"White Female Mamdani"?
Seattle mayor Katie Wilson added a BUS LANE.
Daily Mail is pure garbage.
Please consider sharing achievements of Seattle mayor Katie Wilson rather than sharing the negativity and hateful propaganda of her critics.
Anytime you share a thing you hate online, you are doing free marketing for them.
You could instead ignore it and counterbalance with hope, optimism and successes.
I absolutely love this strategy and am 100% on board.
Daily Hate Mail
Daily Heil Fail
I assume she had this framed and mounted on her wall, I would.
Unfortunately, adding a bus lane does little when drivers fill it up anyways. Unless there's strict enforcement (doubtful), it'll just be another traffic lane
English newspapers are all trash.
Not only the tabloids
Mamdani is living rent free in those dipshits head. What really hurts them is that its working.
That was a really hard to parse title
It was written for the people who get their news from Trump's social media posts, so not surprising it reads in that style, at least to me.
Yeah that title was godawful
Feels like one of those “bad now, better later” changes—depends if it actually improves transit.
Bus lanes have higher throughput of commuters than car lanes.
If a mayor created a private lane only they could use between their house and work, that would be a crazy abuse of power. Or say, put in stop signs / lights right at their subdivision so traffic was more convenient for them in particular.
This mayor sped up the commute for thousands of people at a minimal impact to a significantly smaller number.
Car owners: "We can't use that one lane now if it's reserved for buses! This is bad! We want to use that lane!"
Random passers-by: "Well, if you want to use that lane so badly, why don't you use a bus, then?"
Car owners: "We can't! B-b-b-because...!" 😡
"This doctor who has never had measles is vaccinating people!!1!"
I'm trying so hard to read this title lol
I'm also enjoying that "mamdani" is the new "omg libarels"
Mayor: based af Daily mail: biased af
"Takes away lane of road from motorists" is a wild way to say "Created a bus lane". These people need help.
They takin' our lane, fuckin up everything
why don't to you take the bus?
ain't nobody take no busses, deys to slow.
wow so many [fill in the blank] isms in one sentence
Let me get my daily fail headline translator out real quick:
"Came under fire" == "somebody tweeted"
"Fury" == "a bot tweeted"
"Outrage" == "one of our staff tweeted"
"Slammed" == "somebody liked our tweet"
"Daily Mail is pure garbage."
Correct.
I'm not versed into English poetry, but mysogyny and racism put asside, can someone tell me is it suppose to be a well written sentence or as ugly as I feel this is ?
Yeah the whole sentence sucks. I am convinced it's meant to have people think "what the fuck are they even talking about?" and click.
"White female mamdani" is just fucking insane 💀 Also seattle is extremely woke compared to the rest of the us so good luck creating backlash. Its gonna be all the people from several states away who have nothing to do with it that complain. Same thing with NY, a lot of the people saying how "new york will fall" were from texas and whatever.
they had to emphasize she is white and a female, they dont consider her human. Mamdani has defintely got the dnc scared to the point they had to reveal thier true colors as racists and islamophobc like the gop they are.
