New York Post’s cover on Zohran Mamdani election sold out in NYC — and already being resold on e-Bay
We turned our pun-filled mayor Mamdani cover into commemorative merch
I love how they put “The Red Apple” as though red isn’t a natural apple colour.
I thought AAPL got new democratic leadership as all megacorps should.
God, how I wish that US Democrats were even half as absolutely based as the right wing makes them sound.

… I don’t think I have ever seen the rightoids more triggered, shitting and pissing, crying and whining.
God damn.
Oh well, stay mad I guess.
Mamdani should troll them by instituting five year plans for the city’s development.
He already kinda’ did - his plan for the minimum wage increase to $30/hr is a five year plan (supposed to fully be enacted by 2030)
Hats off to the graphic designer, that looks sick
The designer could be a secret socialist.
The designer mistakenly sent forward their personal fanfic project instead of what the boss asked for.
For those that dont know the difference:
Socialist: Wants to replace capitalism entirely. The idea is that workers or the state should own the means of production (factories, land, major industries) so wealth isn’t concentrated in private hands.
Democratic Socialist: Wants to keep democracy and some market economy, but make it fairer. They push for strong social welfare, workers’ rights, public services, and limits on corporate power. Basically, capitalism with guard rails that prioritise people over profit.
To dumb it down even further, think of Democratic Socialism as what you have today in the US, but with a safety net and better start for everyone in life.
Even further for those of you with room temp IQs
Socialist = smash capitalism. Democratic Socialist = make capitalism nicer.
Socialist: Wants to replace capitalism entirely.[…]
Democratic Socialist: Wants to keep democracy
I don’t know if you meant it that way, but the two are not exclusive. Democracy does not require capitalism and vice versa. Some would argue capitalism is counter to democracy because the concentration of wealth is a concentration of power that needs to be avoided in democracy.
Socialism and even communism are originally deeply democratic ideas. Remember the soviet union? Of course Stalin just used it as a label, but *soviet means council. It should have been governed by a hierarchy of councils of increasing spheres of influence democratically deciding matters that concerned the people they represented (from city block council, factory council, […] up to national level). That was the original idea until the authoritarians took over.
Some would argue capitalism is counter to democracy
I’d say that capitalism is violently incompatible with democracy - that’s the whole reason they send violent goon squads out every time people start doing things democratically.
Im pretty sure youre mixing up democratic socialist with social democrat
A democratic socialist wants socialism, they just want to do it through gradual reform
That said a democratic socialist might appear as a social democrat when doing baby steps to gain power in the anti-socialist hellhole that is the US. Free buses, rent freeze at first, then replace capitalism from the NYC mayoral office. 😄
Maybe a little? The sweet spot is probably somewhere between these two, at least as far as I can see, there is a lot of overlap, if not in theory then in practice. No matter where America goes next, or what it calls itself, having a strong safety net and a great spring board for everyone to get a start in life would really go a long way, if not all the way, to finally realising the American Dream. If nothing else, the fact that Mamdani got elected is reason to dare to hope again. Something I dont think anyone has done in 20+ years.
I still think it’s bad branding. A Democratic Socialist is, semantically, a Socialist. It implies that the social safety nets and limits on capitalism are intended as a stepping stone to full socialism, which I think most Americans don’t want. If that isn’t the intention, all the more reason to use a different branding. “Social Democrat” would not have the same connotation. It seems like the label has been worn proudly, especially by Bernie Sanders, for so long that it’s been accepted as the right label, but IMO it was a regrettable choice which makes it unnecessarily hard for the left to gain mainstream support.
Communism was just a red herring?
Amazing how they seemingly do not know what any of this means, as they’re getting several symbols and ideologies/systems mixed up.
“Socialism = Communism” - The highly educated right.
social democracy = socialism = communism = USSR. Why do we even have some many different words?
It’s to devalue the words themselves - if you do it fast enough the masses literally stop taking the concepts behind the words seriously. And stop talking about it. “Communism” is a great example of that.
And pre-cald-war’s anti-communism propaganda (there still was anticommunist propaganda back then too) folk in the USA actually got educated (by their own independent citizens) what communism literally is, the meaning of the word, what it relates to and what it doesn’t relate to (especially ‘the political gov system’).
I’ve noticed their president uses “unconditional” a lot (for everything against their agenda without any relation to the constitution or any explanation ofc).
Same thing.Yeah, we should just, like, convert to 0 and 1, where 0 means no or bad, and 1 means yes or good, depending on the context.
i agree… sorry, i mean, 1
0
they know. they are pandering to their audience.
If I ever become part of their target audience, somebody take me out back and put me out of my misery.
Just buy some Tide Pods. You’ll know it’s time when they start looking appetizing.
their audience.
Idiots ?
Friendly reminder that the New York Post is a shit rag run by a shit family that prints shit articles read by shit people.
That sounds great and all but the shit-fountain shit-circulation system isn’t perfectly enclosed & self-contained - it’s spraying everywhere & they artificially have to add fresh diarrhea on an hourly basis to keep the enthusiasts happy.
And this is why I never read the articles before I post comments.
Thats what makes for the funny here
I’m printing this and hanging it on my wall.
Holy crap is that real?
…
Yup!

Well I found a fun new wallpaper, thanks!
He should frame it and put it on his office wall
I’d love to see it as the backdrop in the press office for any live event
And finish off each presser with the same pose
If he can get his hands on a copy, I hear it was quickly out of stock at newstands this morning. They’re already up on eBay.
That’s one way to sell papers, I guess!
That just makes him look more badass
Fucking rag
Sometimes the right does all the work of writing the satire for us
The Onion might as well pack up lmao
This year must have been really frustrating for those poor souls
This is badass
Ah yes, the yaed apple
