    You don't care like @El_Conquistador doesn't care about the falling apart liberal bastion he has apparently thoroughly analyzed as evidenced by his posts in this thread

    Or do you really not care?

    I really don't care who the mayor is in any city other than Houston. But, it would be great to see less MAGA Republicans in any office of the country. Lapdog loyalists serve Trump first and foremost, and the men have no balls whatsoever when it comess to standing up against any wrongdoings or retribution against blue states.

    I get it, I know you don't care but it's funny how the conservatives obviously do care what happens in NYC

    They just echo whatever Trump says. Whoever Trump hates they hate. I don't trust any MAGA Lapdogs, so like I said, I'm happy when they don't win votes. That's all I care about.

    Mamdani has previously advocated for but has not made central parts of his campaign.

    During his campaign, Mamdani attempted to justify the use of the phrase "globalize the intifada" and stayed firm in his support for the Palestinian-led Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions effort against Israel, calling it a "legitimate movement."

    He has previously called to defund the New York Police Department, though he has since stated that "police have a critical role to play." Following the death of George Floyd, Mamdani tweeted on June 8, 2020, that he did not want to reform the police but asserted, "We want to defund the police."

    In 2020, Mamdani also called for the prison system to be dismantled,

    this is verifiable - this dude is a complete loon

    If all of this is true, he's going to make an even better foil for the Maga chuds than I expected.

    Two special types of idiots that absolutely deserve each other.

    State run grocery stores.

    Globalize the Intifada.

    Defund the police.

    Dude is going to wreck NYC like Dems have wrecked San Francisco.

    "free childcare, free transportation" any number of "free" services [read: huge tax raises]

    He will provide tremendous ammunition for conservatives if/when he is elected and tries to actually govern with these principles in mind.

    A sea of homeless people, human **** and needles on the sidewalk, people walking into stores grabbing whatever they want, stores closing, cost of living is insane, services are poor or unreliable, taxes are high...

    Homeless people move to warm weather climates.

    The cost of living is evidence of wealthy people wanting to be there

    Well that's one way to look at a list of 8 things and address 2 that you think are the easiest to push back on.

    Wealthy people want to be in SF because there are jobs there and because it's located on the coast, with a beautiful climate and fantastic natural features.

    They stay in spite of the crime,homelessness, store closures, shoplifting, human **** and needles on the sidewalks, cost of living, high taxes, poor services.

    The excellent governance and maintenance of the city is NOT a reason people are living in SF.

    Despite tinman's kalifornia obsession, San Francisco is seeing significant decreases in crime.

    I'm supposed to respond to anecdotal evidence. A store omg. So are there less stores in San Francisco than some mythical point in time?
