Spoiler: this is the only thing Mamdani will actually be able to do. The free rent stuff and government supermarkets are never going to happen for a million f*cking reasons. But he WILL be able to ensure the justice system further deteriorates and crime increases. He’ll do this
@baltic_dan I’ve made this point before. All his other ideas will amount to nothing. But he will unleash a massive crime wave, that is within his power
@IlSporcoErnesto Kingpin Mamdani
@baltic_dan The further erosion of a former great American city.... at the hands of its own constituents no less. The possibility of free shit and the love of liberalism in our urban areas hasten their demise.
@baltic_dan Democrats just openly admitting they want more criminals on the street is wild policy. Will it work?
@baltic_dan This is the most preferable outcome. Socialism never even happening, demoralizing socialists, but also making everything worse and convincing the neutral and unconvinced that they need right wing policy. Net win for us.
@baltic_dan He will also be able to accomplish certain primary goals, namely disinvestment from Israel and permitting protests around Brooklyn synagogues, etc
@baltic_dan @grok is there a way to cut off nyc from the rest of the usa?
@baltic_dan The hubris he says it with too. Like a middle school debater.
@baltic_dan @DrewPavlou I hope he wins. Let them try their experiment for all to see.
@baltic_dan When you're in a university tutorial (workgroup - whatever everyone calls it in respective countries) and the 'tutor' sets work to look at a complex organisation and asked you how to improve it. Look at cost. How to reduce cost? Less throughput (prisoners) = less cost. Fixed.
@baltic_dan Rent freezes for stabilized tenants already happened under de Blasio and could happen again. They would be more harmful this time because of higher inflation.
@baltic_dan once shoplifting gets high enough it will probably just make sense to call the stores government-run
@baltic_dan @CaseyganC Agreed! He can’t implement most of his ideas w/out council or legislative support. The grocery stores, which he could do, will be such an obvious failure that he would be insane to do it. Count on lots of committees to study his nutty ideas with little action.
@baltic_dan @pegobry_en They are all wanting to lock down that criminal vote.
@baltic_dan Mamdani is another, in a long line of people who dress Marxist-core operations in political platforms, ideologies, religion, social justice and "current things."
@baltic_dan They're going to be so mad when we take all their crime away.
@baltic_dan @_DNA_GoldenBoy He won’t win. Same reason Daniel Penny got let off. It’s one thing to make things more dangerous with your policy, but another to run on doing that- especially in the current year.
@baltic_dan He actually thinks he is smart. Delusion turned up to 11.
@baltic_dan Correct. And every New Yorker who votes for this crackpot will deserve to suffer for their foolishness. I will only feel sorry for those New Yorkers who are sane enough not to vote for Mamdani.
@baltic_dan Don’t discount his will to at minimum attempt laughably retarded things, despite the obstacles
@baltic_dan @FallOfMercy I mean state government is already doing it so of course he’ll succeed.
@baltic_dan Yep. That's the easiest thing to do, simply withdraw the political machine from giving a fuck and let the state of nature take its course.
@baltic_dan This is the main reason he will be a horrible mayor
@baltic_dan I really hope he gets the government grocery stores in place. They deserve them.
@baltic_dan He must be stopped no matter what
@baltic_dan Trojan horse
@baltic_dan Yeah but that's so easy any black woman could do it.
@baltic_dan i’m sure he’ll find a way to do something retarded around housing too
@baltic_dan Accelerate
@baltic_dan Good. Liberals need to learn, the hard way. I am utterly confident the rest of the country will turn far right (in terms of racial awareness) when they watch what this moron does. @ZohranKMamdani Thank you for your service. 🫡
@baltic_dan Why would he choose this exact moment to make the announcement? The optics are atrocious. Or is that on purpose, as a way of signaling Progressive purity?
@baltic_dan Yup. He will hand more power over to Kalistani mafia. Invite millions more Indian scammers in. All good day for Soros & China. Destabilize financial center of America.
