Elon Musk calling the NYC ballot a “scam” is like a billionaire complaining that the line at democracy isn’t VIP-only. The man mistakes inconvenience for conspiracy. There’s nothing fraudulent about a system that lets people vote without checking their follower count.
New York’s ballots list candidates by party line, not by personal ego. That’s not corruption, it’s design. Signature verification replaces voter ID for a reason: to protect access, not privilege. But to those who live in a world where power is inherited, the very idea of equal footing feels like sabotage.
The truth is simple: the ballot isn’t rigged, it’s just fair. And fairness will always appear chaotic to those who expect control.
if y’all could learn to say tchaikovsky and dostoevsky, figured out how to pronounce all the complicated GOT and LOTR names - all y’all have no excuse as to why you can’t still say the name for the next mayor of NYC correctly. it’s easy, look: MAM-DA-NI #mamdaniisnyc
@bennyjohnson are you a true new yorker? born and raised here?? and have you lived in a real low income neighborhood? if not, STFU … and it’s not communism, it’s socialism (read a book)
@krit_mp @Iamivy05 feeling the hurt is so necessary … but it has to happen when you’re actually able to process it. blocking is a way to protect yourself from really painful things. and you cannot judge someone else’s timeline vs yours
not having RN union at work is seriously irking me. i’m sure anyone at @nynurses would have a fit if they heard what the situation we have now when it comes to our staffing is right now. never again will i work where there’s no nurse union …
didn’t think i could play the 6° of kevin bacon separation game - 1) dorm mates in college sophomore yr with the gentlemanly angus; 2) angus is half brothers with kiefer sutherland; 3) kiefer was in the movie Flatliners with kevin bacon … so, i’m 4 degrees from @kevinbacon?!
my SIL is Jewish, and proud of it (as she should be), but she is not a Zionist. in fact, she hates what has been done to Palestinians in the name of Judaism. so it irks me when i hear Zionists still claiming rights to Palestine. its still #FreePalastine for me
