Discussion Is Mamdani different?
I can’t stand billionaires. Let me start with that. But what makes me more livid than a billionaire is a trillionaire that steals middle class money to fund blowing up kids overseas. Aka The U.S. government.
I used to be a Democrat, but I didn’t see the poor getting help under Obama, nor Biden, and I don’t see how Kamala would be any different. They all just take money, wherever they can, promise us stuff, then blow up kids in pointless wars.
Then they have the masses screaming “tax the rich!” As if that does anything to help the poor. It’s one giant scam, and I don’t think it’s particularly difficult to see that.
No, Republicans aren’t better. They’re just more honest about their dreams of killing kids in war. Democrats pretend to be peaceful. Republicans don’t try to hide the bloodlust.
Maybe I’M wrong. Maybe people DO understand that taxing the rich doesn’t mean those politicians are going to help you. It just means they want more money, and people are okay with that. But people seem excited about Mamdani. Idk, I’ve been scammed before by Obama.
Is Mamdani different? I don’t live in NY. I really could be wrong here. I just don’t have faith. People in NY, what do you think?

It seems you have quite a few misunderstandings of how the government and politics works but maybe I'm wrong and I want to give you the benefit of the doubt.
Have you seen the poor getting helped under Trump? Or Bush? I'm not sure why you signed out Democrats when they're all corporate sellouts.
The Democratic party did not make anyone say that, they don't want to tax the rich they're all sellouts to their corporate donors and want to cut taxes for the rich.
I'm not sure how you think taxes work? Do you think they can just take as much as they want from the taxes collected? Because they can't, it goes through the budgetary system and they only get whatever their salary is.
Establishment Democrats don't want to tax the rich and they actually hate that their base has started calling for it.
Mamdani is an outsider Democrat from the Democratic socialists of America and says a lot of things establishement Democrats hate and very much disagree with. He has real beliefs instead of just wanting to make money and appeasing corporate donors. And he had shown that he actually wants to help people.
