Commie Mandami and the 2028 Election

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
This thread and the fear mongering are unreal. Blade do yourself a favor, log off YouTube and go touch some grass.
I think blade is trolling everyone. Like how democrats were fear mongering that Trump would be king and start going after everyone who had wronged him.

Nothing to fear about with the new commie nyc leader.
 
I recognized the passing of the Big Beautiful Bill did nothing to help the poor or middle class. The Bill increased the deficit without addressing the problems this nation faces today. Did I benefit from this Bill personally? Yes. Do I think this Bill should have become law? No. But do I agree with you that Mamdani is the solution to our problems? No. My concern is that the next Democrat Presidential nominee will be too far left like Newsom or AOC instead of Shapiro/Beshear who would represent mainstream America much better. I believe the election of Mamdani will push the Dem Party much too far to the left making the nomination of a moderate Dem more unlikely.

You have such a low understanding of New York and NYC politics and it shows. It is frankly a brutal place to be a politician because of all the different groups and factions you have to appeal to. Statewide, it’s even harder. You have the ethnic groups in NYC, the rich old money of LI and Westchester, the pockets of hippies surrounded by a sea of deep red MAGA country in upstate. The national fear-mongering surrounding Mamdani’s election shows a complete, mind-bogglingly lack of understanding of the region and makes you look foolish. You really should stop the commentary on the topic because your ignorance is on full display. There is a zero percent chance that communism will flourish in a place like NYC.

Agree. But his policies have a chance of turning the city into a ****hole.
 
Aoc Christian Latin commie
Bernie’s Jewish commie
Now we got Muslim commie

I saw that in a insta meme pair.
FTFY. Lets not exclude the Christians from being commies.

8.5 million live in NYC. 3 times as many republicans are bothered by this. Weird fetish over a brown dude.
Yeah I am not sure why people in BFE MAGA towns are circlejerking each other over a city's mayor that has no bearing on their livelihood.

Lol trump and company are now trying to push for a 50 year mortgage and yet zohran the communist is the one ruining the country.

LOL most of the families utilizing those will be in the red states.

Right. 50 year mortgages and 2k tariff rebate to non-high income Americans is completely fine, but Zohran….
 
Amazon explained it to the the media why they went to northern Virginia. The politics didn’t help New York. The dc area also has the most educated talent pool of masters degree workers as well and way more tech friendly.
I think what he's getting at is, how did it turn out? Like, was it a net gain for the community where it landed, or was it more like a few jobs, a lot of fluff, some non-union construction contracts, and after all the tax-increment-financing losses, actually a net loss, financially, for the region?

Because it kind of sounds like you're saying that democrat politicians cost the NYC region an Amazon HQ and that's bad, but I'm not sure that all of these "we're gonna build here and it'll be great for the community" promises actually bear out. #foxxconn

NYC lost a ton in tax revenue the early part of this 2020 decade. As in life. A lot of variables to explain. People migrating out of the area (some of it due to Covid), other other job opportunities elsewhere.

Did lost of Amazon east coast headquarters hurt nyc? It’s impossible to correlate since covid happen. And New York being the epicenter of financial centers can keep reinventing itself.

It has rebounded the last 2 years primary with new immigrants moving into the city

You've said this 100 times, and for some reason, every time you do, I'm still surprised someone could be such a callous cynical dingus.

Just bring more hamas into nyc to be with comrade new mayor of New York.
What on earth are you going on about?

People are freaking out for no reason. Communists taking over New York.

King Trump taking over. It’s just non sense world we live in.
 
What I am scared about is that people in Kentucky were upset that the polls weren’t open… of course Kentucky didn’t have elections this year…. Some people were apparently dismayed that they, as Kentuckians, couldn’t vote for mayor in NYC or governor in Virginia. This level of stupidity is truly alarming…. And here’s the thing… there’s more of them than there are us… us being people who think skeptically, consider each issue and the nuances associated… the idiocy and lack of accountability is ruining this country… most of the people out there are stupid
 
I posted single people should be able to marry their dogs to get tax benefits of marriage.
And still you wonder why nobody believes your fake posts about salaries, your jobs and "friends"?

Anyone who knows me personally knows I’m not lying especially jobs and pay.

