Zohran Mamdani what is your plan to ban Klay Thompson from NYC???

@A_Wyatt_Man @financedystop hate to break it to you…that’s not rap

@financedystop Notice the rap music

Anyone who drives like this should have their license removed permanently.

New York pride is at dangerous levels right now

@azzilathehun @mhurton @emilderosa you are an adult. you can vote. i’d hope that you are able to vote (whoever the candidate you choose is) based on informed decisions, not by misunderstanding simple government design. pick up a book.

@mer_ci04 @mhurton @dame23time @emilderosa What am I not understanding? please explain.

"He's spending more money against me than I would even tax him." is so fuckin good

@azzilathehun @mhurton @emilderosa 3. like the federal government each of these roles have set responsiblities. the mayor, drafts budgets, signs off on council legislation, appoints heads of departments, manages day-to-day, and is our representative to the rest of the state/country.

@azzilathehun @mhurton @emilderosa 2. NYC govenrment essentially mirrors this design. we vote for city council (the house) and mayor (president). and like federal government, they also make inform decisions on our beluga without direct communication from the public

@azzilathehun @mhurton @emilderosa 1. the US functions under a representative democracy not a direct democracy. we vote for people who we think to be qualified/educated enough to make informed decisions on our behalf — not individual ideas. it’s why congress can have confidential meetings we’re not privy to

@azzilathehun @mhurton @dame23time @emilderosa no i’m just realizing that we really do have a problem with civic knowledge. you don’t understand how NYC government works. you don’t understand what type of government system the US uses. you don’t understand the roles and responsibilities of government structures. it’s sad.

@mhurton @mer_ci04 @dame23time @emilderosa ah yes because she’s too stupid to make her own arguments against someone as dumb as me? damn you’re mean

@azzilathehun @dame23time @mhurton @emilderosa every so often i’m reminded that roughly 60% of Americans are functionally illiterate.

@mer_ci04 @dame23time @mhurton @emilderosa We hire politicians to do our bidding not make decisions on our behalf. Idk we he is speaking as though OUR money (your money assuming you pay taxes) is his right to use as a tool for his personal gain.

@azzilathehun @dame23time @mhurton @emilderosa do you know what the roles/responsibilties of the NYC mayor are? not just the idea of it, but the actual roles and responsibilities.

@mer_ci04 @dame23time @mhurton @emilderosa His job is enacting the will of the people he represents and what it is they decide is best for their city and our country as a collective whole. socialism is trickery.

@azzilathehun @dame23time @mhurton @emilderosa what do you consider “helping our collective whole”. i’d consider free public busses, affordable housing, reliable accesss to fresh and healthy food, to be helping our collective.

Taxed income is your income. You earn it. We allow for our income to be taxed under the expressed assumption it will be used to help our collective whole… not whatever the hell HE wants to do. Politicians are supposed to do our bidding not decide where our money goes for their own personal agenda.

@azzilathehun @dame23time @mhurton @emilderosa now if your issue is 1. you don’t think taxed income should go to certain programs, you can vote for representatives that agree with you. yet that has NOTHING to do with whether or not Mamdani should spend it there. He could, he’s allowed to. it’s in the job description

@mer_ci04 @dame23time @mhurton @emilderosa “by this logic” wtf “logic” are you speaking of that would cause you to make such an inference into my argument? I never said that and you seem to have been failed by your history teachers growing up. Don’t worry, i’m more angry at them than you.

@azzilathehun @dame23time @mhurton @emilderosa no, it’s literally what the job entails for city council and the mayors office. it has nothing to do with political beliefs, it’s just their job.

@mer_ci04 @dame23time @mhurton @emilderosa Yeah when idiots like you keep voting for his “promises.” i

@azzilathehun @dame23time @mhurton @emilderosa by this logic, there should be no taxes in the US, income, property, sale, etc, AT ALL. but thats not how the world works, is it? do you know what taxes are for and how they work?

it’s not up to him to decide what purpose our money is used for. that’s the problem. He’s acting entitled as if he is the dictator of the collective earned wages of an entire population of people. He isn’t. He doesn’t get to decide. WE do. Socialism is a bad idea and he’s a socialist.

@azzilathehun @dame23time @mhurton @emilderosa so by your logic, both mamdani AND cuomo will be paying this tax. i’m confused on what the problem is?

@dame23time @mhurton @emilderosa you purposefully left out the fact that Mamdani was just as rich lol. Like come on. Just have a compelling argument. Why is it so hard?
