Josh Johnson said it’s like Mamdani found the “make government work” button that nobody else wanted to press.

But when government does stuff, that's socialism. And the news tells me that is scary.

Yeah, I can’t remember who it was that was screaming this over and over, but some right wing politician was freaking out saying “do you know how many New Yorkers are on Medicare?“ And all I could think was, “anyone who can’t afford their own,” because that’s what New York does. If you’re below a certain income level, and can’t afford your own insurance, New York State will cover you. I know this because that’s how I had health insurance when I lived in NYC. It’s awesome.

And here’s this Republican asshole, freaking out, making it sound like everyone having health insurance is somehow a bad thing, lol

The news tells you it's scary because for the people behind it it is.
