Not abolish prisons. Keep victims of the warped justice system locked and happy.
right right...
ya know what, why didn't he just immediately establish UBI too? Helping with rent? Groceries? that's not good enough, why isn't Mamdani putting us into a post currency society? I just don't think Mamdani is doing enough, he's reducing crime but he hasn't solved world peace yet... so, trash.... I mean, the guy hasn't perfected society yet? why do anything?. Making public transit cheaper? Why isn't he just abolishing cars already? Where's our teleporters??
I don't want free healthcare. I won't be happy until he abolishes aging and disease. I mean, what's the point otherwise, right?
Tell us you don't know what a mayor does without telling us you don't know what a mayor does
How's a mayor going to help prison inmates?
How is pardoning and defunding going help the prison industry?
What the fuck fucking seat in government do you think Zohran Mamdani currently occupies?
Don't argue with stupid people. They have a rested mind.
Oh, their comment was upvoted 6:4 and rising before I wrote that. Not one upvote afterward, so I think some people needed it pointed out.
I doubt it is in his power to do prison abolition.
