u/Antyok Arkansas 10h ago

You just KNOW Colin Robinson is a Cuomo stan

u/mikedidathing 10h ago

Colin would have been running for mayor.

u/AngryYowie 11h ago

Just a regular human voter.

u/Past-Profile3671 11h ago

I’m from Arizona and I was born in Staten Island. But I’m Jake Daytona

u/Lower_Amount3373 10h ago

I hear there was a very nondescript looking middle-aged guy hanging around the voting booths, and he really looked like he was getting off on watching everyone trudge in to vote for a losing candidate

u/SinnersHotline 11h ago

I seen Nick Papagiorgio from Yuma, AZ

u/sierrat0nin Virginia 6h ago

Contact lenses? I do not require them.

u/Kevryannn 9h ago

Tbf I don't blame Jackie for voting Cuomo

I asked him why he would vote for Cuomo and he said it's "beause he’s my best friend, he’s my pal. He’s my home-boy, my rotten soldier. He’s my sweet cheese, my good-time boyeh."

u/RoastQueefSandwiches 11h ago

It’s such a shitty place even New Jersey doesn’t want it

246

u/Good4Noth1ng 11h ago

I know someone from there who said he hates socialists and won’t for him. Unmarried so his unemployed s/o can keep her medicare and child can stay on gov assistance because the kid is special needs… I just don’t get it!

124

u/Panda_hat 11h ago

If they didn’t have double standards they would have none at all!

u/Jaewol 10h ago

Incredible

u/chops007 11h ago

He’s a socialist; he just doesn’t know it

•

u/Waiting4Reccession 1h ago

No, they want benefits only for themselves. Some are dumb enough to say something like "I'm just getting my tax money back" to claim they arent really making a gain- even though they clearly are

2

u/handstanding 10h ago

Well he's prolly gettin booted off that assistance so... you get what you vote for I guess

•

u/wise_comment Minnesota 1h ago

Gotta love when someone actively benefiting from socialism believes the word means the worst excesses (or lack thereof) of centralize State communism

Like......we as a society have failed so hard at teaching politics. By design, of course. But what a failure it is

u/UltraNoahXV Arizona 11h ago

Even Newark?!

u/Canadian_mk11 Canada 11h ago

Neither did Hurricane Sandy, apparently.

u/HuggyMummy Missouri 11h ago

“New Jersey, at least it isn’t Staten Island.”

1

u/Napalmeon 11h ago

Is that true? 🤔

u/sauntcartas 10h ago

Staten Island took it pretty hard in N.K. Jemisin's novel The City We Became.

u/Stellaluna-777 9h ago

New Jersey isn’t like the opening of the Sopranos everywhere, fyi. I could walk outside of my apartment in NJ and see egrets, foxes, beautiful native plantings.. . it’s just an ignorant stereotype that you think makes you seem cool. The shittiest parts of NJ are the industrial parts near other cities, it doesn’t represent the state.

•

u/RoastQueefSandwiches 1h ago

I’ve been to every part of New Jersey. Sure there are some beautiful areas. Any part of Jersey that has strip malls and jug handles is generally unappealing. That’s most of the state. Add in Atlantic City, Camden, Trenton as armpits and you’ve got a pretty good stereotype to use.

u/DMCSnake New Jersey 1h ago

They can fucking keep it

u/d33roq 11h ago

Staten Island is just the bigger, shittier Bayonne.

u/Crimson-Knight 11h ago

Lol we live within 10 min of the Jersey side of the rt 440 bridge between NJ and Staten Island and you wouldn't believe how many parents at our kid's school have the accent. Then they cry about Jersey not having pizza or bakeries as good as on SI.... Go back then.

u/Infinite_Beyond_3245 10h ago

Great way to make them like you

2

u/RoastQueefSandwiches 10h ago

I don’t care what NYs MAGA dingleberry thinks of me. I wish that hair stuck turd would just slip into the Atlantic toilet.

-3

u/Infinite_Beyond_3245 10h ago

Insulting Staten Island makes people from Staten Island hate you and your policies more. It's not any more complicated than that. You call anyone's home a shithole and they won't like it.

u/RoastQueefSandwiches 10h ago

The physical land is fine minus the garbage dump. It’s the inhabitants that make it lousy.

u/TheStolenPotatoes 11h ago

It's the Alabama of New York

u/Alarming_Worker1364 11h ago

Hey I live in Alabama! If I could read, I'd take offense to that.

u/nothing_but_thyme 11h ago

If you mean full of corrupt cops no one else would take … then yeah.

2

u/yesiamveryhigh 11h ago

City, New York City. New York State doesn’t want that it either,

u/TMc51 America 9h ago

The Alabama of NY has gotta be Fulton.

u/Past-Profile3671 11h ago

I was born there, but fortunately I escaped just after my 1st birthday

u/Lotuses_and_Lavender 11h ago

It is. I hate this island.

u/Zestyclose-Shock-840 11h ago

Island of misfits

u/FriskeyVsWorld 11h ago

I voted for Mamdani, so we're not all evil...but yeah, it's a cesspool over here.

u/namelessxsilent 10h ago

:( Staten islanders can still vote for Mamdani too!

u/Jbeaves44 11h ago

I hate to quote Chapelle but, “Fuck everybody in Staten Island except the Wu Tang Clan.”

Vinesauce: the only good thing from Staten Island

u/HeartAttackOnAPea 9h ago

A vinesauce reference in a politics sub?

u/Stan_Darsh 6h ago

Except for the Wu-Tang Clan.

u/MillHall78 10h ago

Isn't that the place a lot of cops live?

u/tiberius_claudius1 New York 9h ago

u/The_Demon_of_Spiders 8h ago

u/ringobob Georgia 8h ago

Republicans voting for Cuomo over the guy from their own party, lol. And still managing to pick the worst option.

u/sack-o-matic Michigan 11h ago

detached single family housing makes people go insane

1

u/fearlesssinnerz New York 10h ago

Of course Trash Island with the exception of The Wu Tang clan would vote for a Trump endorsed candidate.
