For the next mayor that replaces him in 4 years…
So you're... complaining that he's doing something that might not be done with the next mayor? Which is somehow a negative on his part, and not his future successor who would be either dismantling it or discontinuing (r otherwise not continuing) it...?
...Whatever, you're right, Mamdani, don't bother in the first place, give those trans kids nothing, alapakala on Lemmy is pissed off, tear it all down, it's not worth anything if it's not perfect to her!
now you're projecting.
reread my concerns when you're less emotional.
Trans care, like all human care, should be free, forever.
No shit healthcare should be free, plenty of countries do that already and it's a disgrace that the US is falling into fascism?
Mamdani can't wave a magic wand to make all healthcare free, we don't even have Medicare for all or universal healthcare yet because the worse politicians are capitalist and bought out by the elite.
I'd rather be "emotional" than an example of the left eating itself because you're miserable when things aren't perfect the first time something happens. 99% of mayors are lazy vultures compared to Mamdani and you're directing your ire at him!
Then if you're aware of the problem, why are miserably eating yourself over your inability to dethrone fascists?
Mamdani isn't our problem, capitalism is.
Why use capitalist means to bandage a disarticulation?
You're the one complaining that Mamdani isn't doing enough just because his successor might do worse, when he has limited power and is still doing more than the president. Oops, Godwin's law again, I can't mention the president failing us just because he's a neo-nazi, huh?
I never said that Mamdani was our problem, you're the one complaining about him not doing enough!
I am concerned this isn't enough.
Mamdani doesn't need to be a part of the conversation whatsoever. 15M$ isn't enough.
Of course it isn't enough, it's a START! Are baby steps not allowed?
Mamdani isn't part of it, but also you're complaining about him not doing enough. Which is it?
Ok: what do we do when these 15M$ are gone?
Show the statistics on how many trans youth were helped, as proof that not just $15M is needed next time but even more than that? Did you prefer when Adams just took bribes and did nothing to benefit NYC?
Sounds like you'll never be happy unless Mamdani pulls a billion dollars out of his ass, while his competiton is doing fuck-all in comparison.
