The corporate Dems will unite behind closed doors with the Replutocrats and they will still lose. The Reich Wing is already planning national campaign lies to use against Mamdani & NYC.
Damn it, this'll be stuck in my head now 🤣
Praying for the funniest gas leak of all time
you're really putting it all together here, and certainly going to be an uphill battle. Ackman was joined by doordash and other corps when they got all Cuomotional™️. These weird political 'thinktanks' are just banks. funding their own future, not mine nor yours, nor many businesses either. Fascism
Wild how committed they are to Better Things Aren't Possible even when that position has been soundly rejected by actual voters.
Crazy how this charmer didn’t want to sign his name to the quote of it’s all so obviously toxic.
Are these the “politically toxic positions,” I wonder? bsky.app/profile/just...
ah yes, the dastardly islamist plan to *checks notes* make buses free. clearly we're doomed
The fact that these degenerate Dem Strategist pricks are still speaking to Bill Ackman is such an indictment.
Insane like "it's fine we wealthy should be the only set able to afford rent" insane? Or insane like "if the market wont put a grocery where needed we'll put in a city coop" insane...bc i definitely will prefer the latter
bill ackman: guys, i think the law says a muslim can't be new york city mayor
lawrence summers: guys, please, the invisible hand will provide, don't cut rents please please please
Since when is winning a primary called an “anointment?”
The voters voted, there was no DNC role in the primary and certainly no anointment occurred. How utterly ridiculous.
"free from prejudice, market economy" ffs.
Hey what happened in the last labour election remind mr
dime-a-dozen campus zionist: save me eric adams, eric adams save me
@dov.bsky.social look the mamdani-haters are coming for the SNP isn't it nefarious that people notice usamerican politics?! (also, "islamist"?!?!)
Criminal mayor, Eric Adams
shai davidai is begging you, please, call the cops on the undergraduate newspaper for endorsing zohran
Is that even how that works?
soooooo neo-moses will part the hudson river so he and his buddies can escape to new jersey? or what is this analogy supposed to tell me
This is so cringe - it’s a damn primary
"we" got through the Pharaoh. Slow down, Savannah
dime-a-dozen campus zionist realizing that zohran's nypd may not be unleashed upon his classmates
daniel loeb threatens us with a good time by changing his profile pic to 'escape from new york' (loeb has funded the marshall project and the brennan center)
I think he should be able to safely escape with his $3.5 billion.
"NYC's business community appears to be abandoning its grudging support for former Governor Andrew Cuomo and organizing more desperately around Mayor Eric Adams in a last ditch effort to block Mamdani in November’s general election." (Story worth reading) www.semafor.com/article/06/2...
he will be gunning for the Kahanist votes
The corrupt grifters circling the wagons around anyone they can prop up as a savior figure no matter how soundly the voters rejected him before.
Good let them waste their money. I’ll enjoy every second of that.
the presidential crashout has arrived. you can tell donald is struggling with the news: "he looks TERRIBLE, his voice is grating"
lmfao
I think the funniest part is calling Curtis Sliwa a “gadfly”
LOL FkSemafor
You can tell he's a good mayor and a good candidate because of all the desperate, last-minute support he's getting.
LOL
Lol, throw your support behind the mayor with single digit approval ratings.
Time to unleash the money bombs for Mamdani!
wow, just pouring money in a campaign works! scandals schmandals, that’s all nonsense!
Go ahead, throw your money away dummies
Bankers v The People? Wonder how this will play out. Will the Democratic Party wake up?
Pathetic
Fuck. These. Assholes🤬🤬🤬
WHO GAVE @notalawyer.bsky.social A MONKEY’S PAW???
So they'll have a republican mayor. You happy now, asshole?
Yes. Please, please keep doing this plutocrats. It'll work this time. The problem is you didn't spend enough money on Cuomo.
Reeling in horror from the results of a free and fair primary election, the wealthy plot to re-install the despised current mayor
That corrupt mfer needs to resign
That is like ditching a lame horse for a paraplegic horse.
I love this shit. According to them, the NYC mayor is the most powerful person on the planet. 😂
How DARE he appropriate Snake Plissken 🐍 That man is not a capitalist!
