Newly elected New York City mayor wants state-run grocery stores

In Russia, we had Гастроном (Gastronom), where people often had to wait in long lines and there were frequent food shortages and lack of variety. It was the Moscow and other city dwellers who ate well. The state-run grocery stores where I am from in southern Russia were very poor and were forced to send the agricultural produce to the major cities. Russia now has a variety of grocery stores to choose from, many of which continue to have cheap foods. Zohran Mamdani wants to send NYC back in time and turn it into an anti-American communist pit.

He also plans to spend $65 million on “gender-affirming care.”

Of course you didn't - would ruin your narrative

@Thrust grow up.

Unlike you and your fellow radicals I took the time to do a little research. Further I did serve in the military and used the commissary and exchange, which were government owned

@samueltyler2

And hugely subsidized. Dismal comparison

Sorry to shatter your wet dream but this screwball will never get elected - even here. He got all the loser votes he's ever going to get in that anoymous primary. He'll end up with the same number in the general with 5-10 times the turnout

Plus he's got 4.5 months of horrendous publicity ahead. Every. Single. Day. Plus it looks like he's here illegally - if Trump deports him back to Ubangi you will hear me laughing all the way to the moon 😄😁😆

@Thrust you have such an adult way to speak. First i never said i either like him or the idea. Second the voters of NY will choose who/what they desire NOT out outside radicals. Why is the military commissaries and exchanges not the same?

@samueltyler2

The radicals are those like you who revere this fruitcake

samueltyler2 · 80-89, M

@Thrust good try, but I am hardly a radical, the radical right that wants the country to be re-established the way they like it are the radicals.

@Thrust you don't give up trying lame ways to avoid the truth of how radical you are.

@samueltyler2

Why didn't you just type "I know you are but what am I?" Since that's all you said
