Nothing pisses off conservatives more than feeling like their tax dollars pay for "free stuff" for people who aren't working. Dems need to change the narrative - working people pay more than their fair share to give "free stuff" to billionaires, and their struggling neighbors can't catch a break.

Completing the White House Ballroom will create dozens, if not many dozens of jobs over the next two years, which won’t end until the ballroom is completed. And workers will almost certainly get most of the 260 million dollars expended on the project.

If [insert billionaire of your choice] tells you to vote for someone, that’s a pretty good indication that you should vote for someone else. Someone needs to tell that to the NY Times, who think we should all vote the way the CEO of an eyeglass company is voting.

whatever you think of Spanberger, the fact that her opponent ran a campaign based almost entirely on transphobia and is on track to eat shit in the biggest blowout the state has seen since 2009 is unambiguously a huge win
Earle-Sears ran what felt like 12 billion ads about how much she hated trans kids and I didn’t hear a single pundit say she should stick to real issues that affect real people.

Think about how much money Michael Bloomberg , DoorDash, and a ton of Trump donors spent to get Cuomo elected. Look it up and see who they are. And then, think of how those millions of dollars could be doing other, better things for people.

They said to call if there were problems in your polling place. My problem was that some people appeared to be voting for Cuomo.

The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Features a Black man in a keffiyeh shoplifting, an abuser, a trespasser, a trafficker, a drug dealer, and a drunk driver all declaring support for Mamdani.

Cuomo is corrupt and desperate. Do you need a third reason not to vote for him?
Andrew Cuomo suggested Thursday that his main rival in the race for New York City mayor would cheer if the 9/11 attacks happened again — a serious escalation in the war of words between the former governor and frontrunner Zohran Mamdani.

Actually, I’m paying for this fucking ballroom. Trump raised my takes to give a break to these billionaires, and the money they stole from me, they’re giving back to him.
Tech, crypto and tobacco companies are funding Trump’s White House ballroom.
The donor list includes several billionaires who have looked to curry favor with the Trump administration.
