Maher drops a reality bomb on Zohram Mamdani voters

[wamose]

Perhaps we can stop being mean, stingy and racist...that would go a long way toward changing how people feel about the nation.

You could also try being honest for a few minutes every now and then.

Clearly you're no fan of freedom:

Clearly, I have no sympathy for people who murder, rape and rob Americans.

Actually, my Dad was an Eisenhower Republican. he barely understood Reagan. I suspect he'd be horrified by Trump.

Sounds like your dad was a rigid person who found it hard to adapt to a changing world. I do agree with him about Eisenhower. He WAS the best president in my lifetime.

I think its likely Mamdani will have to break a lot of his promises, or lose a lot of revenue.

And either way, he’ll have to break his promises.

And old voters. Let's just take away social security and Medicare, and you'll be amazed at how much old white people decide they really love them some socialism!!!

Yeah those things are just like welfare.

You guys are idiots.

 

[CowboyTed]

Or he'll do just fine.

Here's the problem you guys have. You haven't made capitalism appealing.

The reason so many young people are voting socialist now is because they look at their parents who've worked their whole lives and have very little to show for it, making other people rich.

And the best retort you guys have is "but, but, but, North Korea!"

They are scared shitless that Mandami might succeed..

He will lower the bar on delivery but will say that is have a reality... But he will say that he will still aspire to the overall vision, the whole of that vision is generational... (i.e. longer than 4 years). But at least he is going in the right direction...

I say what he will go for is to make Manhattan more residential friendly, a better city to live and work in... Reduce the amount of private cars in the city and invest in public transport... Eventually narrow roads, more bikes, pedestrian areas.... Very much like Europe have done its town squares...
In Europe they have found that pedestrian of areas are economic boom for the businesses of that areas.. Look at Template bar in Dublin, Leister Square in London, Bull ring in Birmingham.... These areas can be open or covered...

And before every says that it kills business... That picture above is from London's financial district...

Generally traders are allowed to get deliveries from up to 10 am in the morning and then they leave the city...

He claims that Poland is as rich as Japan. That's nonsense. Poland's GDP is less than a trillion. Japan's GDP is 4 trillion.

Japan's GDP per capita is only about 20 to 25% more than Poland's, not four times as you attempt to imply. Also, Poland has been capitalistic for about 35 years. Japan has been capitalistic for what 150 years? Even if you start after World War II, it's been 75 years.

You're in a losing battle if you're arguing that Socialism is more advantageous than Capitalism.

 

[SweetTea]

I'm already paying my fair share, thank you very much.

The Billionaire class needs to pay theirs.

No, you are not paying your fair share if you're able to afford a second home or even a decent condo in the Chicago area. There are many people who don't have homes at all, remember?

 

[SweetTea]

I have a good life because I work two jobs, my wife works 7 days a week at her business, and it's taken me 47 years to get here

No way. You mean you have to work for it?

A large part of your problem is where you live, but I'm not getting into that with you again. You vote for your own economic suppression in a blue city.

 

[Lisa558]

Yeah those things are just like welfare.

You guys are idiots.

That’s because liberals make no distinction between responsible, tax-paying, and hard-working people who contributed to society for 45 years and “takers” who have never had a full-time job in their lives and produce nothing but the next generation of takers.

Where does he live?

 

[SweetTea]

Where does he live?

Chicago

Chicago

OMG. One of the worst crime-ridden cities in America, where the radical left racist mayor sides with thugs.

Clearly, I have no sympathy for people who murder, rape and rob Americans.

Clearly you have no evidence in most cases and even more clearly, you have no idea what a prison environment is like. Everytime you say you want no air conditioning you forget (or don’t know) that guards have to work in that environment.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

Yep. We've watched wealth disparity reach levels that are just absurd, and now the American Dream is slipping away.

I can't blame people for looking for an alternative. But the alternative isn't socialism, the alternative is running capitalism properly for a change. We didn't learn much from 2008/2009.

The American dream is slipping away because of massive bloated corrupt government.

Hell, we didn't have air conditioning in K-12, in my church or in the house I grew up in, and I can't name one person who died as a result. Maybe people need to toughen up and stop being such needy pussies.

Perhaps you should stop being a whiny *****; not everyone you hate committed a crime.

It probably hasn’t dawned on your ***** ass that prisoners don’t have the luxury of opening the window or going outside.

Hell there is no “probably” about it. You just post crap without giving it a second thought. I’d be stunned if you gave any of your garbage a first thought come to think about it.

The American dream is slipping away because of massive bloated corrupt government.

And overpaid staff. That’s why the $100 a dinner steakhouses around DC were still doing a brisk business even during a recession. The dual-income government workers knew they would rake in $300 grand a year, even “working” from home.

Not per capita, which is the metric that really matters.

Right just looked at the video...

He is wrong, Japan has a higher GDP per capita...

But Poland's rise has come from joining the EU... Poland receives the highest amount of money in the EU...

Poland are hard workers and they took jobs all over EU when they joined.. Polish was the third highest spoken language in Ireland...
Poland is an example of the benefits of joining the EU and the social democratic countries that pushed investment into the country...
It is a great success story but not a Capitalism story... Poland has free third level education, universal healthcare,...
Poland has 93 municipalities and 63 networks with fare-free public transport policy (yep that would be a Zandami policy)...

Poland moved from a Communist system to a more Social Democracy with the considerable help of joining the EU.. The EU did helped massively in reducing corruption and increasing investment. I remeber Polish coming to Ireland and we having to explain what the European Court of Justice (ECJ) was and how it was going to change Poland.
An EU Citizen can appeal to ECJ over there own National Supreme Court, this means National Governments can't even over rule their people's rights...