Too bad. The Brennan Center can be very helpful. These people may be in a group chat together & working each other into a bit of a lather. They need to get out (starting tomorrow) and touch some grass. There's plenty of parks in NYC they can use, thanks to progressives like Mamdani.
why aren't these people too hot to post like this
some of them are straightup nowhere near this heatwave (but to be fair neither am i lol)
i would suggest anyone escaping from ny throw on sadat x and pete rock youtu.be/z8XBnbEtXxY?...
lmfao i wonder if snake plissken would like his fuckin ass
he'll be happy to know that the nypd doesn't answer to the mayor of NYC they answer to the mayor of telaviv.
do they think the mayor has the power to magically make the police leftists
They don’t think
I like how graffiti is violent occupation of a building. Oh no, easily repairable defacement.
he’s not even American!
This is some really racist shit.
Yeah I wish I could find these crashouts funnier but I just get a shiver down my spine
Move back to Israel you little shit weasel
Guy is legit psychotic
I also hope they survive free buses and city-run grocery stores. That’s the goal. To increase quality of life for everyone.
Maybe he'll run on a zionist platform and it'll be the most unhinged campaign ever
Tell Old, Zohran, Let my people go.
I can't take any more of this jewish nonsense
What pharaoh did this guy get through? He couldn’t even figure out how to use his access card at his job that he’d been at for years.
When will Zohran denounce Nebuchadnezzar?
Got through Pharoah! LOL.
It's beautiful, my heart overflows with joy
What the fuck, these Jews that cannot see the forest for the trees. I am so ashamed of my fellow Jews, that don't understand what "never again" actually means.
Pharaoh? Who wants to tell him that shit never happened?
OMG, it's been like decades and I can still hear his laugh.
It's amusing that they are quoting the Exodus, since there is no historical evidence of it happening. Religious propaganda, evergreen for thousands of years. Moreover, ICE must be abolished.
tbh i'm not actually sure we got thru pharaoh; every single member of that generation had to die in the desert basically except joshua for doing the equivalent of extreme doomposting
I guess our paths diverged somewhere after getting through wooly mammoth.
Jfc
Who is "we", Shai? He would have cried and written long scrolls about it.
oh man the posting through it scale just keeps growing exponentially by the day
This warms my heart. SD is one of very few people whose cornflakes I would happily piss in for the rest of my days. Wretched individual.
The constant victim complex is so completely infuriating. Imagine if Americans said “ok guys, we got thru British rule, well survive this latest insult”, 😂😂😂
PHAROAH 😜 I did not have that on my bingo card
Right!!!!!?!
Not the pharaoh 😫😫😫😫
Wait, what? Is that even a thing? You’re telling me that no student newspaper has ever endorsed a political candidate before?
Are they part of the Canary Mission? Sounds like it.
lol that’s rich coming from a Zionist extremist
In 1972, IRS Rev. Ruling 72-513 held that a student newspaper receiving funding & resources from an educational institution doesn't endanger the institution’s tax-exempt status by endorsing a candidate. A revenue ruling is an opinion released by the IRS that can be used as precedent by taxpayers.
Good luck reaching IRS staff with all the layoffs.
It owns how completely incapable they are of understanding that this is the type of exhausting shit that helped Zohran win
How the fuck does an endorsement breach it's non-profit status? He doesn't even seem to be implying that money changed hands, just the endorsement itself.
It's Sh@i David@i, he never operates based on logic, it's always about what he can whine about to redirect attention to himself
holy shit lmfao
Real indictment of Columbia leadership that this man still has a job
Like I get tenured faculty are a pain in the ass to fire, but the students could very reasonably file a class action harassment suit against him at this point
Zionist weaponization of Jewish ancestral trauma is itself antisemitic.
If Shai Davidai wants colleges to be a partisan-free space from education, I assume he's starting that by resigning his assistant professorship and calling for a permanent reinstatement of his campus suspension.
Oh GOD why is he still around??? I could go the rest of my life without hearing that sniveling little shit's name and it still wouldn't be enough respite to recover.
Of course he called islamist the man who dared to speak against Gaza intervention.
I wonder if he thinks "Scottish Nationalist" is the same as "Islamist" or just that all elected Muslims are "Islamist" by default?
The latter. Anything brown, or from that geographic area is all the same when you're wearing ignorance goggles.
Eric Adams is an indicted criminal who was caught red-handed by the FBI. He would be well on his way to jail if not for the charity of the t***p regime. It’s rich for him to label anyone else a “snake-oil salesman”.
