It really is about this—whether we have a party w/ a vision & a plan or a party with reps trying to ride the gravy train until they die (probably in office).
This isn’t just about a mayor. Cuomo running is an indication of how badly they want to hang onto the status quo.
Nor the guy who lead the election interference campaign to torpedo Harris campaign and usher in fascism aka Uncommitted Movement . Plenty of other top candidates like A. Adams.
Just wait until I tell you how he destroyed workers rights in NY. Someone who doesn’t respect another person’s bodily autonomy doesn’t respect their right to compensation for an on the job injury
And who used his brother to get info on the people who he pested. Oh, and who Astroturfed a PAC to screw public employee unions and prevent cities from restricting real estate people from doing what they want.
I was at a book club meeting in Queens. 6 women, differing ethnicities, all over 60. I was the only one who was not a Cuomo supporter. (Landers & Mamdani for me). I hope the ratio is a lot better in other neighborhoods.
There is a power problem in our area. ConEd has been working on it for over 48 hrs. The other ladies said that if Cuomo was mayor this wouldn't have happened. REALLY? I pointed out that the mayor doesn't control ConEd. And these ladies READ--imagine those who don't.
But if Cuomo were ConEd CEO, the likelihood of this happening would be directly dependent on how well that neighborhood obeyed Cuomo's dictates and avoided criticizing him.
It’s astounding that Cuomo even thought he could run! Like what the fuck united states, how low can you really go? Oh forget it, we all know how low….🙄☠️
Source on that? Do you just mean under the presumption that your preferences are getting knocked out? If all five choices are knocked out early, you’re still SOL, no? Not trying to be combative, just not sure how what you’re saying squares with the official explanation on the NYC elections site
This one worries me because two decent candidates could split the votes and allow a loathsome one to win. This will be a good test of rank choice voting!
The test is going to be about what percentage of primary voters use their ranked choices effectively. I think we’ll do better on that score than we did 4 years ago.
There are several candidate that are way better than the two that are polling at the top. I really hope people take a look at them and use rank choice voting to give them a chance.
For those not in NYC, a reminder: we won't know the outcome of the ranked-choice runoff until July 2nd, the only info we will get tonight is what percentage each candidate got ranked as first choice.
Be careful! I used the word “predator” in relation to a certain nepo baby candidate yesterday and was trolled (here on BlueSky) endlessly by a creepy misogynist.
also remember not to vote for hateful, bigots, who want to "globalize the intifada" which is a blatant call for violence, annihilation and genocide. just saying. give me a cad over a racist bigot any day
I look forward to the day Democrats stop nominating sexual predators. (And, no, MAGA will never stop doing so, any more than it will stop nominating racists and Christofascists...)
You really should use the word “predator” instead of pest. That man actually sexually assaulted women. Having one’s boob or ass grabbed isn’t a pesky nuisance, it’s literally sexual assault.

Don't rank Cuomo 👎

I hope NYC is smart today

...why is it so hard to give these monsters their correct apellatives?
the Z guy has a bunch of proposals that he can't pay for or even get past the legislature
the L guy has a history of flip flopping on crime, and back in the day supported the monumentally stupid "defund"
So
Sexual predator, guy peddling hopium, or flip flopper, you decide
Anti-Semite even though New York has the biggest Jewish population outside of Israel! js
Or, "He didn't mismanage MY mother's/father's/grandparents Covid care".
ffs
Women deserve respect and not abuse.Piss off Cuomo!
Our Government is full of them.
And Churches too.
