Iโm all for sanctioning authoritarian oligarchies, but unfortunately for you, that is the Trump administration.
US cabinet average wealth by far the highest in US history? Oligopoly
Armed masked men are abducting US citizens into unmarked vans? Authoritarian
NYC has neither of those things. Nice try though?
Life was better when people like you were just known as village idiots and we could chuck produce at you whenever you spoke so you knew your opinions were comically stupid
Are you nuts? I'm not going to spend my day explaining the history of the NYPD to you because you missed an obvious joke. There are absolutely ICE raids taking place in NYC. Local police has to cooperate with higher level law enforfement. America has been fascist for generations since well before it killed and poisoned all the civilians in Vietnam, passed the Patriot Act, and tortured kids at black sites in Chicago during the Obama years. Get real
In order: 1.No 2. To be a joke it would have to be funny 3. yes because federal agents can operate locally anywhere, which is obvious to anyone but the village idiot 4. As you said, they โhave toโ cooperate, which kind of goes against your point of them being willing 5. America absolutely has been facist for generations, but more so in republican administrations (gauntenmo and patriot act under bush, Nixon shooting protestors, and now) 6. black sites were Chicago PD operated, Obama had nothing to do with them. 7. Put your dunce cap back on and go sit in the corner
Demokkkrat cope
authoritarian oligarchic rogue municipality
Do... Do you even know anything about NYC? Without googling, how much is subway fare?
Or better yet, answer me this: you see an empty subway car pulling in. It's 6pm on a Wednesday, the other cars have people in them. Do you get on?
God they were right this site really is like the Bluesky of Reddit
It's more like the GitHub of Spotify, or the Grammarly of Xbox Live, or the BMW of Pepsi Max, or the South Korea of pineapples, etc.
out of curiosity, which parallel reality are you posting this from?
The only good one
I pray to fucking God he's even a fraction as radical as he says he'll be. Democratic socialism is like the bare fucking minimum.
Bout as radical as Liz Warren lol
Wait is this a bit? Sorry, I'm not good with irony.
Liz Warren is a shitlib lol. Terrible, not radical in the slightest, saps radical energy and time and redirects it back into the system. So far Mamdani's been way cooler.
Also I'm an anarchist-communist. I absolutely do not oppose Mamdani being radical. Actually, I consider him to be a moderate. Hell I would be literally thrilled if he went rogue. Going rogue against the terrorist American State should be considered the greatest service one could ever do for humanity.
Naw, Warrenโs a real one.
Just another ten years and she's totally going to pass that bill clipping executives' golden parachute severance packages
Yes because sheโs solely responsible for every bill that passes through the senate ๐
Eeeewww the lib-ification is beginning ๐คฎ. This is why I don't fuck with reformism ๐คฎ๐คฎ๐คฎ
You can't judge these people ideologically based on their public statements, political structures that back candidates are the only thing they are accountable to

You're 100% right but it's just... it's hard sometimes not to try to find patterns in the noise. But it is just that...noise.
Lol he got a nod from Bill Clinton ๐ฟ
Aw shit
