I don't know of any single person who actually use threads, write the fucking thing yourself and don't give them ads. Stop upvoting this format.

What if it's a start of sneaky movement to enrich resellers via subsidized grocery stores?

[–] 6stringringer@lemmy.zip 1 points 51 minutes ago (1 children)

Now this. Right here this type of commie ploy to help those at an economic disadvantage have access to the same robust resources they toil & are taxed upon. Aww hell naw. They need to suffer and pay more.

This is satire btw.

[–] BlackLaZoR@lemmy.world 1 points 27 minutes ago

You missed the point. Mamdani failed to answer how to solve this problem.

[–] osanna@lemmy.vg 5 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Eww. Helping others less fortunate? Wut???

[–] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 2 points 2 hours ago

Especially helping the wrong kind of people!

I'm still haunted by the realization that conservatives want hierarchy. They want underclasses. Even when they're not the top! They don't want free health care because then the wrong sort of people will get it!

They're bad people! It's not about "cost" or market efficiency or anything else they say.

[–] underscores@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 hour ago

This is why when people post anti-right wing messages they don't realize it's not the right angle

Wrong angle: they only want the top class to access health care

Right angle: most Americans cannot afford to see doctors

This is because they read the message and think "hell yeah fuck em [derogatory word]s"

To address far right people. You ALWAYS have to frame it in a way where it's about THEMSELVES.

It's the same thing with anti-left wing messages. You'll see fox News going "antifa wants more of our tax dollars to feed children". It's like ....hell yeah.

20% are predisposed to this kind of thinking and they make up the bulk of fascists.

Yeah, well you see, they are in the middle of said hierarchy , they are happy being in the middle of the hierarchy, they just don’t anyone else to climb the ranks

It's just a flesh wound.

I will not be shortarmedshamed here 🦖

[–] human@slrpnk.net 19 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

My tax dollars better not be wasted on helping people. /s

Unironically this.

[–] elevenbones@sh.itjust.works 18 points 6 hours ago

Oh the humanity!!

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 hours ago

Make wise political choices but don't heroicize a politician, this universally leads to disappointment.

[–] trashboat@piefed.social 4 points 6 hours ago

“Soon to be”

Let’s not be hasty here…

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

It's not exactly a secret when the DNC chair said a year ago when Mamdani won his primary that we need more progressive charismatic candidates like him...

Like, it's only sneaky if you get all your news from social media or billionaire owned corporations.

Otherwise is blatantly obvious this has been the strategy

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 2 points 6 hours ago

Pretty sure AOC was the start.