God imagine being scared of Humza Yousaf of all people
Can I just say that as a Scot seeing Humza Yousef referred to as an Islamist is fucking mental? He's anything but! He was First Minister when they pushed through self ID for trans people, which was blocked by Westminster
Sure, Mr. "I'd sell the tits of my daughter & your health for a kebab and a one-way ticket to Istanbul" calls the winning dem candidate for his post corrupt and a fraud. That he has the nerves tho ...
The Sin of Wrath is insufficient to describe the anger at seeing Eric Adam’s have the absolute gall to imply that another politician could be more corrupt than he is He should try talking when Trump doesn’t have his foreskin in a stranglehold
The Overton Window is not Pandora's Box
summers is right, this is demonstrating that democrats have exactly the same problem as the labor party in the UK: as soon as anyone remotely left gets anywhere near levers of power they have a screaming meltdown, screech 'antisemitism' and blow up the whole party to get rid of them.
Translation: "I, Larry Summers, hereby demand that Mamdani become an Israel Uber Alles clown like myself."
"Annointed"? I thought he won an election.
The TLDR: Waaaaahhh!!!
Wtf happened , did #seniletrump drop a bunkerbuster on 5th Ave?
bsky.app/profile/iron...
man Larry's cooked
he somehow is still standing after his rich history of horrible commentary.
Lawrence summers: I totally misread the electorate and backed the wrong horse now I will say Mamdani should run the playbook that already failed
"The most problematic aspects of Britain's Labor Party." Firstly it's Labour. Secondly the most problematic aspects of our Labour party right now is trying to be a Reform tribute act attacking all the worst off people.
Britain doesn't have a 'labor' party...
Yeah, dude Socialism is the most problematic aspect of Britain's Labour Party Sure, whatever
1/2 Lawrence writes more like a clueless keyboard warrior than someone who used to work in government. An election is not an “anointment”. The DNC isn’t the Democratic Party or even the Democratic establishment. Harvard is resisting the t***p regime by protecting its students free speech rights -
This is correct!!! 💯
and freedom from being kidnapped and extracted from the U.S. with no due process. Summers, The Guy Who’s Always Wrong About Inflation, is wrong about many other things too.
3/3 (sorry) Harvard is showing moral strength, not witness, in standing up to the t***p regime. Summers insinuates that antisemitic rhetoric somehow contributed to ZKM’s victory…or something like that…which is bull. He ought to switch to GOP and start a show on Fox. Most Dems wouldn’t miss him 👋
COPE.
Lawrence H. Summers: "I fear it is evidence that our party is following the most problematic aspects of Britain's Labor [sic] Party." Projection. The Labour Party is doing exactly what Democratic strategists would suggest, and it has been terrible. New York is rejecting that failed approach.
Please post more, this is so fucking funny
Screw him and his let’s keep the status quo going. So over this.
Come chill w/us live, covering this now. :) www.youtube.com/live/f2MEOol...
He is right about one thing, although the way he worded it is wrong: the student protesters DID shift the consciousness of many Americans, and the majority of Dem voters do not support Israel’s genocide campaign against Palestine. Crazy that he sees that as a dangerous immoral shift.
Idk...tbh i think Netanyahu and the grotesque crossing over every pretend line he had, made it so even ppl loathing the actions of Oct 7 (like say, the family of those kidnapped) can see this is clear murder and starvation of largely children. Netanyahu punished ppl by making lies of fair defense.
I am really proud of the young people speaking up. I am glad it motivated fellow young people. I don't think it's what moved the needle for the rest of the public, i think continual murder did that.
My God that is pathetic drivel
a continued menace
It’s Harvard’s fault. 😂😂😂
Brother thinks the most problematic parts of the Labour Party is being pro labour and not the rampant transphobia.
They wish he'd actually said "globalize the intifada" so so bad instead of: "antisemitism is a real issue... that has to be the focus of the next administration, not just talking about it but tackling it... I'm less comfortable banning certain words... it's more evocative of a Trump-style approach"
YOU DIDN'T STOP TRUMP. NOBODY STOPPED HIM. WHAT DID YOU THINK WAS GOING TO HAPPEN?
Never miss an opportunity to whine about Harvard I guess
First time I ever seen one of these types use the words "Ovverton Window" and it's for this shit. lol
I love how all these rich cosseted fucks have absolutely no respect for the will of the voters. It’s like they don’t even exist. Prediction: rallying around Adams will blow up in their face even worse than with Cuomo. They have no idea how much they’re pissing off rank and file liberals.
"we're trying to bribe him, just hang on"
Like we give a shit what this elitist asshole thinks. He's the worst.
