… that is an unbelievable number. As in I literally don’t believe it.
That would be pretty much 100% of all non Mamdani voters according to the election results.
If these guys voted instead of threatening to move, Mamdani probably wouldn’t have won.
Right wing empty threats. No one is leaving…
Just a bunch of chest pounding and whining
Oh no! The horror of free bus transportation and affordable housing. Aaaaaaaaaaa!
Coincidentally, this also solves NYC’s asshole problem.
Bye! Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
Fuck they’re all gonna go to the Poconos, aren’t they
Poconos, KY
Mamdani: I just want people to eat food and live in houses.
Republicans: 🎶run for the hills run for your lives🎶
Happened in Detroit, although it took 70 years and a perfect storm of social and economic factors.

Wait until it happens. I can’t count the number of people who dramatically stated they’d relocate to another city or country if some politico or other was elected and never followed through. Most people who say that are all talk and no walk…
i agree that it is not going to happen, but relocating to a different city is massively easier than relocating to a different country (still not easy)
mfs going to migrate to upstate new york in search of Albany style steamed hams
😂 it’s a real thing, those turds will have the gall to complain when they find it
Mm, steamed hams.
It’s nice here in Germany. You should at least visit
Your masters programs are also very affordable, in may cases free, and often taught in English.
I’m enjoying my time here
Partly due to US social media companies, we aren’t going to let any USians stay longterm, though.

What do you mean?
it translates to ape teacher…
Mate, well-off people are were they are because they like living there and operate their businesses were they do because that’s were they make money - they’re not going to sacrifice their quality of life and profits merelly because they disagree with an elected politician.
Sure, they’ll say they will because saying it literally costs them nothing, but they won’t actually do it unless they’re sure they will be better off by acting thus.
Only those who aren’t high net worth individuals have to face themselves the difficulties of relocating, the well-off just pay somebody to deal with the headaches for them, so they never had any barrier to leaving other than that life won’t be as good for them or doing business won’t be as profitable elsewhere.
It’s not by chance that the free market “paradise” free of government interference and taxes called “Somalia” hasn’t attracted any high net worth individuals.

Add one to the tally, zorra. Brexit made me leave the UK
Skrexit
Same here.
I wasn’t going to keep on paying through my taxes the pensions of the kind of people who detested me simply because of where I was born (the proportion of Leave votes was much higher amongst older Britons).
Also a hard-nosed analysis of the whole thing yielded the conclusion that Brexit would significantly accelerate the downwards spiral of the UK.
It’s thanks to such hard-noses analisys that most of my savings were protected from being hit by the fall in the British Pound when the Referendum vote yielded a Leave as result and in the subsequent years - I “smelled the wind” even before the vote and moved most of my money and assets out of the UK and the Pound in preparation for a “Leave” result.
Decoupling from the UK, including leaving the country, were some of my best decisions ever, as I keep getting reminded periodically everytime there are news of the UK government doing yet another highly authoritarian action (I don’t even follow their Economy anymore)
It’s ironic that they would move to another country because someone they perceive as an immigrant has been elected. Then again these people are not well endowed in the brain department.
Americans are not the world’s favourite group of people right now, so I suspect emigrating would be difficult, unless they want to go and fight Russia’s war for them then I’m sure they’ll be welcome.
Oh, these people don’t walk. Presumably they’ll be chauffeured.
If you quit, I’m quitting!
Also never happens.A hard-nosed business-style analysis yields the simple conclusion that such talkie-talkie only has upsides for them. Because doing it costs nothing:
- If it yields results, they gain from it.
- If it does not yield results they’re no worse of than if they hadn’t said anything.
So, yeah, they’ll say whatever when they can only gain from it and at worst lose nothing at all from saying it.
Such kind of discourse should be treated as “lies until proven otherwise”.
The propaganda machine against Zohran won’t stop now that he’s been elected.
but will it stop affecting us innocent non-United Statesians?
My fucking wife doesn’t know the name of OUR CURRENT MAYOR, yet she knews about Zohani.
Go Zohani, but I don’t want to hear about local affairs from the US
EDIT : my bad on his name, he doesn’t deserve that kind of shit; it’s Zohran Mamdani, but I am leaving the mistake up for the record.