Unfortunately you are living in the old world how much money is flying around in the anesthesia world. It’s like my brother (whose private practice he managed got absorbed by the hospital). He was old school like u. That mentality to run the practice and loyalty to the practice and also the exclusively to one hospital.

Once he went hourly. It’s like damn. Where did all this money from. Now his time is his time. And he’s getting paid for it.

I didn’t know myself until 2021 what the true market was.

You can go ahead and believe my “fake” income posts. One of the docs on this board just raped the same ASC I covered from time to time last Thursday last minute coverage. The work is endless out there once u start networking

And most of my posts are based on principals. Whether you agree with them or not.

Many people consider their pets as “family” bringing them on airplanes , hotels (emotional support). They even kicked a first class passenger off the plane because another first class passenger had a dog in first class as an emotional support animal. The one who got kicked off the plane (he claimed dog hair allergy) and was only offer to move back 2-3 rows and he said the other guy with the dog needed to move back more than 6 rows. (American Airlines 2019). The airplane gave him two choices. Move to the back of the plane. Or leave the plane. U can guess how quickly that situation unfolded. The dude ends up getting escorted off the plane because the pilot didn’t feel comfortable. White Pilot said black passenger could be trouble if the plane departed. And he proceeds to sue the airline because the pilot was white and he was a black first class passenger.


And another incident where a woman got upgraded to first class. And than get this. Got downgraded to the main cabin cause they needed to accommodate a service dog for another first class passenger (delta 2024)

It’s this insane acceptance of animals where the airline favors a pet over another human being. All the airlines claim their hands are tied and they have to abide by federal aviation rules.

So if u are treating people with pets just like humans. U might as well let them marry them.

So why not allow single people to marry ur pet for the the tax savings. Especially single people who make like 500k Vs married people who make 500k. That’s around a 20k tax savings.
 
Holy ****, is OP serious with this post? OP, you can’t figure out why younger generations are in favor of democratic socialism? Is it really that hard to figure out with the **** show that has been going on for the last decade or so?
 
Agree. But his policies have a chance of turning the city into a ****hole.

Unlikely much will change. Maybe a few token social services are offered like child care for people making under a certain income or subsidized bus fares. Things like raising taxes and managing the transit services come from the state government. He can freeze rent in rent stabilized apartments. That’s about it. The rest will require cooperation with the state government.

I don’t understand the Mamdani circlejerk and the bizarre fear-mongering (actually, I do understand it). The problem is that it shows real ignorance and a lack of understanding of how things work. The people who are all of a sudden concerned about life in NYC are outing themselves as people highly engaged with right wing media sources.

I’m glad u understand. I’m not worried about the socialist dude.

Just like u guys don’t need to worry about trump. Everyone is fearful he’s gonna to be king or seek a 3rd term. Ain’t gonna to happen. So must circlejerk by left wingers as well.

You have like 100 posts on here talking about commie Mamdani and the mass exodus of the “tax base” from NYC. Carry on with your circlejerk.

Trump is calling for scrapping it though?

Packing the court is fine with me. GOP doesn't play fair so why should we (see texas gerrymandering and California response)

I'd prefer term limits for the supreme court
Idk look at New England. It already seems like it's been pretty gerrymandered
 
Glad the man won. Let the man cook. The people voted. Just like DJT. Let him cook and see what the results are.

I am really interested in the results in 4 years. NYC has gone downhill for tourists since Rudy left. Been there multiple times and doubt I will be visiting NYC anytime soon.

Most people are so ignorant of Right wing, left wing, socialists, moderate, moderate left, moderate right policies. It really doesn't matter what politicians push through, reality never changes.

The rich will be fine and be richer
The poor will be poor no matter what policies
The middle and upper middle class will bear the brunt and continue to get crushed. That includes docs who are making 500K/yr. NYC middle class, get ready to become the poors. upper middle class get ready to assume the middle class position.

Correct. My sentiments as well.
And that’s why I troll most everything regarding politics

Think about what happened in 2008. Both republican bush and than Obama in 2009 bailed the rich out. It wasn’t to save the economy. It was to save the rich. Even Obama knew this.

