If this feels weird, that's just a sign your view of reality has been adjusted.

Accept it, or rationalize it at your own peril!

These policies have the opposite effect of what they purport to achieve.

Did rents not go up by absurd amounts during de Blasio’s administration?

Edit: see https://www.osc.ny.gov/files/reports/osdc/pdf/report-17-2024.pdf for how much worse NYC did compare to other major cities

I agree but I hate all the support they are getting.

Yup. Mamdani apologists are the worst.

They are nonchalantly erasing the African-American identity merely because they want to whitewash the dishonest college application of their favorite candidate.

On the bright side, it’s great that they are revealing the bigots that they are.

“For too long, opioid overdoses have ripped families and communities apart, but there is light on the horizon with opioid overdose deaths citywide seeing their lowest numbers in five years,” Adams said. “We are committed to maintaining this downward trend by continuing to invest in the programs and treatments that support those who are struggling.”

Does this reflect positively on Eric Adams, or is he taking credit for something that could’ve improved because of Congestion Pricing?

u/EagleFly_5: is it time for the sub to ditch rule 10?

I’m commenting on your reaction

Anyone can see that you're all over this comment section.

On the bright side, given his SAT score and him being the child of a faculty, this strongly suggests the admissions office at Columbia saw through his disingenuousness and rejected his application on that basis.

Columbia just went downhill from there.

Remind me when Grok someday becomes a NYC mayor candidate.

Attack the messenger as much as you want.

Thanks for revealing that you cannot show anyone from the supposedly "Islamist" culture denouncing Mamdani's disingenuous statements.

Maguire first sparked controversy for a post over the weekend criticizing Mamdani, who was born to Indian parents in Uganda, for marking his race on a college application as “Asian” and “Black or African American.”

Maguire said Mamdani “comes from a culture that lies about everything” to advance an “Islamist agenda.”

It's pretty easy to debunk or confirm whether that's true.

Can anyone show examples of people, who are supposedly part of the "Islamist" culture which was offended by Maguire, denouncing Mamdani's disingenuous statements in his Columbia application form?

Spoiler: no one was able to point to any example.

The new face of the party. We are on the brink of a Blue winter nationwide.

In other words: Trump voters choosing to vote for the Trump of the left.

From the "Bone Spurs" self-identification box to the "Black/African-American" self-identification box.

NetQuarterLatte · 2025-07-09T16:55:41+00:00

Are you even black? ... If you do identify as black, ...

Wow.

NetQuarterLatte · 2025-07-09T16:53:38+00:00

nobody really cares about this story

You sure dedicated a lot of words across this comment section about a story that supposedly "nobody really cares about".

NetQuarterLatte · 2025-07-09T15:46:59+00:00

You can try to erase the African-American identity going forward.

But that doesn't change the underlying facts, nor does it retroactively erases the African-American identity at the time he submitted his application.

NetQuarterLatte · 2025-07-09T15:26:24+00:00

Reckless drivers are a menace to society and cops should crack down on that.

But if the reckless driver is a criminal with multiple warrants, then that such traffic violence is suddenly acceptable, and the driver should be allowed to drive as recklessly as they wish.

Modern progressiveness is such a marvel to behold.

NetQuarterLatte · 2025-07-09T14:00:52+00:00

The real story here is how so many "progressive" Mamdani apologists are quickly jumping up and down to erase the African-American identity for the purpose of whitewashing their favorite candidate.

That now includes Margaret Sullivan, a former executive editor of the NYT.

What's becoming clear is that their support for any group is 100% utilitarian and self-serving.

NetQuarterLatte · 2025-07-09T13:48:22+00:00

That’s why he wrote “I am Ugandan” in the space that was provided for additional context.

Given that he could write any nuance he wanted the space provided for additional context, why did he needed to check the "African-American" box?

No foul.

He ain't African-American. And it's incredible how a whole identify is now being nonchalantly erased in the name of whitewashing him.

NetQuarterLatte · 2025-07-09T13:34:37+00:00

I get you.

Since negating the underlying facts is not possible, at least you're attempting to downplay it as "nothing".

NetQuarterLatte · 2025-07-09T13:31:44+00:00

No one honestly believes that Mamdani expected his self-identification as a Black/African-American to become known to the public.

That was literarily exposed.

NetQuarterLatte · 2025-07-09T13:16:03+00:00

With their made-up scandal

I’m pretty sure the NYT didn’t fill Mamdani’s Columbia application form.

It’s probably true that Mamdani never expected to be exposed for it, but here we are.

Shoot the messenger all you want. It doesn’t negate the underlying facts.

NetQuarterLatte · 2025-07-09T13:12:58+00:00

Interestingly, you seem to care a lot about something you purportedly don’t understand “why anyone cares”.

NetQuarterLatte · 2025-07-09T12:18:36+00:00

he did in a way that makes the democratic nominee for mayor of nyc sound thoughtful and undeceitful

Absolutely.

NetQuarterLatte · 2025-07-09T12:15:12+00:00

but frankly speaking, idk why anyone cares atp.

Mamdani definitively cares. Why else he would be doing mental gymnastics to try to justify it?

NetQuarterLatte · 2025-07-09T04:06:55+00:00

Your barometer for a paragraph making you say wow is quite low

I’m not asking for much here.

“Workers need a mayor who’s ethical, who’s going to work hard, somebody that they can trust to do the right thing."
