In our block meetings (Bed-Stuy) it was very interesting to see the split between Adams and Wiley was along age lines. The older folks were very concerned about crime and really thought Adams would make the city safer.
She was my choice, but it took her too long to get her campaign tuned and moving. I'm hoping she runs next time now that she fully knows what she's doing.
I think we need to understand that a small majority of voters don't want progress, especially progress led by women. Quite how you combat that without being regressive yourself is the challenge.
Actually we could have had and still need the capable & experienced Kathryn Garcia! No more “celebrities” thanks very much! maya should stick with tv news programs etc which she does well
Is she super progressive? Cant remember. We need a Mayor who is going to be tough on crime and in the middle. not a Trumper but not super left where criminals run free. I have my vote ready and its not a popular one but think we all agree that Eric Adams has ta’go
I am “New York adjacent” over here in New Jersey, and I could have told anyone who wanted to listen that Eric Adams was the totally WRONG choice for Mayor. Now that he is the mouth piece for the orange stain in NYC watch the city go down hill. What a damn shame
unpopular on social media opinion: DeBlasio was a buffoon but not actually bad at the job. Hired a lot of good people at agencies, expanded programs - which some of you should remember is part of governing and not just saying things that get likes. (not you, just...🙄)
As someone who never has lived in NYC, I just remember reading all the stuff about how the vast majority of New Yorkers really couldn't wait for him to leave the position.
Yeah, cuz he was annoying, because COVID, because the subways suck, and he was in cahoots with real estate, and ppl wanted “change” and the Left imploded, which is all how we ended up with our current president by the way.
And T wants to boot all Palestinians off their land. How is not voting for Harris working for you now, I guess you missed her statement telling Benny to end the war. Yes, she supports Israel but I doubt she would have made a land grab.
Israel is our Ally, we have been supporting Israel for over 75 years. Hamas orchestrated the attack against the country of Israel which had a right to demolish them. It was never about Palestinians.
Relationships within the Middle East are extremely complex. I refer you to the Balfour Declaration of 1917. Truman recognized the State of Israel in 1948; possibly due to the Holocaust. The US/Israel alliance has evolved from then. All I say is there are bad actors and things are always shifting.
stop blaming bernie sanders because you all let conservative blue dogs take over your party and drag it to the 'right.'
Now look at the position we are all in.
Not a New Yorker, but I was rooting for her. But what do I know ... I also rooted for Hilary and Kamala, refusing to accept that the US is the most misogynistic country in the free world.

Now look at you.

Fuck “Once A Cop, Always A Cop” Adams.
