His excuse is that it would raise the price of groceries to those who have them delivered. I'm sorry but if you can afford to have your fucking groceries delivered in this economy then you're not hurting financially and can afford to pay the delivery guy a little bit more money to be your fucking gopher.
- while I'm generally with you, let's not forget that this can be an accessibility thing as well
  
  If the government didn’t help the disabled with delivery before DoorDash they don’t get to use that excuse now.
  
  In which case the delivery drivers should be public workers with full federal benefits
Please everyone keep voting for people you know don't care about you at all.
- i don't think that applies when Mamdani wiped the floor with cuomo in the primary.
Smearing shit on the walls before Mamdani comes to clean house of these corporate anti-worker puppets
Can't wait for Mamdani.
- please use the original movie gif.
  yours is cute, but I think everyone should me aware of that movie because it's a must watch for everyone.
- He better have security at the Traoré level...
It is amazing to see that he supports Mamdanis campaign like that.
One more example that our "labor" party is anti-labor and pro-business; awful pay and the worst benefits of the first world, even eastern Europe has more benefits.
- It's more that Mayor Eric Adams is a Trump-compromised piece of horseshit.
  
  His little stunts during Luigi's capture was pretty obvious.
Why did people vote this guy in again? It can't be because he ran on a campaign of hatred of his citizens
- The Democrats wanted to push a right wing cop so they could act like they are 'tough on crime"or some bullshit.
  
  Tough on crime is stupid since 9/10 the crime isnt something that should be tough on, even cases with clear cut good and bad still need tenderness and empathy at least for the victim. I'm a stoic asshole at least externally and even I know you need to show empathy and affection. Though don't show it to me if I'm freaking out, I'll think you are trying to manipulate me and I will throw something heavy at you which for relative perspective the heaviest thing I've thrown was 200 pounds okay it was more dropping with style but my point stands.
- Strong support from black churches in NYC. You know how the religious fall in line when the church tells them to do something?
- NYC has alot of rich people in, they want a status qou, so often times you here an R gets into be mayor of NYC. THATS HOW nyc had RUDY guiluiani.
Adams is trash. No one I know (here in NYC) voted for him or even likes him, but I hang out in pretty left wing circles.
- I voted for him, and regret it so much. I was a true dingus. I'm on the Mamdani bandwagon, now.
  
  Can you share what lead you to support Adams, and what changed your mind?
This is why Mamdani I is going to win.
- It's going to be iffy because both Adams and Cuomo are attempting to spoil the race.
this guy is like superman but in reverse
- You mean he flies butt-first by sucking air in his anus?
  
  someone should animate eric adams flying like that just in time to prevent minimum-pay workers from recieving minimun-wage gurantees by the their multi-billion greedy, and human-exploitating evil companies
- Namrepus
- Bizarro
  
  Bizzaro was trying to help people though, even in the continuity where he was an unstable clone he was still a good guy. If memory serves in the old DCAU continuity he was put on what amounted to a death world where nothing could hurt him and he loved it, he thought the planets murder animals were cute dogs.
  Do not slander my man bizzaro.
We can't have these poor people making money. /s
Thanks Democrats!
