Vote in the New York City Election

[Razgovory]

And for me yes. From what I've seen of Mamdani he sounds potentially really rather great....  though of course there is the worry that this is obvious to MAGA too so if he wins they will do everything they can to crush NYC and pin it on him.

No surprise you go for the racist.

I suspect you're just doing your usual thing but do explain.

Raz, insults don't improve any point you're trying to make.

Did Cuomo really get 60% of the Languish vote?

[Zoupa]

wait, I read it wrong lol

[crazy canuck]

In case you were wondering who the one idiot was that voted for Cuomo, it was me.  I meant to vote for Mandani but misunderstood what box was for what.  I am like a little old Jewish lady in the 2000 election in Florida.

Fixed the sizing again so the bars are kinda better aligned.  The HTML for pools just sucks when the poll options are images.

I voted for him.  He was the greatest governor of New York that Florida ever had

Obvs Mamdani - but what a catastrophe that the political groups opposing him ended up with Cuomo, Adams and Sliwa as the alternatives.

Not serious and I find it insane the guy who is spending all the money on anti-Mamdani campaigns could not have found anyone better than Cuomo as his standard bearer. Just bizarre.

Well welcome to American politics. Look at the best we could find to oppose Trump.

[Tonitrus]

Sliwa, just for this beatdown (after beating down Bill Ackman) of Coumo...

"Withdrawing", as in they are not longer actively running, and actually being off the ballot are different things. I think once you are on the ballot, you are on the ballot.

Voting Mamdani of course. The idea that actually doing something to solve NYC's problems is some kind of radical communism just shows how deranged the politics of this country have become. None of his recommendations would have been seen as particularly outrageous back in the New Deal or Great Society era.

I'll just throw this out there:  it is possible that some reasonable people may think that it's not enough to "do something"; that something has to be productive rather than counterproductive.  Maybe if more people found some things outrageous in Great Society, we wouldn't have liberalism so discredited that people like Reagan could win 49 states.  Just a thought.

Give me another alternative then. Oh excuse me, a thought. Give a thought. One that isn't more of the same disastrous bullshit. The 1970s obviously had some problems but it positively looks like a golden age compared to the dystopia the horrible policies of Reagan and company unleashed upon this country.

Barring some new thoughts dude I think things were better when we actually worked together to try to address problems. But feel free to provide "just a thought" at some point.

No thanks, not in a mood to engage with you when you adopt that kind of a tone.

NBC interviewer Kristen Welker asked Mamdani about a policy proposal on his campaign website to shift the tax burden "to more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods".

Asked whether he might alienate key constituents by invoking race, he denied the policy was driven by race and said: "I think I'm just naming things as they are."

Why the fuck would he mention race?
