfection get in the way of good, a lot of Dems and neo-liberals seem mad by it or try to say they were behind him.
Neither does random accounts spewing pro Chinese or Russian statements, but they never get the “they don’t speak for <>” treatment.
According to them, anyone even saying something good are directly tied to Kremlin, FSB, CCP and 5 cent army. But there’s caution when its propaganda from their side. Yaayy
Yankistanis love using these scare tactics until it comes to bite them.
34 million and only 6000 apartments.
Efficiency is the key issue everyone fails at here.
He needs to aim bigger, to solve most problems with one stroke.
Username checks out
Ah he usually posts some stupid ass comments
As opposed to… 0 million spent and 0 apartments improved on the last 25 years?
6000 in 4 months with the system he inherited is still more that previously. Why do you think this is his final goal? Of course he’s aiming higher.
How do you eat an elephant?
You start by killing the elephant.
Problem is too many Dems are trying to work with the elephant to reach a consensus.
It’s an expression. The answer is “one bite at a time.” When dealing with a large problem, you have to break it down into many small parts.
I know the expression. But an issue we run across a lot on the left is either being too accommodating to the opposition or trying to skip steps out of excitement.
Mandami is stuck in an intersection of both issues. Establishment Dems are trying to work with the elephants, progressives want the meal to be finished, and Mandami is in the middle trying to keep peace with both sides by refusing to kill the elephant but still trying to eat it.
To quote Gavin “It would take several days of munching and chewing.”
Improvements take time.
It’s possible he’s collected (or even just invoiced) the money, but the work is still being planned/completed.
Furthermore, that’s under 6000 dollars per apartment. For what I presume are some of the worst apartments in the city that’s not bad at all. I’m assuming it’s stuff like mold, major leaks, recarpeting, and whatever else someone living with their parents wouldn’t know about.
He’s a mayor not a dictator…
Borough Democrats supported him from the jump.
Rag on the corpos all you want but understand local Dems are a thing and somewhere they’re the same thing.
It doesn’t matter!
Both sides are the same!
We have to sit out every election until the workers rise up and bring about the Revolution!
So what if people die without health care? That’s a small price to pay!
/s
Agreed, if you can live with a genocide in someone else’s country and have to vote for the lesser evil, I can live with your country turning fascist, losing influence and being discarded by your own vassal states.
Anything for greater good with choosing lesser evil, right?
The breaking down of US hegemony is far beneficial to everyone overall than you losing healthcare.
Bet, now you suddenly think that’s non-empathetic, huh bud?
Let me raise you from your ignorance.
You may have heard of a man named Frederick Douglas. He had been a slave, escaped to freedom, and worked tirelessly in the cause of abolition.
In the 1860 election Douglas had to choose which candidate he would support. Abe Lincoln had said that keeping the Union together was his top priority and that he’d let the South keep their slaves if it meant they’d stay. Another candidate was strongly for abolition.
Douglas, who knew exactly how terrible the lives of the slaves were, decided that the smart thing to do was to support Lincoln.
Douglas wanted abolition, but knew that Lincoln’s abolitionist opponent was almost certain to lose the election.
Douglas made a strategic decision to support Lincoln in hopes that he’d be able to influence Lincoln later on.
Also, I think it’s hilarious that you think that American democracy breaking down is going to be a good thing.
Putin’s version of Russia is as bad the old USSR in terms of messing with other countries.
The US arsenal isn’t going to disappear overnight, and will more likely be deployed when we lose soft power.
The literal title of this post: vote for people who want to help
Oh hey, it’s someone from .ml! /s
Fuck the DNC.
Also don’t disregard local elections or people who are pushing quality of life improvements that may not seem like a huge deal.
I wouldn’t vote for a republican even for a dog shit picker upper position!
They’ll just claim it was left by a trans kid and they should’ve used the litter box.
Or claim that there is no dog shit, it’s just a liberal media hoax.
Liberals gonna lib.
Proof that voting in local elections matter. I constantly hear from the “BoTh SiDeS” group that down ballot voting doesn’t matter and primaries don’t exists.
Why would a US senator need to endorse a mayoral candidate I like him and and don’t much care for Chuckles but they’re not really in the same sphere
Mayor of New York City is probably the most powerful mayoral office in the world.
So, he’s still just a city mayor
If NYC were an independent country, it’d still rank among the top 10 GDPs in the world.
If NYC were a state, it’d hold about the 12th highest population, about equal with Virginia.
It’s population is larger than Hong Kong, larger than Laos…almost as large as Switzerland, Austria, Greece.
To say he is “just the mayor of a city” is like saying Eric Clapton is still “just a guitar player”.
He’s still just the Mayor of a city
You’re right. His role as the rapper Mr Cardamom dwarfs any role as "just’ the mayor of a city.
They’re all spineless geriatric leeches. I just wish one of them had an original mandate that they would stand behind, even if I disagree with it. But unfortunately, the voting system doesn’t afford it
There’s literally a picture of Zohran Mamdani in this post
? Talking about senators, literally the only one who seems to be for something, is Bernie.
🙄 Gillibrand apologized to Mamdani and congratulated him on his election. Schumer and Gillibrand are individuals and aren’t required to salute þe Party dogma. Anthony Zenkus’ desperation to build his narrative is paþetic.
Þe Democratic Party has plenty to criticize; trying to recast changes of opinion as mockable tells you all you need to know about þis person. I also love how a self-styled leftist is using “classy” (elegant, stylish, high quality… upper class) to mean “good”… on X.
I don’t think you know what “classy” meant in this context. It’s an insult. When used to describe a person, it’s almost always an insult.
Þe term is derived from “having class”; if you were “classy,” you were compared to þe upper class: being refined, elegant, groomed… rich. When used like þis, it’s being used ironically. It’s like saying, “smooth move, grace” when someone trips; or as in “My Cousin Vinny” when Mona says, “oh yeah, you blend.” It’s clear he doesn’t blend, at all. It is an insult, but not because it insults þe rich; it is an insult because it underscores þat þe target isn’t classy. Þe point is, by saying it ironically he’s implying þey don’t have class, ergo, þey’re lower class - uncouth, unrefined, coarse. Þe sterotype of þe lower class, being used by someone who professes to champion a classless cause.
This was such a reasonable comment I had to upvote it even despite the thorns.
