Why can't any city I live in have a Mamdani. I cry everyday knowing he's not my mayor.

Be the Mamdani you want up see in the world!
Jokes aside, I'm with you my dude, I just want people who aren't psychopaths running things, it shouldn't be that hard and New York has proven that you can have not just a mediocre leader, but an actual good one...
He has such an electable face. I wish I could vote for him
He smiles with his whole face, it's like the polar opposite of the ghouls who's smile never touches their eyes.
I know that kind of thing can be faked, but Mamdani just seems so fucking happy that he actually gets to help people.
I fear for him.
Watch this cut fare jumpers better than any 12ft barrier
"NY subway set to lose billions of tax dollars ~overthreehundredyears~, Elon proposes new loop!"
I don't even think the talking heads have to do much editorializing before printing this one, much like they didn't do anything but post the word-for-word DSA platform in that viral photo of their anchor pointing at it incredulously.
Their target audience already see this is as a clearly bad decision in that it benefits many poor(er) people at the expense of some rich(er) people; that's political suicide for the American Right in 2026.
Wow, what an asshole for helping other human beings. This fucking guy!
Why do people need to ride the subway? Why aren't they driving like reel Americans?
Socialism! Communism! ReeeEEEeeeEe!!!!! Wait, now the kids like socialism and communism? How did that happen?!?!??
Mamdani is inviting the homeless to stay on the subway for a reduced cost while normal people pay the price.
I think people are missing your solid Fox News headline.
Ooo, now you're working for Sky News. This is the take the magas will use.
Ooh no he is inviting those to homeless shelters instead. https://www.nyc.gov/mayors-office/news/2026/02/mayor-mamdani-announces-opening-of-new-safe-haven-shelter-in-low

So, it looks like you can have unlimited travel around New York City for ~$75-150/month.
I'm not too sure if this reflects the change or not (hence the range). https://www.mta.info/fares-tolls/subway-bus
Honestly, that seems like a good deal to me. I don't live any place w/ public transportation.

It's like reading KDE feature updates as a hyprland elitist. Doesn't affect me directly, but still stoked at what's new
I'm currently a KDE elitist, how do I upgrade my subscription?
Also will I need to transition?
You either have to transition or forego any social life

NYC mayor ignites division, creating 2-tier payment system for public services
Clearly he's antagonizing hard workers by supporting lazy parasites that do nothing but take social support money and spend it on alcohol. This is how America dies. /s
"When will Muslim mayor think of the hard working rich?"
OR
"Mamdani declares war on on capitalism!"
This just in:
Subway Revenue Down 50% Since Mamdani Took Office
Maybe with some fine tuning: "NYC Subway at risk of bankrupcy as Mamdani slashes its revenues!"
^^*actual ^^revenue ^^increased ^^due ^^to ^^increased ^^ridership ^^and ^^simple ^^anti-corruption ^^efforts ^^in ^^contracting.
Edit; Formatting is hard, and I'm giving up on the joke. Fox would never admit to such truths even in a subscript at the bottom of an article.

Democrat/Muslim mayor of NYC claims to cut spending for transit, but is it really helping everyone?
As a German that is included in "everyone": definitely not!
I appreciate it anyways, go go Mr M!

This is bad for some reason
It obviously incentivizes you to be poor because you get all these benefits! /s

Wait, people think this is a bad thing? Guess I'm too Canadian to understand the reasoning.
If the poor can have a decent life, they won't make any effort to become rich, and the US will crumble.
Well, they mean crumble even faster than now!
You're not supposed to help the poors, they're supposed to wrack themselves in debt buying and maintaining a car instead
The reason why its bad is those awful poors might show the rest of us how if you help people they prosper.
