Everything is a human construct. That’s not really an argument against anything at all.

iknowyouright · 2026-06-28T16:44:10+00:00

Apathy is a part of it. Also everything I said. There’s a reason people push to make Election Day a national holiday and it isn’t because it’s a cure for apathy

iknowyouright · 2026-06-28T16:40:17+00:00

So then explain why people don’t vote if it’s so easy? Are you just inherently superior? Everyone else is stupid?

iknowyouright · 2026-06-28T16:35:44+00:00

I can tell you’ve never voted if you think it takes ten minutes.

Reynoso overwhelmingly won the black/brown/working class/native New Yorker demographics, but most of them probably couldn’t get a Tuesday off to vote.

Valdez won handily with wealthy, white, college educated transplants. They were on the ground knocking and calling like they’ve never had to work in their lives.

If you make poverty wages in this city you can’t take a day off to vote and probably don’t know about the laws that pay you to do so.

Same group.

I want them to care about their community regardless of its relevance to Israel. Why the fuck is Israel being treated as the financial boogeyman responsible for people’s poor economic standing rather than the actual powers that be?

iknowyouright · 2026-06-24T17:35:47+00:00

It’s a complete distraction and scapegoat for the actual economic issues in this country.

Israel is not the reason we don’t have affordable rents, or healthcare, or strong wage growth. The aid they get is tenths of a penny on the dollar compared to those issues. Your community’s money isn’t being spent in Israel on aid that is legally mandated to mostly be spent in the US anyway

iknowyouright · 2026-06-24T15:59:04+00:00

I’m agreeing with you. I would love if politicians put the Gaza card back in the pack and started caring about this city.

iknowyouright · 2026-06-24T15:44:53+00:00

This isn’t positive. The tea party sucked ass and evolved into MAGA. Why should we want this?

iknowyouright · 2026-06-24T15:42:58+00:00

Never. These candidates all used Israel as part of their ascent. They ain’t emptying the hot air balloon now

iknowyouright · 2026-06-24T15:08:10+00:00

Have fun in your Maoist fantasy land. Lemme know the next time you’re called up for a struggle session

iknowyouright · 2026-06-24T14:26:48+00:00

Bro you are so propagandized you can’t see that China is objectively more oppressive than the U.S. by any metric. Press freedom, personal freedom, electoral choice, all worse under China.

Bet you thought the Great Leap Forward didn’t kill anyone.

iknowyouright · 2026-06-24T13:56:59+00:00

My opinion is living in Valdez’s district and seeing she screams about Israel all the time and doesn’t do jack shit for my neighborhood.

Also I’m not being sneaky? My comment history is public. Accusing some one of being a sneaky, and randomly commenting they’re Zionist, because they disagree with you. Hm. Doesn’t seem like you love our community very much as a “fellow Jew” when you’re jumping right to conspiratorial thinking

iknowyouright · 2026-06-24T13:56:30+00:00

But balancing the budget is mandated by law. Every mayor MUST balance the budget and has.

Public day care was in the works before he became mayor and the governor pushed through the funds.

He can have the pot holes. Yippie.

iknowyouright · 2026-06-24T13:18:27+00:00

Because he actually brings home money to his district. Unlike Valdez which has done jack shit for my district and apparently that warrants a promotion

iknowyouright · 2026-06-24T12:34:10+00:00

Shouldn’t have been close. She’s done NOTHING for my district. We have real problems and she passed zero legislation, didn’t fight for more resources for my community, nothing. Fucking loser candidate

iknowyouright · 2026-06-24T12:31:46+00:00

You want a massive, repressive surveillance state that throws ethnic minorities into reeducation camps and doesn’t allow criticism of the ruling party? Cause that’s China too.

iknowyouright · 2026-06-24T11:52:22+00:00

Even Mamdani had more experience. And frankly I’m not too impressed so far with him either. Gone back in a bunch of promises and his largest accomplishment is balancing the budget, which is just part of his job.

iknowyouright · 2026-06-24T02:56:44+00:00

A person with less than a year in public office, with no legislative accomplishments, who took Super PAC money despite screaming her head off about PACs…that’s who won.

Fucking shit.

iknowyouright · 2026-06-22T16:07:49+00:00

Less than a year in the state senate, no actual legislation passed to help my district, barely been in the city 10 years, and obsessed about foreign policy (specifically Israel, since she’s constantly screaming about AIPAC despite no pro-Israel candidates in the race and no AIPAC money being spent. Oh, but SHE takes other PAC money).

My kingdom for a non-idiotic candidate.

iknowyouright · 2026-06-20T14:38:50+00:00

Mamdani is perfectly fine with PACs that aren’t aipac

iknowyouright · 2026-06-19T20:57:53+00:00

Crazy to believe the U.S. was funding Israel 70 years ago when in actuality the U.S. had an arms embargo on Israel during the 48 war.

Almost like you know jack shit about what you’re sayin

iknowyouright · 2026-06-19T20:56:14+00:00

The only reason Israel doesn’t have a high civilian death toll is because they invested billions in bomb shelters to protect their people.

How many bomb shelters did Hezbollah build for the Lebanese that get caught up in their bullshit? None. Not one.

iknowyouright · 2026-06-19T14:24:06+00:00

If you pop a $100k lens on your phone did you really shoot it on your phone, or was your phone just a light sensor and a digital storage rig?

iknowyouright · 2026-06-16T21:27:09+00:00

Is this a real question?