Tbf I dont know shit about any of my local politicians because every single one is exactly the opposite of who I want in power anyway so there isnt much point. Is 99% red here
Fwiw, not that you’re under any obligation to care as a non-citizen of NYC, his name is Zohran Mamdani. Not Zohani.
I figure the man is about to have every two-bit piece of shit out there fucking his name up, whether intentionally or not, because it “ain’t American”. Least we can do is get it right.
my bad, addendumed.
The problem is local US stuff is now a world wide issue… So it’s not going anywhere for now.
Yeah, people are right to complain when their local news is being drowned out by american politics but at the same time the political situation in the US is incredibly relevant to any country even tangentially associated with the US. Trump’s trying to do things like drop the nuclear test ban treaty and is actively attacking Venezuela, like, it is important. That the sheer unhinged drama drives engagement to the point that everything else is excluded just means you need to step up and make your own government as fucking crazy as ours is.
Trump’s trying to do things like drop the nuclear test ban treaty and is actively attacking Venezuela, like, it is important.
absolutely. it’s international news and could indicate further things of the sort happening; just like what’s happening in ukraine and israel.
I still don’t know the mayor of Kyiv or Tel Aviv though.
You don’t remember Vitali motherfucking Klitschko, WBO heavyweight champion of 1999 and WBC heavyweight champion of 2004? Also earned a PhD in sporting science?
I don’t know or remember him
I mean Trump does that, but how is the daily minutiae of that relevant to me in Europe for example?
I’ve had the country with the world’s biggest nuclear arsenal threaten to nuke my literal home address like twice in the past 3 years (I used to live near the Rotterdam port for a while), why do I care that the second biggest might someday resume nuclear testing like everyone else already does?
Or that the US might attack Venezuela? I’ve a full blown war, largest European war since WWII, right next door.
Trump getting elected and his policy might affect my life somewhat, likely much, much less than my local news do, or EU news, or news in EU-adjacent countries. Mamdani, ICE abductions, they are mostly just interesting stories to read that nobody actually cares about.
but even for those standards, it’s too much. it doesn’t even fucking affect the entirety of the US except for knock on effects. Like I gave a shit about Milei winning the argentinian elections, only because it could encourage more “libertarian” nutcases.
Spoilers : Milei is not a “libertarian”, he doesn’t believe in the only fucking saving grace of libertarianism : personal freedoms.
But it does, as trump is going to go after new York with even more force now. When Americans finally get off their ass and do something is what we are waiting for and this is the next step… For better or worse.
But it does, as trump is going to go after new York with even more force now.
what does that matter to someone living in the other fucking hemisphere, or hell, in wisconsin?
EDIT: I’ll even go a step further, why should I give a shit about ICE, yeah, there’s fucking murderous squads of cops beating ethnic minorities. So? They’ve been doing that in Myanmar and Israel for decades, why do I care when it happens to idiots from Cuba that voted for trump, or generic immigrants who said “I’m leaving my home country, where should I move to? Oh, I know, the place where they have no universal healthcare”
Because they are putting billions into making it everyone’s problem. Funding similar politicians around the world, making life harder for everyone on the planet… Not too mention the cost of things. They’ve made it everyone’s problem.
But thats not what people complain about
Russia does this too, but people dont complain about too much Russian news because there arent posts about internal Russian politics in every single meme community
Same here, my country just voted on a new government but I doubt most voters know more than 3 names on the ballot yet Mamdani is everywhere.
Then again New York City’s population is more than half of ours. New York state is probably more.
The section of New York City is literally the most diverse place in the world.
Over 200 languages spoken there. You probably have a cousin in New York.
I don’t doubt it. Manhattan was stolen first by my country before we traded it for Suriname.
Did you know that “Yankee” comes from Jan?
The “pure” English colonists in the South looked down on the Dutch because they didn’t have enough slaves and Natives to hate on.
“Yankee” was originally a slur, until the Americans started winning battles in the Revolution.
So thanks for that. And the cool city.
Pretty sure the current state of New York City is not really a Dutch legacy. But you’re welcome I guess. You’re welcome my people decided to get on boats and plunder half the globe.
The largest African American newspaper in New York is the Amsterdam News.
