I just used a search engine. I didn’t use an AI for this.
add in the federal income tax take and he wants a total of nearly 100 percent of your earnings to be taken from you by government
in other words, slavery
That"s my point! The people of NYC and of the
state of New York seem determined to destroy themselves.
Let New York do it. They can keep Schumer, AOC, Mamdani.
We can't save them from their suicidal behavior.
Let them suffer when the collapse occurs.
thx, but you seem to have left out details in crime and sentencing
Here are Zohran Mamdani's crime and sentencing policies and proposals based on his record, campaign statements, legislative actions, and analysis of recent coverage:
Crime, Sentencing, and Public Safety Policies
Proposes eliminating enforcement and prosecution of a wide range of misdemeanor offenses, reflecting the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) platform to end “the criminalization of working-class survival”.[1][2]
Offenses proposed for decriminalization or downgrade include theft/shoplifting under $1,000, simple drug possession, non-weapon assaults, and driving while intoxicated.[2][1]
Plans to use his influence on the NYPD to deprioritize, discourage, or halt arrests for these offenses, and would pressure District Attorneys not to prosecute such cases.[2]
Advocates for closing Rikers Island and reducing the city’s jail population without building new large jails, supporting the existing “four borough” replacement plan for local jail facilities, but at reduced capacity.[3][4]
Endorses measures to cut or abolish pretrial detention, cash bail, electronic monitoring, and imprisonment for parole violations.[5][1]
Has supported recent parole reforms that allow many ex-offenders to avoid reincarceration for new infractions, prioritizing rehabilitation and community supervision over imprisonment.[6][5]
Supports re-allocating significant portions of the NYPD budget toward social services, mental health response teams, and community-based alternatives to traditional policing.[7][8][2]
Proposes stripping most disciplinary authority from the NYPD commissioner, giving the Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB) final say in cases of police misconduct.[9]
Wants to shift police focus entirely onto violent and “serious” crimes, limiting policing for quality-of-life, nuisance, and petty offenses.[10][2]
Calls for reduced sentencing for non-violent offenses and greater use of diversion, restorative justice, and alternatives to incarceration.[5]
Endorses legalizing prostitution and eliminating penalties for consensual adult sex work.[2]
Proposes tripling the city’s Mobile Crisis Team capacity as an alternative to police for mental health and crisis calls, aiming for a 24/7 citywide system.[11][12]
Supports broader investment in violence prevention, supportive housing, therapeutic interventions, and programs to address root causes of crime.[13][10]
Summary Table
Policy | Details and Examples |
Decriminalization | End prosecution for most misdemeanors |
Jail Reform | Close Rikers, reduce jail capacity |
Bail/Parole | Abolish cash bail, cut pretrial detention |
Police Reform | CCRB final say; redirect to serious crimes |
Sentencing | Reduce nonviolent sentences; more diversion |
Crisis Response | Expand mental health teams for emergencies |
In summary:
Zohran Mamdani’s agenda calls for broad decarceration, the abolition or downsizing of many traditional state mechanisms for policing and punishment, major sentencing reform, and a shift from retributive to restorative justice frameworks. He prioritizes community, health, and social service-led alternatives for most offenses, with traditional police and jails reserved mostly for violent crime.[12][1][3][9][7][13][5][2]
