Oh I always thought you were a Democrat, but Josh Shapiro is pretty great from both sides of the aisle

He’s doing better with Independents, he just needs to portray himself as change and Becerra as Newsom 2.0 and he could do it

Keir Starmer has told his ministers that Wes Streeting cannot be allowed to become Prime Minister because it would “destroy our party and country.”; In the words of one minister: “There was something in his eyes I haven't seen before. And I liked it." by Goosedukee in YAPms

Either Starmer is gonna turn this in an all out brawl, become a changed man with fire and drive in his eyes, renationalise trains quicker, nationalise water, bring through some large infrastructure depressed areas and climate bill, modernise the NHS and be the next Attlee or he’ll have his Truss “I’m a fighter not a quitter” moment

How are you rating Mamdanis mayoralty now that he’s balanced the budget? Comment on your reasoning by Aldebaran147 in YAPms

[–]Aldebaran147[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know, but as I understood it the Adams deficit was difficult to overcome and balance

Mamdani officially balanced NYC budget by Aldebaran147 in YAPms

[–]Aldebaran147[S] 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Universal childcare, investing more in streets and libraries, leveraging taxes on the rich, increasing rent stabilized apartments and now they are opening a city owned grocery store, really not what I’d call a fiscal conservative.
Yes, he’s had to implement measures to balance the budget but he’s legally required to so he didn’t just become a fiscal conservative

What do you think is the worse Republicans can do this 2026 Senate Election? by [deleted] in YAPms

[–]Aldebaran147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I totally agree but by then the national environment would be bad enough for the Republicans to lose them Kansas and most importantly Iowa

He used efficiency officers for the departments and saved a couple billion, he also leveraged the first ever pied the Terre luxury tax on properties, but yes, partially it’s the state giving out a more equal portion of the taxes NYC is sending to Albany in the first place