This is literally the opposite of following Britain’s Labour Party. Labour purged anyone left of Mussolini, and is trying to out-right wing the far right, & leaning into the most extreme anti-trans, anti-immigrant and anti-disabled sentiments
Weird. I never heard that Zohran is for abolishing the "market economy"...
Given the Overton window is just left of literal Hitler and is as narrow as Cameron Frye's ass crack it could use a little movement in the correct direction.
it’s wild that the center right always needs to be mollified, but everyone else has to eat shit and fall in line. why should mamdani trim his sails vs. the center/right expanding their minds?
I would love to challenge Larry Summers to describe Trotskyite economic policies.
How is this real
Summers is an example of the elitist cancer that has infected the DNC.
this is incredible
Amazing how these evil people just emerge from the woodwork to attack zohran
Prison is too pleasant for that subhuman scumbag.
Summers should go fuck hinself pronto!
We have a "Labor" party?
here’s another person who needs a big icy-cold glass of Shut The Fuck Up!
I know it’s hardly the most egregious part, but he can’t even be bothered to spell Labour right. He is not a spanner. He is the whole toolbag.
Yes, Larry, we all want Mamdani to help you through this difficult time* *Mamdani winning the primary
I love that theyre scaring themselves shitless because they refuse to learn anything about other cultures or languages. No wonder you're racist, you've invented phantoms to haunt you 24x7.
"Globalize the struggle" just doesnt seem too controversial, maybe its just me.
I get why it's triggering for some folks when it's phrased as 'intifada', but it's not like he ever used the phrase. He was just trying to give a context that many of us don't have. It wasn't a campaign promise or anything!
Wow!
This country was founded on religious tolerance. We do not have a state religion. Pilgrims came here to escape religious persecution. These bigots need a history lesson, I wish Democrats were capable of articulating how wrong these fascists are.
the puritans came here because they were upset they couldn't force everyone else to be puritans, they were the ones religiously persecuting people
And fairly quickly split into different camps afterwards, some less interested in pushing their particular branch of God bothering.
I'm assuming he's going to try to get Bloomberg to run somehow?
Hope they oversaturate more DNC backed losers as independents, throw in other sex pest Bill Clinton in there too as an independent and let them circle jerk on each other splitting up their own votes.
Or Hillary
Just inject this directly into my veins. He just spent a ton of money to find out no amount can guarantee you an election win in America and I love that for him.
What reason does bill have to be depressed? he has a billion dollars. Just get the best therapy in the world and shut up damn
"I destroy the planet at an accelerated rate just for fun. Now that somebody has dared to oppose me, I'm going to try to get some assistance from the moribund justice system that I have evaded and paralyzed for years!"
They gonna David Hogg his ass on a technicality.
Or "deport" him
If the law doesn’t specifically say a Muslim can be mayor, then he can’t. Bill Ackman legal theory remains undefeated.
He's gonna get deported imo
Denaturalized and deported to Uganda for being a threat to Israel, to be exact.
I think they're dumb to do that or think the blowback would be terrible
I hope you’re right but so far they don’t seem all that concerned with blowback, especially from a racially-diverse Democratic city.
Mamdani needs security every second of the day too
Technically, the law says the King of England can't be a Roman Catholic, but I think the point stands.
Bill Ackman is one of the most hypocritical and pathetic Americans on the public scene. I hope he gets what he deserves.
The idea was endorsing Eric Adams btw Brilliant strategist, that man
Bill Ackman can fuck right off. #fuckbillackman
fuck you, Ackman, just leave
On the upside, it's funny to watch rich people take Ackman seriously.
It’s @politico.com - what do you expect?
Oh look...another billionaire oligarch who just so happens to be a raging fucking cunt. I'm sensing a pattern here...
You know, it alarms me that rich White men only support sexual offenders. Can you add my tantrum? Women are people too!
Ahh yes, yes the ideas are both politically toxic yet so popular they lead to landslide victories
Could you describe the "politically toxic positions", sir?
Which "toxic policy" did he have in mind there, I wonder...
I want them to try its ok if you fail just fight for the meek the rich don't need our strength.
they're so close to just admitting that their main position re: their own base is "wanting us to try to do things is toxic."
The only things that excite your voters are "politically toxic"? Is there a second definition of "politically toxic" that I'm not aware of? Because I could have sworn that things that excite voters are basically the opposite of "politically toxic". One might even call exciting voter good politics.
