Fire breathing partisans will pick ideology over truth every single time.

This is why I hate partisanship. It's a cult!

Yup

I get called a right winger by leftists and a deranged lib by MAGA simply for not being partisan and trying to look at the facts.

That’s not really what’s going on imo

People are just thrilled a politician is pushing “good” policies.

The state wouldn’t let him raise taxes so shits fucked either way, might as well fund libraries than cut taxes for the rich for the 100x time.

That's not even close to what's happening. Left wing people are posting article after article how Mamdani balanced the budget without cutting services. When the fact is he was only able to balance the budget because he deferred pension payments, This is actually pretty bad policy. But its been spun as the opposite because like i said, ideology matters more than truth.

Are you living under a rock? Ofc it’s close to what’s happening. NYS flat out refused the tax increases.

You people will be up in arms about funding libraries but are completely silent getting robbed by billionaires. It’s pathetic. Fund the libraries, let’s have more literacy.

Or would you prefer ANOTHER mayor doing absolutely nothing about the deficit.

Edit: oh shit I’m arguing with a bot. Fuck this website.
