It’s so funny to see people who have never lived in a place, and openly do not like visiting a place, bemoaning the choice leadership of the people who actually live in a place, insisting that they should not be able to make that choice. That somehow, someone totally alienated from that community knows better who should run it.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

That feels on brand for conservatives
Zohran is definitely doing something right. Pissing off MAGA and the DNC sounds like just the ticket
I’ll put $1 USD on him having some kind of ICE issue within 30 days of taking office.
Andy Ogle (R-TN), of ‘had his cell phone seized by the fbi shortly before the election in relation to $320k campaign filing disclosure discrepancies that magically disappeared with the new admin’ fame, has already pushed to have him denaturalized. I’m not linking to racist trash, but you can look it up or I’m sure it’ll be on Lemmy.
I’m guessing you won’t be taking my bet hehe
I'll put $2 that he'll have an ICE issue in the next 30 days.
Oh shit, not even gonna get in office? Wanna double down on 14 days? ;)
Me too, but he has a security detail now so he should be able to manage. Hopefully.
they are already labeling him a communist so they can expel him on ancient, unused federal laws.
Security provided by whom?
Apparently the Dem candidate gets NYPD bodyguards and he also hired private security.
He needs protection from the NYPD. He ought to hire a bunch of strapped queens.

How much is that in MELANIA coins? I have trouble remembering what a dollar is worth since our Dear Leader took power and prices have being going up.
I’m holding out for Barron Coins.
You think they'll wait until after the election?
"Enters"? You mean they weren't already in racist meltdown mode?
Meltdown is MSM's new Slam. Everyone is slamming someone else. MAGA is melting down about everything. When are they not melting down?
Exactly. They're constantly whining about something.
There is no meltdown. MAGA was always a fully molten racist melting pot. Remember Tony Hinchcliffe?
At least he didn't eat any Grey Poupon
Yet.

Well, indeed. Let the voters decide, that's their job. Good luck convincing them that Mamdani's ideas are somehow "bad" for them.

fox news has been poisoning the minds of middle america for over 30 years successfully achieving exactly this.