Politically toxic = things that corporate donors will try to block at any cost.
"Insane promises on politically toxic positions" like neighborhood grocery stores and free buses? (also, the party that does that unapologetically is currently running the country)
explains a lot about why so many refuse to run on campaign promises of making life affordable for the working class. very telling indeed.
"politically toxic" but won by seven points
What do they think that means?
"Why'd I have the bowl, Bart?"
toxic among the donor class specifically. "if the Democratic Party takes these positions, we won't get donations from DuPont, Monsanto, Blackrock, and Peter Thiel!!! simply toxic among The People That Matter"
"you make me, a deadbeat rich person, uncomfortable"
that president jed bartlett could never get it through congress
I suppose the moderates are free to start an independent party…
It would make our government more sensitive to the populace to have a strong left and right party with a modulating center…
Until that sage observer, Dem stratgist (Carville?) is identified, they are worthless.
The Democratic Party would be better off without these kinds of strategists. Have you noticed they’re nearly always quoted anonymously?
If the positions are “politically toxic”, then why do they “excite voters”? You can’t have it both ways.
Mamdani’s positions excite voters but are politically toxic among the billionaire donor class. These guys are accustomed to elected officials delivering the opposite.
Thanks. Anonymous Democratic Strategist appears to think the billlionaire donor class is all that matters. But money doesn’t vote. If it did, then Hillary would have beaten t***p handily.
they're liberals, they're going to keep saying they can have it both ways (and then crying that nobody voted for them)
Why smear all liberals like that? Is “liberal” a dirty word?
Sorry, they’re establishment liberals*
Democratic "leaders" see it as their job to discipline and manage their base, not to represent them
Apparently, they’re not “politically toxic positions” to the voters…
Oh fuck me I haven't laughed that hard in a while. 🤣
“Trying to execute on bad policy and failing” I agree that some more liberal policies will fail with establishment politicians standing in the way. They’re missing that the plan is to get rid of all the deadweight establishment politicians. Cuomo was just the first
Ah yes, insane ideas like... free transit and city-owned grocery stores things that exist elsewhere
What do they mean by “toxic” politics? Not an Israel bootlicker?
Sounds like those people just shouldn't be Dem "strategists" at all huh?
Are you being hard on them just because they have bad ideas, give bad advice, drain lots of $ from candidates, lose elections, and don’t learn from their mistakes? For the most part anonymously?
What I'd love to know is why the highbrow journalists at respected outlet Politico feel that the "Dem strategist" should be allowed to give a comment like this off the record when it's just them farting out an opinion. (I already know the answer to this.) (It's also probably James Carville.)
Anyone identifying as a dem strategist should be taken out back and summarily shot and their organs donated to people who might actually do something useful.
That toxic platform of...helping non-billionaires
This arm-chair dem lost all credibility when he brings up the risk of broken promises derailing a campaign when Donald fucking Trump is the president.
followed you for the tantrum reel!
“It’s alarming when our constituents want something more than the same old maintaining the status quo bullshit we’ve been pushing for decades”
Um, a rent freeze is just as legal as rent control, and way more temporary. Most of the "businesses" who will be affected are Pirate Equity companies/big banks. All of these folks set rent hikes together, using computerized arbitrage. It will be child's play to arrange to bail out small landlords.
It would be nice if, just once, dems would read the fucking room.
We don't need an opponent to Trump. We need leaders to stand up for what's right. For the Constitution. Trump is old news, he's running out of ideas and tricks. We need leaders with a bold vision for what comes next. We need to get to work on that.
📌
Guy who wins is in politically toxic position, huh
anonymous dem strategists who think politics is like The West Wing upset that winning politicians have unrealistic ideas
"Dammit! Why do these Democratic candidates keep running on Democratic ideas. How are we supposed to keep our corporate overlords happy with policies that support the general population?" --- Dem strategist
What is Politico gonna do when Carville finally kicks the bucket and they don’t have their “anonymous dem strategist” to run to anymore?
I remember how shit it felt watching the promise of the Public Option with Obamacare evaporate, and other hopes being dashed by Dems.
God, he's so, SO close to getting it here.
I don’t suppose the anonymous Dem strategist would care to tell us which specific policies are toxic and why?
And also why hide behind anonymity. Show us your face while you try to tell us what we want hurts your billionaires, you feckless coward.
