Is Fox news unironically the best place to learn about your new favorite social dem?
Affordable housing is a major part of Mamdani’s platform which is fitting because he live rent free in their heads.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll keep saying it. I wish every democrat was as much of an insane leftwing socialist as republicans make them out to be
I wouldn’t mind Joe Biden from the memes.
I already support Zohran, you don’t have to keep selling!
What’s funny is the MAGAts that live there will HAPPILY take those things… But then still badmouth the shit out of the man who made it possible.
The right: Birth rates are declining!
The right when they see no cost child care brought up: Socialism bad!

I believe that this is part of the Christian dogmatic pipeline. If you require social services, check your closest church. And of course you will need to be a member in good standing to keep access… Etc
It’s also convenient that churches tend to be de facto segregated by race. We’re not racist, we just setup institutions that happen to work in racist ways.
My former religion used to do this a lot. to the point people I didn’t know who heard I was one of them, would ask about these kinds of services. The church doesn’t do any of it anymore. they stopped all their charity efforts of this kind as it doesn’t line up with American Republican values, and those are clearly more important than shit Jesus said. reading any manuals, teaching plans, and so forth that the church puts out makes this abundantly clear. Used to be Mormon. Finally gave up with the anti-lbgtq bullshit and the church hording tithes. literally against the dogma and doctrines of the church. 100%. They still teach in Sunday school for kids that tithes stay local and help people in need Mormon or not. it’s a full on lie at this point. Other than child abuse lawsuits I’m not sure the church spends money on anything.
“That should be the role of the church!” The church proceeds to not do what they said it should.
Hey man, after my local church finished paying off their pastors mortgage they used the last of the money to host a bake sale!
You people are ungrateful commies
Don’t forget about the expensive TVs!

I have no idea how anyone can think that baby baskets for newborns is a bad thing.
I actually have no idea what that even means… Could you help me out with some context?
I’m from Scotland and here, every time a pregnant person is registered with the NHS (we have universal free healthcare, which is normal in Europe, so this is pretty much every pregnant person), they’re automatically enrolled for a baby box to be mailed to their home a couple of weeks before the baby’s due date.
The baby box includes a ton of stuff designed to help parents take care of a baby in their first few years, including the box itself doubling as a cot. Loads more details here, it’s been super well received since they introduced it 10 years ago ish: https://www.scotland.org/live-in-scotland/progressive-scotland/baby-box
CA also does this. they give you a lot of baby supplies as you leave the hospital with the baby the first time, it’s super helpful.
Good to know, everywhere should do it!
I’m guessing even in California you have to pay for it though?
In Scotland, doctors offices and hospitals don’t even have cash registers cos money is not something the citizens ever have to think about when it comes to healthcare, I feel sorry for anyone who has to exist in the US where money and healthcare are tied together
In Finland, parents of newborns receive a cardboard box that doubles as a tiny sleeping space. It’s filled with essentials like diapers, a sleeping bag, small mattress, toiletries, etc.
It’s like your new player gets basic gear at Level 1, minus the bronze sword and 10gp.
10 GP probably isn’t a bad idea
That’s the buying price in the market section of town.
Love the video game analogy lmfao It paints a funny picture
penis mention
He’s the new Boogeyman, because he has a Muslim name. Much like with obama. And memhet oz whitewashed his name and skin
I love how “socialism” is a smear in a country that has “e pluribus unum” on its money. Unum, only up to a point, I guess.
That’s not American English though. They didn’t know what it says.
unum -> military ✅
unum -> bailouts ✅
unum -> healthcare for you ❌
It’s ok. They’ve trained their monkeys to hate objectively good things.
Remember when Fox News called workers “dogs” that need to be starved to make us obedient? Never forget, never forgive
Monkeys surpass magats in intellect
Ok, so these are the promises. Now actually… you know…
Take all the funding from police. Hire an army of nannies for day cares instead. You will save lives, produce more for society and have extra to give everyone $30 minimum wage
Gotta get elected first, ya know? Kinda hard without that first step.
“Mayoral primary victory”, looks like that might happen.
And MAGAts are losing their mind on xitter
Imagine painting no cost childcare and $30 minimum wage as something bad. Ugh. Those poor rich people are gonna be slightly less rich!
I don’t think rich people will be slightly less rich.
Free child care is a no-brainer. More people working, more productivity, more taxes, et cetera.
Yeah but that’s in the future! They want their quarterly profits to looks good NOW.
Free child care might inspire adults to have more kids. Even more people working, more productivity, etc.
We are not doing common sense approaches to fertility. We are only restricting things and then acting surprised when it backfires. Kind of like Russia is doing. Odd.
It’s not fair! Poor people get all the breaks!
hypothetically anyway
TFW your government literally just hooked a brain dead pregnant woman up to life support against the wishes of her family, to force her to give birth, but somehow tries to paint political promises of baby baskets for newborns as dystopian nightmare fuel.
Wasn’t the baby just delivered a few days ago, very premature? Wasn’t it also known that it had hydrocephaly? (both things not very compatible with life)
Using a braindead woman and her braindead premature fetus as political football against the wishes of her family.
That’s so evil it’s a fucking cartoon. Like twirl your moustache, give an evil laugh, and then steal a blind person’s cane while jaywalking.
And forced the family to pay for it all. Pure fucking evil.
Not sure about hydrocephalus, but it was delivered at the earliest point the hospital was willing to do. The chances of the baby surviving are low regardless of other complications like that.
I learned after, the mother was literally rotting on the table. This was only done because it was a black woman without the resources to fight back.
$30 minimum wage and two parent households might be able to raise their child themselves