“A group of Democrats and one Democratic-aligned independent have helped clinch an agreement to end the government shutdown, saying they had secured a vote on the Affordable Care Act subsidies at the center of the standoff”


Boom! and u didn’t think the stalemate ending now was over the democrats insistence on the ACA subsidies.

I can’t believe you were in denial this was what the govt shutdown was over. The enhanced subsidies ending dec 31 2025. This is all a game by the politicians. They will vote on it separately…..later. Make ent American public sweat it a little.

Everyone wins. The govt employees who already took vacation with free PTO/AL days with back pay.

Want is there not to love about American politics.

You always knew they would try to get a deal in place before the holiday season started. Lord knows these Congress people take 2 weeks off at thanksgiving. They don’t want to work either.
 
NYC is a mess. I was just there and it sucked. So expensive, so much traffic, such a waste of time to get anywhere. It was cold.
We ate at nice restaurants but not worth the headache or expense of NY.
The world and the people in it these days make me happy to just stay in my house in my little town in SC (unless I’m flying to Europe or bora bora)

I’m not reading all that.

We’ll see how the Epstein file vote goes. That’s up to Mike Johnson.

I don’t really care about the shutdown, but I think it was a strategic win for the democrats. The Republicans will have to publicly vote on Obamacare subsidies. It’s front and center in the news now. Last article I saw said something like 71% of Americans were concerned about Obamacare subsidies ending. It’s a political third rail for republicans. Beyond that, I couldn’t care any less about the shutdown.

My wife was in NYC this past Spring. She had a great time. Fairly priced, nice hotel, walking distance to Broadway (she saw 2 shows) with great food we can't get in my little SC town. She felt safe the whole time, only complaint was that it was cold and rainy most of her trip.

Every big city has traffic. We went to Paris this summer and London the previous. Big city = bad traffic, that's pretty universal.

Why not just split the difference and approve 50% of the subsidy amount? If your subsidy was over the 400% allowed limit then you get 1/2 of the Biden Pandemic based subsidy bonus. The cliff gets eliminated and the US govt. forks over about 23 billion more towards ACA subsidies than planned in the BBB. The 100% amount was about 45 billion for just 2026 in increased subsidies.

Sorry couldn't resist.
 
You are not seeing the rise of Democrat Socialism as a real force in the USA. Many more younger Democrat Voters are viewing the socialist movement as the future for the Democrat Party. Anyone running for the Democrat nomination for President must get the vote of the Socialist arm of the party.
probably because socialism is more closer to all major religion teachings than capitalism
 
“Massive tax hikes on those making $400K or more, A reduction in the estate tax exemption, Social Security wages being taxed above $250K, massive ACA subsidies vs Medicare for all, a national abortion bill, packing the Supreme Court, an increase in capital gains taxes”

I can live with all this if everyone gets affordable healthcare, SS becomes robust and sustainable, and we balance the budget and avoid a massive debt crisis with runaway inflation that destroys my retirement.

I am skeptical that either party will pay down the debt or balance the budget. One party cuts taxes for the wealthy while the other ratches up social welfare benefits and even creates additional programs but neither balances the budget.
 
Newsom or AOC for 2028 on the Democrat ticket for President. I would think Newsom as President and AOC as V-P to gin up support from the socialists. I don't see the Jewish Governors as having much of a chance from the Dems and Beshear is too Moderate. An outside horse in the race is the Gov. of Maryland, Wes Moore, if he decides to run. Wes Moore vs Newsom would be a tough primary battle. AOC is a Socialist so I am very doubtful she would get the top spot on the ticket even though her base is quite vocal.

I agree.

I do think the bigger gains towards sustainability with debt are on the taxation end vs the relatively small cost of welfare etc.

obviously there is the low tax = economic stimulus argument but I just haven’t seen enough to convince me that lowering taxes is increasing net treasury revenue

We agree that the Big Beautiful Bill was just tax cut pork for the wealthy. I admit Trump threw me a bone like a $15k-$20K tax cut at the expense of actually reducing the deficit and balancing the budget. I expect the Dems and the next Democrat President like Newsom or Wes Moore to increase taxes significantly on those making over $250K. Maybe a 2% increase for those between 250-400 and 4% for the top 2 brackets. I could see even an additional bracket for $1 Million or more at 48% with the $750K bracket at 42% (see the brackets for 2026).