“All politics is bullshit” at least he got that part correct.
ah, finally some strategy from the DNC strategists. The strategy? Bitch and whine to the largest journalist who'll listen. Classy.
Let my hilarity go!
Either there needs to be a take over of this party by good people who want to help other people, esp vulnerable people. Or fucking shatter it like the Whigs and start anew.
Amazing thread, thank you for your service.
This strategist is literally chanting “better things aren’t possible” 😂
Hmm. Not giving the voters what they need to get by is bad policy, I guess. 🤷♂️
That stuff has worked for Republicans for years.
Is it still considered politically toxic if you run on something and win because you ran on that
If the billionaires that fund both sides don’t buy into your campaign, I guess it is
That "isn't there someone you forgot to ask?" is the implication yeah
Wonder what this person would’ve thought the correct course of action would’ve been during the Civil Rights Movement.
So the candidate who won by getting more voters to vote for him can't win votes? It's like a toxic version of the classic Yogi Berra-ism: “Nobody goes there any more. It’s too crowded.”
Free buses. What a lunatic.
I laughed for twenty solid minutes.
This is an all-timer thread. Thank you for this schadenfreude
My ideas are so good, I won't put my name on it
Shut the fuck up Larry! Seriously, why listen to that ghoul?
This is all you need to know that establishment Dems and their strategists don’t actually care about their base or about enacting policy people really want. Apparently that’s “bad policy” and “politically toxic”. Why don’t they just join the GOP?
The base doesn't fund their SuperPACs and their consultant positions.
never heard a good take from anyone credited in a article as a "dem strategist"
Isn't this guy like the head of a major criminal justice reform foundation?
That's right. I've written a bit about their recent shenanigans scatter.wordpress.com/2024/05/29/m...
To put a sharper point on things, my salary was paid in part by Arnold grant $ at two past jobs, they pretty much are the supreme leader of the CJ reform sector these days because many funders have abandoned ship entirely.
More context bsky.app/profile/jben...
speaking of CJ funders! bsky.app/profile/jben...
loeb also makes a cameo in the eric adams whatsapp www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/...
Well I just learned a lot
Controlled opposition is their strategy to make sure something like criminal justice reform never actually happens
WHY DOES HE THI--breathe, Stevie. Breathe.
📌
Has this Dem strategist considered being Republican because it seems like he is one and is white-knuckling inside the denial chamber.
We elected a President who promised to end the Ukraine war on day one, bring food prices down immediately and deport 3 million people. Where has this guy been?
📌
Did they call it the Zohran question?
I’m sure they’ll find new and exciting ways to take your money.
You know how when you think about your darkest times with depression and anxiety and say "I wouldn't wish that on anyone?" I wish it on these folks.
"gentlemen, the situation is dire. instead of making billions and billions of dollars, we now face the possibility of making only billions of dollars."
Teenagers have calmer reactions to Taylor Swift.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
The Zohran Situation is going to be a Brooklyn grunge band by Friday
I'm slightly disappointed Mamdani isn't going to just Mao all the landlords now. A shame he has reasonable policies that will keep most wealth intact. Truly tragic. 😮💨
This is everything
They will make up anything, pull anything out of their slimy asses to make sure the poor stay poor.
The Zohran Question?
the salt of their tears will dot the land
poor guys 😄
Maybe they'll come up with a solution or two. Maybe pick some sort of final one.
Well, hell.
Was this dude there?
Hope it's in a really tall building with nice big windows
can the Cuomo Morgue Overflow Refrigerated Trailers be retrofit as WAAAHMbulances?
"You don't mess with the Zohran."
Whatsamatter? Their aged white knight got thrown from the horse?
My god, the whining and posturing…
These fascists are shitting their fucking pants over people having more money to spend on the economy. Let this be start of the sacrificial tribute to the sun gods with these monsters first in line
Stay alert NYC. Foul play could be afoot.
(Carrie Bradshaw voice over): "As I thought about the primary I thought, 'what if socialism and capitalism aren't competing systems vying for world dominance, but complementary tools a society can use to build strongest, most stable and healthiest economy possible?'"
That sounds familiar...
The fact that they're all so upset confirms my suspicions that this we did very good
Please add this fan submission. Credit to @humanistreport.bsky.social who has a video up which includes the tv crash outs.
😭what the fuck
What if these MOFOs put even an ounce of this energy into stopping the actual authoritarian takeover of the country.
love to see landlords scromiting
The local 1% shaking in their boots.
