"Mamdani said he was inspired by the US civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr, who once remarked: “Call it democracy or call it democratic socialism. There has to be a better distribution of wealth for all of God’s children in this country.”
He then reiterated his intent to raise taxes on New York’s wealthiest as part of a campaign pledge “to shift the tax burden from overtaxed homeowners in the outer boroughs to more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods”.
“I don’t think that we should have billionaires because, frankly, it is so much money in a moment of such inequality… "
States rights! They shouted. Turns out they didn’t even want city rights.
States’ Rights!*
Demand for rights only applies to states, not counties, cities, towns, or villages. Only Republican governors and legislatures are eligible for rights for their state.
Sorry, you heard that wrong. It’s “States! Whites!” they were shouting…
When they said states rights, they meant “people of stature”.
Trump is a terrorist
I’m waiting to see him elected and some kind of action on his promises before I get excited. This just feels so much like 2008, when we had a young, handsome, charismatic man running for president also making extravagant promises. (Who then ruled as a conservative and a warmonger.)
Words aren’t enough. I need to see some action.
My stepmom always said actions before words. I too will not get excited. Because even if he is for real. I have no faith that both parties aren’t going rat fuck him out of that election. Lets wait and see.
If he doesn’t turn into a craven lickspittle to power the Zionists will finish him off one way or the other. That’s what happened to Corbyn.