I expect capital gains taxes to increase as well by 2-3% and SS will be "shored up" by restarting FICA at $250K income. All income above $250K will pay full FICA. This leaves a small window $180-$250K where a W-2 employee doesn't pay the SS tax.

I really hope the Dems don't abolish the filibuster or stack the Court (SCOTUS) as that would destabilize our already polarized country.

This signature policy will eventually become law. It is inevitable.


Bernie is correct in that Medicare For all doesn't actually cost more money than our current system. New taxes or increasing the Medicare tax to let's say 10% would generate enough revenue and replace the current private payment system. Of course, most of you all would see a 60-70% reduction in your income once this passes as no specialty would get hit harder than Anesthesiology.

The leadership of the Democratic Party have proven time and time again that they cannot be depended upon to save us. Despite many opportunities to codify Roe v. Wade into law, the Democrats in Washington failed to act. Nor can we rely on our judicial system to guarantee us civil rights. Now more than ever, we need to build a vibrant, militant, majoritarian socialist movement to defeat Republican minority rule, win legislative power, and build a better world that guarantees healthcare as a human right, including the right to free abortions on demand without apology. As the largest socialist organization in the United States, DSA is building that democratic and majoritarian socialist movement.
 

The Green New Deal will destroy the USA through bankruptcy (we are almost there now) and reduction in GDP activity.


At a minimum, the Green New Deal would impose large and recurring costs on Americanhouseholds.3 We conclude that among the 11 states analyzed, the GND would cost a typical household a minimum of $74,287 in the first year of implementation. Among 10 of the states, excluding Alaska at $84,584, the average household burden of the GND in its first year is $75,168. For the subsequent four years, the average annual costs per household for 10 of the 11 states is $47,755, decreasing to $40,706 for ever after. The expenses in Alaska are more than $10,000 more per year per household.

It's not like Dems earned your vote the last time they did it.

You're only one year into your second Trump term and already trying to justify your future Republican vote after a mayoral election didn't go the way you wanted.
 
I just want Trump to pump up the stock market. Stimulus checks coming.

Well, Trump earned his vote 3X.

Why are people afraid to say they don't like the demographic changes in the country?
 
blade - think itll be JD vance for the republicans going up against newsome? i like moderate - andy beshear is very popular in his red state. moderate is good... we need moderate.
again the republicans will probably win again next time by default - because the dems are a clusterf.... i hope its not vance - i couldnt vote for him and dislike the christian nationalist movement.... seperation of church and state is essential.
 
Right. 50 year mortgages and 2k tariff rebate to non-high income Americans is completely fine, but Zohran….
But if his name was Zohan instead of Zohran, the GOP Israel circlejerk would be okay with it.


Glad the man won. Let the man cook. The people voted. Just like DJT. Let him cook and see what the results are.

I am really interested in the results in 4 years. NYC has gone downhill for tourists since Rudy left. Been there multiple times and doubt I will be visiting NYC anytime soon.

The rich will be fine and be richer
The poor will be poor no matter what policies
The middle and upper middle class will bear the brunt and continue to get crushed. That includes docs who are making 500K/yr. NYC middle class, get ready to become the poors. upper middle class get ready to assume the middle class position.
Problem is that the people complaining dont want to let him cook. Theyd much rather eat white bread mayo sandwiches 24/7

Have you been in a cave the last 11 months?

You think that a dramatic increase in healthcare costs will bet the GOP votes?

I have a feeling the dems are playing the healthcare game. Cost will be outrageous. They will turn around and blame republicans during 2026 midterm election. They are sleazy politicians. The voters should not fall for that.

Or just use options on eose stock. My anesthesia buddy is up 3 million today on it and has a 16 million dollar position. It’s freaking crazy. Those are some big balls he’s got going all in.

Bet it all.

That anesthesiologist has some balls. Did not know about that company at all. I just checked and I saw it went up ~250%+ YTD.

Why does that gas doc believe in that company? He/she has already won the game with 16M. Can even fly private why that kind of net worth.

Yes. Blame the Republicans because the Republicans have never passed their own replacement for obamacare, despite constantly running against it and having multiple opportunities to change it

And now the Republicans..who control all 3 branches... completely refuse to fund the subsidies.

But somehow, its not the Republicans fault???
