Smearing shit on the walls before Mamdani comes to clean house of these corporate anti-worker puppets

"NYC Mayor Eric Adams vetoes bill guaranteeing workers to staff grocery stores"

Hope they enjoy the fruits of their labor, and the flies, and mold, and boxes everywhere...

Why did people vote this guy in again? It can't be because he ran on a campaign of hatred of his citizens

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 22 points 12 hours ago

The Democrats wanted to push a right wing cop so they could act like they are 'tough on crime"or some bullshit.

Strong support from black churches in NYC. You know how the religious fall in line when the church tells them to do something?

Adams is trash. No one I know (here in NYC) voted for him or even likes him, but I hang out in pretty left wing circles.

[–] derin@lemmy.beru.co 13 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

I voted for him, and regret it so much. I was a true dingus. I'm on the Mamdani bandwagon, now.

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 7 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Can you share what lead you to support Adams, and what changed your mind?

[–] derin@lemmy.beru.co 7 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Was new to the city, had a bunch of liberal friends who lived in Harlem that supported him and waxed poetic about his potential. The ex-cop thing was seen as a boon, at that point.

Things started going down hill real fast in my eyes when the whole Turkish airlines scandal broke.

In retrospect I should have listened to my other liberal friends who warned me against him. There's a lot of regret, on my part.

Well, there's no going back and changing the past, so the best you can do is learn. Glad you've come around!

[–] iconic_admin@lemmy.world 21 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

This is why Mamdani I is going to win.

God I hope so

One more example that our "labor" party is anti-labor and pro-business; awful pay and the worst benefits of the first world, even eastern Europe has more benefits.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 12 points 9 hours ago

It's more that Mayor Eric Adams is a Trump-compromised piece of horseshit.

[–] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 12 points 13 hours ago

We can't have these poor people making money. /s
