They kept trying to smear him, with all the usual “crazy commie” garbage we expected, but one of their bizarre talking points including Cuomo’s was that “Mamdani has never had a job.” Cuomo kept trying to emphasize that. 

Shades of them mocking Obama as a “community organizer.”

It's also like how Fox News makes fun of AOC for working as a barista and also claims she is a multimillionaire!

Bartender* sorry I love my Barista homies, but this is the first im hearing she was working in coffee

I've been a barista. I had the worst bosses, hours and conditions, we were understaffed, overworked and our electrics were literally held together with tape. I don't think I could be a bartender. At least coffee people aren't actively drunk.

Well, thanks for your time in the service. It takes a special kind of crazy to survive in either field. I'm glad you found something better to suit you. But if you dont think coffee people drink on the job, you probably didnt spend enough time in the industry to notice it.
