Lemmy is a bit like Reddit but without the nice factor. Love to read only the worst possible interpretation and then pile on.
I remember the very beginnings of Reddit where there was a “downvote ≠ disagree” rule and it was so much nicer. People only downvoted things that weren’t relevant or in genuinely bad faith. We’ve come a long way from those days. Now I think people get genuine dopamine hits from downvoting an already downvoted comment rather than reading it for themselves.
Nobody is angry, just pointing out your lack of reading comprehension.
Republicans hiring people to shovel snow it before doesn’t matter when the current Republicans were mocking the program which ended up being successful. I would assume the scale and pay was completely different as well because they were Republicans, but that is just based on history and stuff.
Mamdani didn’t invent anything; plenty of Mayors, Dem and GOP have done the same thing when there was a blizzard.
Of course, it’s different if a GOP mayor does it…
1: Snow happens
2: Republicans criticize Mamdani for snow not melting at below freezing
3: Mamdani announces well paying jobs as solution to get rid of snow. Right wing demagogues mock the initiative.
4: It works EXACTLY as intended, which pleases the left
5: You criticize Mamdani for not inventing the snow shovel 6000 years ago in a bog in Russia
Where did anyone say anything about inventing anything?
It’s so funny to me. I point out GOP hypocrisy, but apparently I didn’t do it in the right way, so I’m getting downvoted.
It’s like you didn’t read my entire comment and just went off because you detected a slur I didn’t make.
Congratulations, you’re acting exactly like the folks who attacked Mamdani.

Being smaller amplifies the echo chamber effect.
It doesn’t sound like you find it very funny.
Congratulations.
You’ve discovered sarcasm!
I’m beginning to think this guy is being sarcastic…
So let me get this straight, because I find the anger here hilarious.
I point out that Mamdani was getting bashed by the GOP for doing something that other NYC Mayors, of all parties, have done.
No, Mamdani didn’t ‘launch’ anything. The plan was already in place, decades ago.
Downvote me for laying out the facts.

What facts did I get wrong?
