Do you think Zohran Mamdani, mayor elect of NYC, is setting his own mayoral administration up for failure with an all female transition team?

When has an entire team of women been successful in/at anything? I haven’t heard of anything less diverse!

And while we’re at it, when has socialism ever been successful in anything?

I guess democrats just love combining two of the most failure inducing things into one… socialism, and women. 🤷🏻‍♂️

LOL, you need to educate yourself better. Those in the "transition team" are not set in stone - he still has until January to pick and choose.

Also, when has an entire female team been successful? Plenty of times

The Harvard Computers (late 1800s–1900s)
A team of exclusively women astronomers and mathematicians (including Annie Jump Cannon, Henrietta Leavitt, and Cecilia Payne) created the stellar classification system still used today and discovered key laws about how stars work.

NASA’s Apollo Navigation Team (1960s)
Women like Katherine Johnson, Margaret Hamilton, and Dorothy Vaughan led the teams that wrote the navigation code and performed the calculations that got humans to the moon. Hamilton led an engineering team of women that created software reliability methods still used today.

U. S. Women’s National Soccer Team
4 World Cup titles, 4 Olympic gold medals—more dominant than the U. S. men’s team by a wide margin.

Indian Women’s Chess Olympiad Team (2022)
Entirely women, brought home a historic medal, outperforming several male-dominated programs worldwide.

The team of women who rebuilt the NYC transit system after 9/11
Women engineers and planners led the reconstruction of Lower Manhattan transit projects under budgets and deadlines that many said were impossible.

Many vaccine development teams—including major COVID-19 vaccine research teams—were majority female, and in several cases, led entirely by women, such as:

Katalin Karikó (mRNA vaccine pioneer)
Sarah Gilbert (lead for Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine)

The YPJ in Syria
All-female Kurdish defense units that helped defeat ISIS in key battles, praised even by U. S. military strategists

-- and many more.

As for "socialism" Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and even China and others to a large extent are socialist - and much more happier and successful than the USA.

Hang your head in shame, you fucking goon,.

Bro just wrote the entire Wikipedia page of ‘Women Who Did Things’ to defend a democratic socialist all-female transition team that hasn’t even been named yet 😂
Cool story, grandpa.
None of those examples were running a $110 billion city on taxes-funded daycare and rent control while openly calling for the abolition of private property.
We’re not debating if women can achieve greatness.
We’re debating if hard-left ideologues who’ve never run anything bigger than a co-op can run NYC without turning it into Caracas with better bagels.
History lesson appreciated though.
I’ll be sure to tell the crackheads on the subway that Katherine Johnson is coming to save them.

His whole plan ot give out free stuff and tax the shit out of rich people and big corporations is doomed to fail right out of the gate.

[SolitarySolace]

I hear he is planning to call President Trump to beg for $ to use for his dumbass socialist agenda since the rich people and businesses he plans to tax the shit out of are just moving away to places like Florida 🤣 Trump would never give money to a socialist communist who wants anarchy and crime to run rampant in New York City

[midnightmoon05]

I’m a woman and work with 99% women… 98% are horrible.
we’ll see how things go… I’m not happy with the outcome with him being the mayor of a big city.

[lightbulb27]

that alone no, appears they all have experience.

problem being one sided view is troublesome.

billionaries don't like socialist redistribution.. it's expensive. Millionaires don't like it... blech! people making $100k kinda like it. Those whom are on the street love it for a while... until they realize it's a problem and try to flee.

He does't have any serious wall builders in that group and he might need one to keep people in...

Capital Controls coming next?

Why didn't Mandami take power in Cuba and show us how it's done. weird...

Just seeing Lina Khan is huge. She is an unsung hero from the Biden administration. So I'm excited from her and her alone.

Socialism has been very effective at making insurance companies extremely wealthy and their voters extremely poor. It's how it's designed. And it has been very effective at deceiving people into thinking the more voters give the more you'll get.

[Mike_Whocheese_Harry]

He's going to be a failure because he's a socialist.

[DryGermanGuy]

Wasn’t he supposed to ban women from all office positions and into wearing burkas by establishing shariah law? Which one is it?

[DrPepper12]

Who hurt you? What was her name?

DM if you wanna talk...

[msc545]

I understand the point but I don't think so. It's even possible to select some competent females. I imagine he did that

[SolitarySolace]

They’re all socialists! 🤣 There are no competent socialists! And you of all people should know there are very few competent women out there
