They did and that's why it's funny he won. He's proposing five municipal grocery stores and stacking the housing board and the political establishment went spare. He's not even proposing sewer socialism.

But i still enjoy seeing the people who lost today lose.

kinda. Jim Clyburn flipped after the primary and a bunch of the other ghouls dragged their feet all the way to last night, including Chuck never endorsing Mamdani and presumably voting for Cuomo.

I don't think Hakeem Jefferies ever endorsed him either lol

"We did this!"

Also this is the part where all those "Obama called him", "Bernie had a meeting", stories come into play. It's proof that the Democrats helped him all along! Funny how that happened.

Prop 50 passing

Oh boy I wonder what the inevitable SC decision is going to be. No worries though I’m sure Sotomayor will write an epic clapback

What will be the Puerto Rican equivalent of Ruthkanda forever? In 20 years I'm gonna get that mournful message in my family whatsapp group.

Just told my 10yo daughter about #SS in the work camp soylent distribution center. She would have had tears in her eyes if she wasn't too dehydrated to cry. And then she did the Wakanda pose and said "#Soniakanda forever". I couldn't see who was in the panopticon but I assume they must have tried to cry too. When Frau Bondi hears of this, I'm sure she will be touched enough to increase our soylent portions by 1.25% -- which is the sort of incrementalism that I can celebrate.

/uj My guess is we'll probably see white soccer moms doing racist "spicy latina" shit for weeks on end. But if any hexbears can come up with a Puerto Rican localization of Ruthkanda then gold-communist

Keep in mind that while both of these things are most likely objectively good, neither will do anything to stop the genocide in Palestine

I didn't know the mayor of new York has any control over that

I never said he did. The Democrats fought Mamdani the whole way, now they're sucking themselves off because he won, and they should have spent that energy stopping the genocide.
