Sad day for America. NYC has left the building. [LINK] - Hensou - 9:03am 11/4/25 (45) [View All]
- All you autocrats better get used to socialist candidates winning races. - conorlarkin - 1:03pm 11/4/25
  - Socialism = Autocracy, dimwit. - Iggle - 4:24pm 11/4/25
    - Over 2 million autocrats are voting in NYC for mayor. That’s called “energy.” - conorlarkin - 7:16pm 11/4/25
    - Tell that to the Swedes. They would be surprised. [NT] - Chris94 - 4:30pm 11/4/25

      - Maybe you could have just said "Scandinavians" and posted the thought once. [NT] - LanceManion - 5:00pm 11/4/25
        Maybe I don't care what you think I maybe should have done. Maybe. [NT] - Chris94 - 5:05pm 11/4/25
        That bothered you. Feedback is a gift. Check out ratemyprofessors.com. It might help you. Maybe. [NT] - LanceManion - 5:08pm 11/4/25

        I'm not falling for that one TakethetrainKnuteson, I wasn't bjorn yesterday. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 5:38pm 11/4/25

  - And you view that as a good thing? [NT] - LanceManion - 1:18pm 11/4/25
    - Socialism has failed. It is Political Baloney. [NT] - Hensou - 1:55pm 11/4/25
      - The Norwegians will be so upset to hear this. They seem unaware that they have failed. [NT] - Chris94 - 4:38pm 11/4/25
        You get a failing grade on this one. Prof. - Hensou - 4:49pm 11/4/25
        Norwegians are much more socialist than Mamdani. A+ for me. [NT] - Chris94 - 4:59pm 11/4/25
        Norway has about 6 million people. “F” you. - Hensou - 5:10pm 11/4/25
        Well clearly you’re the expert so why should I bother [NT] - Chris94 - 5:55pm 11/4/25
        Condescend elsewhere. I am demonstrably correct and you know it. - Hensou - 6:02pm 11/4/25
- I'm hoping this re-invigorates the NYC rap scene. NYC's best rap happened when the city was a dump. [NT] - LanceManion - 11:53am 11/4/25

  - Brilliant quote. But stupid to take it out of context. I was talking about paranoia in Higher Ed. - Hensou - 10:08am 11/4/25
    - I believe that NYC voters are street smart, and defer to their voting choices -- aka "democracy." [NT] - conorlarkin - 10:17am 11/4/25
      - There is nothing whatsoever "smart" about electing Mandami. [NT] [IMAGE] - BaronVonZemo - 12:39pm 11/4/25

        The over / under on the NYC Diaspora is 500K People. I'll take the over. [NT] - Hensou - 12:46pm 11/4/25
      - Street smart? [LINK] - Hensou - 10:37am 11/4/25

        I don't care what happens in New York City. But you should care about your party. [NT] - iairishcheeks - 2:09pm 11/4/25
  - You like Mamdani? [NT] - NedoftheHill - 10:19am 11/4/25
