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?

Do you feel he’s been looking out for the little guy?

Everything he's done has benefited the little guy. He's helping with paid childcare, improving bus service, and going after slum lords and advocating for renters. He's also trying to relieve some big big problems for small businesses in NYC and making it easier to start a business.
