You think he can successfully pull off the Jets chant?

[–] Mandarbmax@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The only valid Mamdani criticism.

I'm not a new Yorker. What chant is that, and why would he have trouble?

[–] Mandarbmax@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It would be chanting the name of a local sports team. This is something mayor Parker of Philly has managed to fuck up, chanting E L G S E S instead of E A G L E S because she is dumb as a rock and drunk as a skunk

That's hilarious. What a thing to mess up publicly.

She used to be an English teacher too! Alas, the two most left leaning candidates in our mayoral race split the vote and without ranked choice Parker managed to win 😭

Perhaps they could have flipped a coin and gone mayor and vice mayor instead!

[–] Mandarbmax@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

That would have been nice. Maybe next time

OP explained the Parker aspect of the joke, but as for the Jets, their fans chant “J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!” in a similar fashion to how Eagles fans chant “E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!”

this meme template is literally always applicable to Philly and NYC lol 💀

[–] Mandarbmax@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Except usually is it NYC envious of our housing prices

Who's he gonna run against?

[–] hypeerror@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Curtis Sliwa

and you can pretty much count on Cuomo running as an independent to just fuck everything up.

[–] Mandarbmax@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And isn't the current pig mayor going to be running independent too?

Okay, he's an ass. I remember seeing someting on him. He believes in that vigilante justice and is a guardian angel. So more Stazi, Gestapo ice type justice. At least he supposedly hates Trump
