    they’re calling Mamdani an illegal and a jihadist

    Why? Because he’s brown and a Muslim

    I will forever laugh at the dumbass MAGA minorities

    They don’t even like their fellow white people if they’re not MAGA, and u think they fck with u?? U think they actually want u here? LMAO

    black man voting MAGA, meanwhile they think you’re low IQ and lazy, and if u have had any success, u didn’t earn it and it was handed to u…because if there’s anything the history of this country has shown, it’s that those in power are just dying to give opportunity and preferential treatment to black people

    brown dude with a heavy Spanish accent and last name Hernandez voting Trump thinking he’s safe because “he hasn’t committed any crimes”

    [​IMG]

    What crime has Mamdani committed? Highly educated mayoral candidate, and they’re still putting it out there that he needs to be deported. If they think this about Mamdani, what do u think they think of random plebs?

    Vivek Ramaswamy gotta go on Twitter every month trying to convince them he’s American

    What about Kamala policy wise was garbage compared to Trumps policies

    What character wise with Kamala was worse than Trump

    And why is losing democracy and voting in a corrupt autocracy we might never be able to democratically correct in the near future worth supporting the difference in those polices and character differences?

    And if you sit here and tell us with a straight face that Trump is not corrupt and that he’s not a threat to turn America into an autocratic government where elections are at risk then you really have no leg to stand on pointing the finger at other people for gaslighting.

    lol. Kamala had NO polices other than the ones she kept copying Trump. Go read Nate Silvers work. Dont take it from me.

    ALL of these politicians are corrupt. WTF would I care about any politicians character in this political regime? hiliary was a shitbag and you voted for her so obviously you do not care about character either.

    Further, we are not losing democracy. Stop repeating that.

    Trump is a shitbag. Hillary is a shitbag. While I do not view Kamala as a shitbag, she is extremely incompetent for the role of POTUS and a direct continuation of of a Biden administration.

    I voted for Trump for the following reasons:
    Pro energy
    Pro space exploration
    Pro bitcoin/crypto
    Closing the border and removing the worst of the illegals
    Pro AI

    Other than ****ing Jared Issacman for NASA admin, i have no real issues with Trump that hasnt already established.

    The MAGA playbook cant work in NY. It's not Longview, TX. New Yorkers know jews, they know muslims. They've actually seen a gay person before IRL. They'll have to annex other parts of NY and then get Trump to endorse Hilary Clinton for mayor to ensure the big money dynasty keeps thriving.

    I'm not sure that a more outlandish statement than some of the Trump lies that many conservatives here post ad nauseum.

    Yes , other presidents have been shitbags , but the amount of executive power that Trump has been using is quite extreme.

    At the very least , the balance of power within our democracy is shifting .

    There has not been another president who has been so transparently corrupt and used the position for his own financial gain or the benefit of his friends.

    I think things could uglier quickly . ICE is going to get more money than they know what to do with . It's a record percentage of Americans living paycheck to paycheck.

    There is more juice in the system than in a long time for some serious civil disobedience/disruptions / violence

    It could come from the left , it could come. From the right .

    From where I stand , people are ready to go at it .

    And Trump , to me , appears more interested in short term gains than the long term health of the country.

    Our coach is also our GM . Horrible recipe

    Oh it will come from all over, our country is armed - this is going to get ugly - honestly Trump is our Hitler, people hoping he goes away are the Neville Chamberlin's of our country that will need to wake up to save it.

    Many will die before that happens.

    Kamala copied Trump? What policies? The CHIPS Act? Student debt relief? Capping insulin at $35? Trump didn’t do any of that—he tweeted and watched Fox News all day. And citing Nate Silver while completely misrepresenting his work? That’s rich.

    “We’re not losing democracy”—you mean under a guy who’s now a convicted felon, tried to overturn an election, pushed fake electors, and openly says he’ll be a dictator on day one? Be serious.

    You say “character doesn’t matter” but call Hillary and Kamala “shitbags” while excusing a man who incited a coup, hoarded classified docs, praised dictators, and rambles about sharks and dishwashers like a drunk uncle on Facebook.

    Your reasons for voting Trump?

    • “Pro-energy”? He gutted climate protections while disasters got worse.

    • “Pro-space”? He repeatedly tried to slash NASA’s budget, kill science missions, and now even Elon Musk openly criticizes him—there’s no partnership or support there anymore.

    • “Pro-crypto”? The crypto crash unfolded under Trump-era lax oversight, and he barely understands the technology.

    • “Pro-AI”? Trump thinks AI is a threat to his approval ratings, not a policy priority. Crypto is also just shitty in general.

    • “Closed the border”? Border crossings hit record highs under him—his signature wall was mostly symbolic and ineffective.
    Look, if you want to cosplay as a contrarian thinker, fine. But don’t mistake political apathy and moral relativism for depth. You’re not making a bold stand—you’re just excusing authoritarianism because you like Bitcoin and spaceships.

    You need to grow up.

    I say let him rock. If New Yorkers like his politics, then vote him in. You or I could've beat Cuomo. I am curious to see which endorsements he picks up. I wouldn't exactly say that New York is a bellwether though. Those folks are different.

    I agree, NY voters voted for him, so lets him give it a shot, now we have seen some voters come to regret their vote but that's what elections are for...............Cuomo was a sleaze ball politician and Adams is the same.

    NY is a true melting pot of people and I for one hope he is a breath of fresh air. He is getting drilled by D`s, R`s and the WH so we shall see how he does, its going to be interesting for sure

    ... Meanwhile Mamdani took a spot away from a black American at Columbia because he lied and said he was black on his application... Big yikes.

    Mamdani did not get into Columbia, therefore he did not take away a spot from anyone.

    You straight up dont know what you are talking about.
