This is a slick move. I continue to see why right wingers are wringing their hands over Mamdani.

I’ll venture a guess that you didn’t research beyond right leaning sources, but these tickets are being donated by the Met, so they’re not taxpayer funded. They’re otherwise empty seats, and in return the Met gets a big promotional boost and a wider audience for their own fundraising efforts.

I’m in the events promotion line of work myself, and these are things people like us do to find your next paying customers. It’s like crack. The first time is free.

From an historical standpoint, Mamdani’s “Opera for All” is not that different than mayor Fiorello La Guardia’s “People’s Opera” in the 1940s where he made the arts more accessible to New Yorkers. Hell, they liked that guy so much they named an airport after him.

Opera isn’t really my thing, but l’d love to see a performance on Broadway someday. This is a savvy move, especially for a city like New York that wants to keep their art scene in the limelight for years to come.

As if being a socialist isn't bad enough, now the wanna be dictators are being openly discriminate to whites and other races.

What a disgrace.

Today’s leftists are dangerously wrong about communism. Just listen to the survivors

Victims describe torture, demolished churches and childhoods shaped by fear

Epstein had money as well and 'made it' in the world. I don't know exactly what your standards are but if that's all it takes to impress you, Epstein must be your guy as well. You must really love Trump as well, his family has great heads on their shoulders as well, like it or not.

Mamdani is a socialist/commie, I don't know why you guys dodge what that stands for. Immediately it becomes about race or hate or something dumb.

Random information here, but with all the interest in Mamdani l dug into his family background. It’s pretty evident he comes from some stock that has a head on their shoulders, like it or not.

His mom is apparently a famous film maker. I’m not familiar with her work. She’s got her own Wiki page though, so that’s an indicator that she made it in the world.

His dad is a professor at Columbia University and some other nerdy stuff, and he also has a Wiki page.

The end of the Social Security trust fund would affect the whole country at once, but the impact would be deeper in a handful of states.

A report released last week from the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB), a nonpartisan fiscal watchdog, models what would happen if the program's retirement trust fund hits its projected late-2032 shortfall.1 Benefits would drop 24%, and retirees would lose $500 a month on average—about what the typical older household spends on food at home.2

"No state would be spared from the potentially devastating effects of insolvency," the report concluded.

This isn't merely a problem for dems winning or losing a few seats.

All these DSA members need to do is win a couple times this election cycle, and their ideologies will spread.

Next election cycle maybe they win a few more and spread a bit more.

It'll work for awhile because they will be lying their asses off just to get established.

that is what obaMao commie and biden did. ObaMao even admitted in his book that growing up, he learned

how to tell white people stuff that would be accepted.......etc.

Right now, obaMao care was intended to GET RID of all our private insurance and make EVERYONE dependent

on the democrat gov to keep it. The dsa demands "medicare for all". to illegals that never paid into SS, to college students that never worked and

never paid into SS, to the homeless to don't/maybe never did work and pay into SS, it would bankrupt SS fast, we on SS have medicare taxes taken out.

But, crashing our system insurance wise, crashing our education system, crashing our legal system, crashing our political setup, crashing our Constitution -

it's all about taking all of us over. Without any way to pay for their fake manipulative promises. And that is why they are so desperate to disarm all of us.

except for them eventually.......

So many students have been interviewed who don't know who our VP is. Don't know who won the Revolutionary War, or why our brilliant Founding Fathers

made us a Democratic REPUBLIC. They don't know economics. It's all about how they FEEL. And the ignorant are easily manipulated with lies about "intended utopia".

It's a very old system - higgardly clinton, obaMao, etc etc etc. They get power and wealth - and vicious control to establish tyranny to permanent keep that power and wealth and control.

Read the article closely, He went to the University of Chicago. ObaMao is from chicago.

The Rules

1. "Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have."

2. "Never go outside the experience of your people."

3. "Whenever possible go outside of the experience of the enemy."

4. "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules."

5. "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. There is no defense. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage."

6. "A good tactic is one your people enjoy."

7. "A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag."

8. "Keep the pressure on."

9. "The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself."

10. "The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition."

11. "If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside; this is based on the principle that every positive has its negative."

12. "The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative."

13. "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it."
