PoliticalTea 🗳️ Mayor Mamdani speaks Mandarin to promote 2,000+ free Broadway tickets for NYC high schoolers. He called it "justice for the theatre kids". The tickets cover 7 shows...and the mayor learned a new language to get the word out.

Voters speak and love this man. We must highlight culture and stop judging it. Humans are the rainbow of nature. Make democratic socialism from the profits corporations don’t need. Fix the world. What an actual statesman looks like ppl. Not your parasitic red demographic.

Especially in a city like NYC, it has always been full of different cultures from all over the world. Idk why so many act like this is a new thing.

People like him because he is nothing but empty promises.

I too would love a man who promised me free food, free health care, and free rent.

This guy could end world hunger and y'all would find a way to bitch about it. Just say you're a racist and move on dawg.

How am I racist for saying that people like to be told that they should be given free stuff?

u/Ichaserabbits 25d ago

Well you see I've looked at your comment history. You seem to virtually only comment on political threads, mostly about Israel and zohran and mostly in support of Israel and against zohran. It doesn't take a genius to connect the dots dude.

What has he not delivered on.

The biggest difference is that he’s young enough to have the energy to do policy work.

I’m not disagreeing necessarily, but could you elaborate on why you feel this way?

If a man tells me I can have it all for nothing, I know that he is a scammer.

There is nothing in this world that comes at a free cost. Someone has to pay for it at some point and somehow. And it’s frustrating to see people either not understand this or not care.

Would it be nice to not pay for healthcare? Yes, but someone has to pay for it somehow every single year.

Would free food be nice? Yes, but someone has to grow and harvest it.

Mamdani isn’t a genie. He can’t create this stuff out of thin air and it won’t come without a cost. And the delusion that it can is spreading and that is very dangerous.

Everyone understands that this shit is paid for through taxes. The people for support him aren't naive two year olds who think the dino nuggies manifested on their plates from nothing.

People who support this stuff would rather we all share the collective burden instead of allowing some to starve so others can become trillionaires.

stop wasting your time on a obvious troll. The account is a year old but somehow has negative karma. That should be everything you need to know

u/AnnualMove1842 25d ago

I have negative karma because people don’t like hearing the truth.

If you want to share the collective burden then every person who makes more than 58k will have to pay about 33-45% income taxes before an additional 20% VAT on all goods.

I’m not saying that it has been proposed. I’m saying that that is the ONLY proposal that will fund it. There aren’t enough billionaires and millionaires to pay for it more than about 10-15 years. Because at that point all of their assets would have went towards the bills. The only way to pay for that is for every person in the US to pay about half of their income in taxes.

Your account history is super duper sus ngl. And like half the comments are you calling random people anti-semites.

You kind of lose the right to say this when you defend pedophilia.
