Gov. Kathy Hochul isn’t ready to endorse socialist Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral run yet, she said Thursday – as she slammed his plans to raise taxes on the rich.
“I’m focused on affordability and raising taxes on anyone does not accomplish that,” she told reporters during an event at LaGuardia Airport.
The Democratic governor had congratulated Mamdani after his apparent win, but notably didn’t endorse him in November’s general election.
The rot within the DNC is so pervasive. So captured by rich people and corporate lobby.
no rot spreading
what we are seeing is and has always been the Democrat party
Obama chose someone who supports segregation and that same person later became president, Harris hosted a celebrity filled gala and invited Republicans while citizens who were refused entry protested outside for everything the Democrats supposedly stand for, Walz as a governor teamed up with Trump to use police to manhandle pipeline protestors, and the list goes on
^^ This is propaganda
^^this is apologia.
Okay buddy reactionary
It’s spreading in the sense they are fine being so open with it
What’s hochuls net worth?
Over 3million? Hrmmm I wonder why she’s not on the fun bus.

Wealthy enough to care about taxes and enough to not pay them.
Honestly 3mil doesn’t give you access to the really good tax options like running a charity or multistate cattle ranch
Honestly Mamdani should start telling rich people that they will benefit from these taxes too. Less homeless people and drug addicts by giving them housing and drug clinics or something.
They care about profits short term, very few large companies competently plan long term.
If they thought about it for a minute yes it’s more costly for like a generation and the next generation is cheaper and the generation after that cheaper still. Combine that with a healthier population you end up with more production for less cost and specifically less risk to business because work comp wouldn’t need to exist.
They care about individual profits. If everyone contributes their fair share, but billionaires don’t contribute, they have more profit. But society is currently falling apart because they don’t contribute their fair share, and now billionaires whine about it falling apart.
In either situation the solution is universal healthcare because profits would increase either way just not immediately, these billionaires never die so it’s not like they wouldn’t see the backend increase before they die.
“I’m focused on affordability” for the rich.
She’s a fucking fascist monster. Bold to act like she’s concerned about spending, after she sent in the national guard in response to a drop in crime.
Isn’t this the same person who wanted to set up an emergency hotline for CEOs?
Almost wish they had so New Yorkers could flood the line claiming to be CEOs.
“I’m focused on affordability and raising taxes on anyone does not accomplish that,”
And I’m focused non you being a twat whose bought and paid for
This from the person who spent $600 million in taxpayer dollars on a new stadium that her husband’s company has a food service contract for.
As far as I’m concerned, Hochul can go right ahead and fuck herself on account of her attempted ratfucking of the congestion pricing, and doubly so for arbitrarily lowering the price and dealing a massive blow to future infrastructure in the process.
She also fucked over right to repair (unilaterally, after it passed).
You guys expect otherwise from Cuomo’s assistant governor??
She’s a snake, like all of those establishment fuckheads.
Where are the establishment dems mocking the “bOtH siDes” people?
Do you think, maybe, establishment dems aren’t progressive?

Like, this literally helps affordability.
It’s so fucking weird to me that they act like the government can run without taxes.

Hochul is just another pile of shit in a long line of shit.
she was the replacement for cumuo.
I live in upstate NY (the actual upstate, not like white plains) and I can’t remember the last time a NY politician even remotely had a platform benefiting us. 10 year tax free schemes thanks to Clinton. SAFE Act was a debacle. Daycare legislation is actively trying to kill off anything that’s not a group/center.
Not having endorsements from establishment dems is going to lose him exactly 0 votes.
if they want to hurt his campaign, deploy Hillary in new York in support.
slightly relevant to the joke https://youtu.be/uH8owcMHc34
The rich can, categorically, afford more taxes
The rich can, and always do, use their wealth to avoid taxes
Yeah this is not a well constructed thought by her. Need to go back together drawing boars with that one.
If the rich paid their fair share in taxes, life would be more affordable for the majority of people if politicians do their jobs. It’s a big if, and clearly one Kathy doesn’t believe in.
drawing boars
Typeo (drawing board) or is that a pun, insinuating that she’s working with pigs?
Hey, Kathy. Screw you. We’ll replace you in the next election.