Filing this in the “shit that sounds fake because it is definitely fake” category
The evil people with money being really upset makes me feel good about this.
I hope Mamdani and Lardner joined the call. They aren’t gonna be outplayed.
what a bunch of salty bitches.
The reaction to this primary is truly insane. I hope these people have literal heart attacks over it.
Non-survivable ones.
Strokes resulting in locked in syndrome FTW.
Christ, they are just a little overwrought.
It’s pathetic
#GreatHypotheticalBandNames The Zohran Situation
You don't mess with the Zohran.
Album title just dropped, too: Hot Commie Summer
Ragin’ Cajun XIV: The Zohran Situation. Dem operative James Carville thought he had finally retired. But right in the middle of a bowl of gumbo, he got the call. One last job. This time the stakes were higher than ever: NYC rental profits.
Everyone knew. Only Carville could pull together the team of rich guys (the real estate rich guys, entertainment rich guys, finance rich guys, and rich lawyers) and finally address, The Zohran Situation.
Brilliant
His campaign should almost embrace this as a joke and juxtapose it against corporate bailout shit!!!
Add some merch to help pay for the campaign...
Yes my friend! Give me the shirt and also the hat, and a reusable grocery bag kind of jam. All made from recycled materials if possible please and thhhhhanks! We just spoke it into the universe and I am a decently powerful witch, I think I can maybe pull this off with vibe amplifying help!
mamdani's hair is too good. and he's not from new jersey
To be truly math rock it needs to be no caps and all one word
I don't disagree that it would look better, but that might make the text less accessible (for instance to people using screen readers) and I think inclusivity is important
You are giving this more thought than anyone involved in “The Zohran Situation” and I both applaud and sympathise
sounds like a terrible Robert Ludlum novel
You're not wrong - also, I used to love those as a teen 😁
also, "terrible Robert Ludlum novel" is repetitive
Watching them squirm makes me happy.
lol firesale you fuckers
Is that like "the Bonnie Situation"?
I'll bet you the Charging Bull's nutsack that all options, legal and criminal, are on the table. Capital will pay the world in its grave before it concedes the power to decide the future of human civilization, even if it means that global civilization collapses.
Every piece of human garbage on the Epstein flight logs has opinions
Pissing, cumming, and gagging, NYC real estators are shiddeding themselves.
Dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!
Who’s ackman gonna sue every single Mamdani voter?
This is the same coalition that organized the recalls in the Bay Area against all our progressive elected leaders.
is that just a bunch of Russians, Saudis and European oligarchs?
They’re praying for something like this youtu.be/YflQRpuzR5Y?...
Can I get a T-shirt that just says Zorhan Situation? It would be as great as the Lavender Menace T-shirts of old.
Or maybe The Zorhan Situation. Probably better.

Beautiful
The people who can afford 700k for two parking spots need to calm down
My heart bleeds for them!
Hear me out, if you just give up your $3000/month bachelor apartment and live in a box for 19 years you can save enough to afford two parking spaces to pitch a tent in
Correction…one parking space
meanwhile we gotta petition a city for 6 months and get 1 million signatures and still wait 5 years for them to repaint some parking spots with disability parking.
it's well-know, from their side, it's only democracy when they get to control the offering of candidates having the people picking any regular Billy Bob not screened by the party could accidentally result in freedom
Can someone send them a buncha baby bottles with formula?
The Zohran Situation is my dad's favorite book by Robert Ludlum.
The Zohran situation.
I hope they get the hiccups and choke on their racist tears!!
someone needs to remind politicians that serving the people is not bad policy or politically toxic, the government's job is to serve its people, not its corporations
If only they cared about actual problems
𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘡𝘰𝘩𝘳𝘢𝘯 𝘚𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 is my newest album. Check out the top single, 𝘋𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘒𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘚𝘵𝘰𝘱 (𝘐 𝘊𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘙𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘶𝘴)
OMG!!! Just feed this straight into my veins Larry Summers is upset and concerned? SQUEEEEE!
🎻
I love that he’s become a “situation”.
They are gonna throw in with Adams or the GoP
So unelected moguls and oligarchs are convening to find ways to undermine democracy…
they'll raise rent by 666% to prepare for a future of not being able to exploit the basic human need for shelther
What a great thread! If this is all it takes to frighten the billionaires, our job may be easier than we think
we can't expect them to work during business hours, can we?
If only they cared this much over the actual facist in the White House…
Prepare for an absolute barrage of Blatant Ratfucking that would make Nixon Blush.
