Mamdani has a pretty easy job in that these people have painted him to be the personification of Satan. He doesn’t need to do much to prove them wrong. If he keeps the city running and it doesn’t fall into the ocean, he’s already a roaring success by Republican standards.
He doesn’t need to do much to prove them wrong.
Nothing he can do will prove anything. Big Tech and Finance owned media will just lie over and over again. They’ll never stop. New York’s actual socio-economic condition won’t be reported on, except in the most polarized “everything is horrible, please liberate our people from the tyrannical Mamdani regime” light.
You will be mentally tortured for watching TV or using the Internet until he is removed from office.
Sensible people don’t watch corporate media. We know what they’ll say about Mamdani because they’ve been useless for at least a decade and already slander NYC as much as they can.
It’s not a matter of sensibility, but availability.
This guy’s Wikipedia page shows that in his entire life, his greatest achievement is beating up 3 people.
His entire political career can be summed up as Jafar from Aladdin; he has a fetish for hurting people, but has evidently never done anything ever to actually ‘help’ anyone in his electorate.
If I ever became noteworthy enough to have a Wikipedia page, I would be downright ashamed to have his. How the fuck is this person an elected representative?
Oklahoma is as red as Massachusetts is blue. It’s just that kind of state.
This post is horribly misleading. Oklahoma ranks last in education. https://www.oklahoman.com/story/news/education/2025/07/24/oklahoma-schools-ranked-nearly-the-worst-in-the-nation-in-new-study/85310196007/
Trump does like his followers stupid.
I forgot he actually said he loves the poorly educated.
Edit: In front of thousands of them and on TV / social media to further millions. And they elected him twice.
Lol, thanks for that.
Is this a great state or what? /s
What they are worried about is that it works in new York. If it works there then they are gonna have to come up with a whole lot of new lies to convince their victims/constituents that it can’t work in their home state.
They’ll just lie about it working in NY and say it’s not.
Say it’s not, even in the face of irrefutable proof, and their brain dead supporters will eat it up and parrot it.
Yup like I said new lies. A whole lot of them.
Just like how they just lie about how America is apparently great again now. Everything has been amazing and perfect since January, and there’s nothing he could be doing better. Food prices are all down, gas prices are super low now. We’re all winning. Believe what you hear, not what you see.
Did you hear about the massive improvement on egg prices and it’s $0.12 a dozen now!
I don’t see why that would matter, ‘Everyone else does it but we could never do it here’ has been americas whole thing as far as social justice goes for as long as I’ve been alive.
they have since resorted to thier lazy basic racism wedge.
That is always the case.
Yeah, no. They aren’t worried at all. They’re just towing the line and trashing the other party as per their sides usual antics. Whether NY succeeds or fails, Republican constituents are simply too fucking dumb and loyal and will swallow whatever bullshit lie their party tells them. Worrying about what lie to make up is the least of the Right’s worries.
Oklahoma here. The last bright spot we had was late 2000s with Brad Henry. A Democrat mind you. After Brad? Republican majority rule for years and years. What happened to the state? Oklahoma is a perfect example of Republican leadership and we are seeing it on the national stage now. Sad.
We are 50th in education, not 48th. Can’t even beat out Mississippi…
Thank God for Oklahoma!
Well done Mississippi, I guess
They love the poorly educated
i think it was kentucky , the only reason it had a dem govorner is because a fully controlled R state wouldve ruined the state economically. because the last R gov did, they wouldve never allowed a D gov to run in a campaign if it wasnt for thier previous R actions.
As a person who knows little about Oklahoma from the States, I feel since the dust bowl and the native americans being “sent” there, it has been one of the least funded per capital states from the federal side of things. I can’t remember many projects at all that have started and weren’t sucked up by bordering states or someone like Texas simply because “we know who texas is, and they have people” or some shit. Oklahoma I’m sure could be great, we just need people to care about the people there
I guess? But we are one of the top beneficiaries for federal dollars https://okpolicy.org/facts-and-figures-on-federal-grant-dollars-in-oklahoma-2024/
If you are talking about why companies don’t come here, if we look at education as a factor, then the talent pool ain’t here. We are 44th in the country for how many of us have a bachelor’s degree. But we are great cheap labor.
Jfc. Anything or anyone they don’t like is communism. Imagine if they saw ACTUAL communism. Their tiny minds would implode
The Incan empire would blow their minds. Note their economic systems were extremely egalitarian.
