I think that's wrong. The Democrat platform offered a lot.

It's just that if in front of you, you have a weirdo who gives some stupid "with me, everything is free, and there's no problem" line, that is provable completely bullshit, but that your population is too uneducated (or too in a cult) to understand, then this happens...

What did you want Democrat to do? Give the same lies that GOP does? then what's the endgame?

But... Mamdani offered free childcare and affordable housing and won. It's not that far from feee everything.

I wouldn't read too much into Mamdani's success bearing in mind the other candidates represented scandal or the party that had no chance in New York...

Mamdani might be the reason the next mayor of NYC is trump 2.0...

I hope I'm wrong.

No, it's not "free everything", he said it clearly: it's going to be paid with taxes on the richest.

The orange idiot is pretending that it is "free everything"