The Zohran Situation was not Ludlum's best work.
Guys! Guys!! This isn’t funny, all the people who actively try to fuck you over a barrel are very concerned!
Oh gosh I hope those leaders don't throw themselves out of tall buildings in fear of a fairer future
"The Zohran Situation" sounds like an upcoming Wes Anderson film
The Zohran Situation was an MTv show in like 2004, right?
Cuomo support backfires. the more they panic now, the stronger the opposition to them gets. Supporting Cuomo is a self made disaster.
Which really means "the people of New York City situation."
"PARASITE AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!"
Directly into my fucking veins
Sir we’ve got a well liked Muslim… this is the one thing we didn’t want to happen
Perish the thought the poors or working New Yorkers should want their interests represented.
The notion that the "real estate and business leaders" of a city of 8 million and metro area of millions more could "convene a call" is absurd. If it is true- then it's a clear sign of a problem; more likely it's not true and it's just a random collection of rich guys

The pro-growth anti-corruption candidate has a lot of people worried
Like cockroaches reacting to the light being turned on
We’re really learning everywhere that the good ol’ boy network (GOBN) is less-dead than we thought. Not saying it’s the same everywhere, but the GOBN is more pervasive than we should be comfortable with.
Are they worried about having a roof or food? No? then they they can fuck off into the sun assbackwards
THIS!!!!
scromiting!
The Zohran Situation sounds like a GPT ripoff of a Ludlum novel.
That was Tarantino's original title for a chapter in Pulp Fiction.
Worst Wes Anderson movie ever.
But for real though, it becomes scary if they call, say, Erik Prince. Seriously. This man must be protected.
"But how will we exploit the masses to enrich ourselves to a degree of almost clownish obscenity if we can't fool them into putting our people in power?"
"The Zohran Situation” sounds like the title of a Steven Seagal rom-com.
“Don’t mess with the Zohran”
This level of panic is, I would submit, deranged. It would be a miracle if they can't simply stifle him within the vast money-stuffed recesses of the real estate/developer/finance/Albany/agency blob that has done for every mayor who deviated from a narrow scope of action since, I dunno, LaGuardia?
Zohran unironically should have a Patreon so we can all chip in for security for him, because I don't see a version of this that doesn't involve at least one fascist psycho trying to take him out.
@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social for real, Mr. Mayor. We are concerned. We live in a (partially) wicked world. People WOULD donate to make sure you have top-notch security. Also -- obviously -- watch out for those cubes (🧊), we know they don't have reservations about attacking elected officials 😔
Why ever would they be scared? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
there is no fixing america, the whole thing has to go
We know really rich people hate anything that is good for people other than themselves.
"What do you mean we can't buy the election???"
Movie title card: THE ZOHRAN SITUATION
Last time these guys got together SVB collapsed
“The Zohran Situation” is my new prog side project 😂😂
“Guys we might have to actually rent out some of our vacancies below our collusion rate, probably up to 10 percent. I’d caution you all to stop drinking while in the possession of firearms or windows above the 6th floor than can open.”
Eric Adams stands to rake in a ton of billionaire grift $$$ between now and November
If they’re this scared of the guy I’m more interested in him than I previously was.
This fall’s election will be an existential crisis for the wealthy establishment. They gonna form a coalition of their own and come out guns blazing. We need to be ready for it.
They already have a coalition and it operates across both parties.
The real deep state.
i think the more that we work together and push behind better candidates, we can continue to do great work. there was really solid "don't rank cuomo" movements, and phone banking and canvassing plus messaging helped us sweep the wisconsin supreme court election out from under musk and trump.
People from all over the US are already committed to contributing to his campaign. I’m hearing people in other countries talk about helping fight the inevitable global smear.
Yeah my friend! I am with you in Memphis, TN! My Zeide has been taking me to see theater/comedy/art and to eat since I was a little girl! So much family there, it's my ❤️❤️❤️❤️ All of us with eyes to see are with NYC❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️💋💌🍾
And Mamdani has no baggage re: Gaza and won’t turn to stupid consultants (like Harris). (I’m so excited!)
The greed machine is sputtering
They’ll have him arrested on trumped up charges, then he’ll “hang himself“ in his jail cell.
“The Zohran situation” OMFG!!!! 🤡🤡🤡😂🤣😅
That's a weirdly wordy way to say "Meanwhile, at the Legion of Doom"
Zero chance this happened
