Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I’m literally not wrong here. You dweebs only think I’m wrong because you incorrectly assume that I’m an electoralism dead-ender.
Please ignore all of the hard work other leftists put in to this electoral campaign and sit on your ass on a Tuesday afternoon instead of like, actually getting the chance to do layup praxis and freeze the rent for millions of your fellow proletarians at absolutely zero cost to you
You can’t actually believe that a rent freeze is even a remote possibility if Zohran wins, can you?
The rent was frozen multiple times in the past decade, so no I do not believe it’s a possibility, I know it is an inevitability should Zohran be elected.
I also believe it’s an inevitability because I know how the Rent Guidelines Board works. Do you? Because if you did you wouldn’t be saying that. Even Eric Adams RGB voted only 5-4 in favor of raising the rent, and the mayor gets to appoint one member immediately to serve at will.
That balance is in favor of a rent freeze on day one of a Zohran administration.
So do you just go around making up critique about all leftists without actually having a baseline of understanding of the situation you are speaking on? Maybe go try r/politics
Zohran assuming office is basically an inevitably at this point so I’ll make you a deal, I will apologize and admit you were right if a rent freeze happens.
Public apology video with tears please /j
I don’t do face reveals but I promise many crying emojis.
This contrition only ever cuts one way though. No lessons are ever learned from the hundreds of repeated failures of this method. They just keep doing it. If we're lucky we get one Lenin "Where did that bring you? Back to me" meme before they're back on their bullshit with the next Bernard
Okay we definitely need to find an emoji indicating the next bernard
