Mandami

Quote: Gandler

I agree the founding of Israel is problematic, and probably should not have occured at least in the way that it did. But, it exists now. And, many countries were founded on lies and bloodshed, granted, this was more modern than most.

That being said, focusing on racial groups who use welfare more than others in a dangerous path. If there is welfare abuse, crack down on it and prosecutes as applicable. But, don't focus on people by race.

But, yes, tax the rich. This has no relations to Jewish people though...

I expect all able-bodied people to support themselves
Chinese Americans if able-bodied should support themselves and do
Why can't hasidic jews do the same
Do they have an exception???????
This is just common sense. Not racist at all
I'm an atheist
Believe what you want, just support yourself
Common sense

Quote: Gandler

Does every Hasidic Jew collect welfare? Or is it just some like all communities.

I don't love people who abuse welfare. But, like I tell righties, corporate welfare abuse costs so much more than human level welfare abuse, even in abuse cases, I rarely care (unless it is an organization systemically abusing the system.)

Corporate fraud costs significantly more than welfare fraud, both in total financial losses and in the overall economic burden placed on citizens.While welfare fraud targets government assistance programs like SNAP or Medicaid, corporate fraud impacts public markets, private enterprise revenues, consumer prices, and tax systems.

The financial scale of corporate misconduct vastly outpaces the losses seen in social safety net programs.

Financial Cost ComparisonCorporate Fraud: The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) consistently estimates that the typical organization loses 5% of its annual revenue to occupational and corporate fraud. Scaled across the global and U.S. economies, this translates to trillions of dollars annually. Additionally, corporate tax evasion and financial statement manipulation cost governments and shareholders hundreds of billions more each year.

Brooklyn coffee shop refuses to serve Jewish Congressman known for being pro Israel. Mamdani given opportunity to respond. ‘No comment’. Democrat primary features ‘regular’ Democrat and far left candidate who has stated ‘Israel should not exist’. Mamdani endorses the latter.
It must be a joy being a Jew in NYC now.

Are Mandami and AOC going to be the face of the democratic party?

He endorsed three congressional candidates and they all won.

Many people love the guy and his message that gov't needs to focus on the needs of the working people.

BUT (and it's big but) democratic socialism will be a difficult, nay impossible sell outside of NYC and other major cities.