There’s a very factual reason for why people would “go native” and never want to come back, many but not all Native American tribes and societies were very egalitarian
You’ll be surprised. My observation as someone grew up in a communist country is that Americans who use “communism” as a threat to the world actually really love the PRC and will go out of their way praising the PRC.
Americans who use “communism” as a threat to the world actually really love the PRC
A large wealthy heavily urbanized and industrial country with high quality of life, a highly educated population, low instances of poverty and crime, and virtually no homelessness as a direct consequence of government policy.
It’s everything Americans say they want when they talk about the American Dream.
What Americans couldn’t handle was seeing all the non-white people in positions of wealth and power.
Native peoples setting domestic policy in a rich and powerful nation? An absolute nightmare for the American elite class.
Currently in the PRC, they would probably hate the idea that people they think are below them can live in an apartment for like 300 USD, eat out every day, and be seen enjoying themselves and dancing/gambling in the evenings.
PLEASE Remember to vote REPUBLICAN so you can LOSE your SNAP Benefits, LOSE your ability to Travel during Christmas and HELP Kidnap Children! That’s MUCH MUCH MUCH BETTER then being Able to afford GROCERIES!
-Senator Mullin!
No, no. Those are all the necessary sacrifices so that you don’t have to see those people in your neighborhood with darker skin than you anymore. It’s a great deal!
I’m embarrassed to say that I finally understand your username. 😂
Markwayne was named after his two paternal uncles. My guess is his mom didn’t know which one was the actual father.
Brutal
A senator that doesn’t know the difference between a communist and a democratic socialist clearly has no place in our government.
A solid portion of Americans cannot tell he difference
Well, they do love the uneducated
No they don’t, they love the stupidity.
for republicans always black and white, its one or thie either, they are uncomfortable there is variations in between, and even variations in one side or the other.
A senator that doesn’t know the difference between a democratic socialist and social democrat doesn’t, either.
or even from a socialist from a dem socialist. i doubt any of thier voters know either.
They don’t even know WHAT communism actually is
Communism is when my guy doesn’t get to run things. And the less control I have, the more Communist everything is.
Tbf neither do leftist American kids on Lemmy. I’m pretty sure Americans are dumb
Edit: im an indigenous person who actually lived under communism for a while, but yeah the white North American kids who grew up in America are telling me what communism is
Yeah, I agree
I’m pretty sure Americans are dumb
Blind and deaf maybe. But Americans never shut up.
The “he’s a Communist!” shit isn’t fooling New Yorkers anymore.
“Communist”, “woke”, “liberal” just words that mean “thing I don’t like” to them
insert picture of car repair book cover “this engine is woke”
The oldie but goodie has made a comeback. “This engine is communist.”
bugs bunny meme our engine
Republicans: “He’s a communist!”
Dirty liberal/leftist/progressive New Yorkers: “Good”
Doesn’t help that they’ve been calling literally anyone with a D next to their name a communist or a socialist for decades now.
I can remember when I was a kid, “socialism” was something bad the way it was talked about, but I had no idea why. As soon as I was old enough to understand what it actually meant I knew that was bullshit.
And that’s why education is communism to these assholes. If people know how to think they will see how terrible republican ideas are.
Younger generations don’t have the same Pavlovian response to words like communism and socialism, so I think these boomer-ass losers are in for a rude awakening if they think they can continue to lean on that tactic.
Pffft.
Look up Fiorella LaGuardia, considered New York’s best mayor ever.
He ran on a Fusin Ticket of the socialists, the Republicans, and the Communists.
Being normal and having human empathy and compassion is the opposite of being a Republican. Who knew?
Also, Democrats suck as well. They’re beholden to the billionaire class, but don’t seem to actively want to cause harm to the rest of us.
There was that study that shows the more right leaning someone is, the less empathy they have for people, animals and things outside of their immediate few circles (friends of friends kind of thing).
Democrats are essentially just republicans as well but with a bit of pink/green washing/performative action going on so.
They can be summed up as:
Repub: I don’t care unless it affects me and mine then I’ll bleat asking why no-one is doing anything about it.
Dems: I’ll pretend to care but won’t actually do anything to tackle the underlying causes but will nod caringly with a bit of a sad face
The fact that NYC has over twice the population of his entire state is kinda funny.
Too bad BLM already burned New York to the ground amiriiight!?
