Do we need a "Best Year for Best Year Polls" thread?

That would be 2018, things went badly wrong in 2019, probably due to brexit.

Yes, and I think 'to hell in a handcart' could be replaced with some more topical like 'a Farage flight of fancy' ( 3Fs or fuckup for short)

Di Blasio has endorsed Ada Colau, current Barcelona mayor, to win another term (we're going to the polls in 2 weeks).

Our mayor tacks heavily to the left (for yuro standards) didn't know Di Blasio was a leftie. Although they have cultivated a relationship these years.

Looking pretty grim for him at the moment. The party he has a coalition with (Cs) has constantly ran counter to his messaging and his campaign has floundered. It looks like he will finish fourth, some polls place him fifth...

Di Blasio is about as far left as you can be here and get elected to public office mayor of NYC.

Really? I recall that weak one caving to the police who disrespected him. Not sure AOC would have done the same.

Okay, fixed.  Speaking of AOC, did you guys see where she was baffled & mystified by a food disposal?  Yes, yes, I'm sure it was all just a joke on her part that was way over my head :D

I am sorry but you just reminded me. We are a pathetic race who subsist on outrage.

I get ALL my extreme leftist news from the fairly far-right British TV ITV.

I get aLL my extreme right news from the fairly far-left Hungarian news site 444.hu

I missed the outrage over it.  Most of what I saw was derision.

Doubtful. She is not my rep and I am not really a fan.
