Hi, Clevelander here. I have no horse in this race, but thanks for making Mamdani go from being completely unheard of from me, to now a household name due to the Streisand effect.

Thanks for letting me know who I'm voting for in 2028.

He can't run, he's naturalised. Bullshit rule.

[–] meyotch@slrpnk.net 59 points 1 day ago (2 children)

He can totally run against Trump for his third term. If Orange Chicken tries that, there are no rules anymore anyhow.

[–] parody@lemmings.world 41 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Supreme Court’s got baby don’s flaccid chode down their throats, so no rules for him but others unfortunately…

Fox News ironically being the source to learn about your new social democrats

lol more like NYC stop funding the federal government. They give more than receive.

[–] Taldan@lemmy.world 39 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I agree with the sentiment, but it's individuals and businesses paying the federal taxes in NYC. You'd have to somehow get them all to agree to put their personal freedoms at risk by not paying their federal taxes

Donald Trump knows he faces no personal risk by withholding funding, because the SCOTUS has declared him immune. He can break any law with impunity

So, NYC gets about $100B in federal funds annually. I wonder how much they pay in taxes to the federal government. I'd bet they pay more than they get.

[–] brandon@piefed.social 41 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The problem is that federal income taxes are generally paid directly by employers to the federal government. It's not clear by what mechanism states and/or cities might withhold them.

It's true that the State of New York, and NYC are both large employers, so hypothetically I guess they could refuse to collect income taxes from their employees on behalf of the federal government, but certainly the IRS would still hold the individual taxpayers responsible for those taxes at the end of the year.

[–] bassomitron@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If it gets to the point where the States are withholding money from the federal government, I'd wager it's because they no longer view the federal government as legitimate. I guess, good luck to the IRS trying to collect?

[–] Taldan@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (5 children)

What would stop the IRS from sending federal agents arresting people on the streets? We've already seen ICE doing it without badges, uniforms, or warrants

This is the problem with a dictatorship. They have too much power. They can do whatever they want

B...but the Republicans PROMISED that they wouldn't touch medicare or social security.

Are you saying they lied?

Are you saying conservatives are liars?

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 55 points 1 day ago (5 children)

As a New Yorker I would like to see that orange fascist try. I can almost guarantee that if Zohran organizes a workers militia today itll have tens of thousands of volunteers tomorrow. I myself would happily throw arms with federal pigs.

New York should just become Southern Ontario

[–] gatohaus@eviltoast.org 14 points 1 day ago

Sounds good to me!

NY was the eleventh state in the US. We’d become the eleventh province of Canada, nice!

Trump can suck a dick. Lousy bastard has got megalomania so bad it would be a worldwide disservice to allow him to continue

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 17 points 9 hours ago

Any state or local gov that is cut off from federal funds without a legal basis shouldn't have to pay federal taxes.

trump is white supremacist extremist pornography.

New York state should require anyone wanting to consume media of Trump online should have to give NY state two pieces of ID and wait for NY to verify them being ovr 21 or be blocked.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 13 points 8 hours ago

That's called fascism.

Time for the wealthy blue states to break away.

You don't bite the hand that feeds.

Insurrectionist traitors who should have been impeached, fired, and sent to federal prison don't get to tell anyone how to behave. New York pays more into federal taxes than it receives, if Trump wants to kill Blue State programs he's about to learn where the tax money comes from.

Cool, maybe we'll stop giving charity to all the red states then. NY can be self sufficient. Shit hole red states can't.

[–] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 8 points 1 day ago

I recommend New York stop paying taxes to the federal government.
