    Typical moronic meme of the elitist (at least in their heads) little rightie followers.

    Left/liberals are hypocrites if they have any thing nice or do not give all their material goods and income to the poor. Meanwhile the righties worship billionaire pricks like Trump or MUSH, who lie, steal or go bankrupt while underpaying their help who are not hypocritical as as they have for the most part, except for temporaty monetary or political gain, never claimed to be altruistic or care a hsit about anyone else.

    One is at least based on a plausible legal reason. The other is just a weird leap from you.

    people tell me Trump is a pedophile and a rapist. I'm also told he should be shot for treason. Well before you can shoot him for treason you've got to arrest him and try him for treason. Same for rape and child sexual abuse. Mamdani can be the man who gets it done.

    Those aren't plausible legal reasons.

    Gov. Hochul’s Mamdani endorsement has sent support for Elise Stefanik into overdrive

    https://nypost.com/2025/09/18/us-news/hochuls-mamdani-endorsement-is-a-boon-for-elise-stefanik/

    excerpt:

    Gov. Kathy Hochul’s endorsement of Zohran Mamdani‘s mayoral bid didn’t seem to do much for Mamdani — and it certainly didn’t benefit her — but it sure seems to have helped Rep. Elise Stefanik. The Republican congresswoman, who is preparing to announce her own gubernatorial bid, has received millions in pledges since Sunday, according to insiders.

    “We have hundreds of thousands of donations coming in and millions more pledged” for when she formally enters the race for governor, one source close to Stefanik told NYNext. “And the big donations have been from Democrats.”
    Right now the Democrats don't seem to be doing anything right.

    NY has a lower mortality rate than Florida and one of the lowest mortality rates in the country {NIH link 4 U , can be stratified by age group btw} also latest CDC data (2023) shows New York has a homicide rate of 3.9, and Florida 6.5 {link 4 u}


    Mind virus of dumbness could be the culprit.

    Florida sucks. Outside of a few small pockets, it is just trash. The beach isn’t even all that great and the weather sucks. I guess if you can’t afford California and South Carolina is too old - there is Florida.

    I am not a Yankee, but the New England area, and NYC is superior to Florida.

    I find this county level male life expectancy map to be a pretty good snapshot of quality of life across america.

    So all grey area of the map is <77??

    Probably a decent enough proxy, but quantity <> quality, especially here in the US, where the focus is on extending life and much less on a holistic approach to living.

    Yes they black/grey is under 77 - for men

    Im not saying people in areas with lower life expectancies are guaranteed to be living less fulfilled lives, but generally when people are doing well economically, mentally, physically, they live longer.

    Interesting how you present an opinion as an empirical fact, completely disregarding everyone's needs and desires.

    Yes, 5 months with an average dew point of 75 sucks. But so does the constant dreary freezing temperature.
    All states have good areas and bad areas. The mountains are beautiful and peaceful, but remote life is isolating and depressing. Big cities tend to have great food and entertainment, but the traffic and crime sucks.

    Maybe be a little less judgey (leave that up to me) and accepting of others opinions. I have very little desire to visit NYC, much less live there, however there are millions who love it. Good for them! I prefer warm temp and the water. Good for me. If you don't like FL, don't visit.

    It is just my opinion - I didn't bring any empirical evidence, so I thought that was clear, but I was mistaken.

    As for crime - I would feel safer in NYC than a lot of places in Florida, but to each their own.

    I personally prefer the ocean, mild to warm climate - so the weather in NYC isn't really a major selling point to me. I just personally do not think that Florida is really that great, outside of a few areas.

    I think we can almost all agree (except for OS)