Obviously, it was a much bigger deal back in the day, but it’s still got a lot of readers.
So, your legacy lives on.
I heard it was Jan Kees, both male Dutch first names
non-United Statesians
USAmericans has a good ring, since “Americans” by itself is stupid
I was about to put “estados unidenses” but thought bringing up spanish for no reason wasn’t right.
I think I should just call them yankees
“United Statesians”
beautiful!
It’ll become more hysterical and comedic.
Look at the UK and what was done there when Corbyn - a real deal leftie - was elected leader of the Labour party (which hadn’t be left of center for decades until then).
Prepare for the establishments Democrats to cooperate with Republicans and pretty much the entirety of the Press including the “progressive” newspapes to slander him relentlessly.
In Britain they kept on claiming that Corbyn and Labour under Corbyn were “anti-semitic”, but nowadays after what Israel has done and how that accusation was so abused by those genociders and their supporters to excuse mass murdering of children, I doubt that strategy would work, even in the US (though notice that some are still half-hearthedly trying it with talk about how Jewish New Yorkers should be afraid).
Just beware: in the UK once they managed to kick out Corbyn the neoliberal faction took over Labour again, did a purge of any leftwing members of the party and now - only thanks to their First Past The Post system - are in government and doing things like convicting people to jail for participating in demonstrations, most notably by declaring of the peaceful protesting groups Palestine Action as a “Terrorist Organisation” and then arresting old ladies for demonstrating against the Gaza Genocide by supporting it, though they’re doing a lot more than that since they’ve passed more generic “public nuisance” legislation to de facto make demonstrations illegal.
The neoliberals that infiltrated the supposedly leftwing mainstream parties in power duopoly “Democracies”, when push comes to shove are little more than Fascists with fancy suits, smooth talk and extra varnish.
Obama’s tan suit has entered the chat…
Other disappointments when people didn’t flee from a lost election:
(He also said it in 2024 in reference to Harris… such a missed opportunity)
To be fair, if he had lost in 2024 he may have had to face sentencing for all the felonies (also probably not though)
It should not have taken 4 years to sort through his shit.
The fact that the legal system is so slow is part of the problem. He just needs to send a couple yes men to court to straight up lie for a bit and then it’s another 6 months to call him on the lie.
The courts are only that slow because they want to be. Plenty of peons got trials and served sentences for shit in the time they were fucking around going after trump. They didn’t want to try him, and we’re waiting out the clock in the hopes he’d win so the charges went away, and it worked.
When you’re a celebrity they let you do it
“Somehow” Brasil made it happen, but the US did not.
It’s almost like the most corrupt and backwards of those nations is the self-proclaimed “leader of the free world”.
Nah, he would have just won against her in 2028 (if he hadn’t choked to death on a hamberder before then).
TACO.
I haven’t looked it up because I’m lazy, and for the past couple days that people have been calling him taco, I’ve been trying to remember what it stood for. The best I’ve gotten is “Trump asshole cunt… O… Range?”
Tiny anus cop orifice
Wth does it stand for? At this point, I’m determined to either be told or remember?
Trump always chickens out
Ahh yes ty
Always thought it was a reference to this:
This is real (which is real): https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/728297587418247168
You’re far too creative
I’m far too censored for that
Taking A Cruise Overseas
That was when he thought he’d actually be prosecuted for his crimes.
Then he realized it was all talk - just one mugshot and a fine.
1,000,000 claim they are going to pack up, sell their homes, find employment in another city, and move… but they couldn’t be bothered to vote? Bunch of snowflakes.
Probably can’t vote in NYC because their legal residence is already Florida, Nevada, or somewhere without income tax. And they won’t leave because The Villages just doesn’t have the food, parties, or culture that NYC has.
That doesn’t necessarily stop them. Republicans love committing voter fraud.
Nobody is leaving. This is a Post story. They’re bloviating nonsense artists.
I’m sure they found a couple tweets about it (or paid some bots if they were real keen)
From what I can tell it only takes 10 or twenty tweets for the media to latch on and pump out a story about it.
It’s the same when a comedian complains about being “cancelled” because 5 people said their joke sucks on Twitter.
Imagine how much housing would go down if one million people simultaneously left the fucking city, that would be amazing
