Rotten apple.

This article is a special pain to read. Super-high on itself, incredibly purple prose, not much in the way of substance, all couched in a falsely-neutral, inherently conservative POV. Maybe there’s something in here but had to stop after the intro section

to be fair that's a pretty easy guess given he was elected mayor of new york city

suzynuze.bsky.social•79 days ago

He’s also dumb as a rock.

This centrist D limited my positive comments to “he’s better than Curtis Sliwa” - not even sure that was correct.

Nobody wanted to see another DiBlasio as his tenure was horrible. Unfortunately, the non-Adams choices all looked, fairly or not, like DiBlasio II.

In retrospect DeBlasio was comically overhated, he’s going to go down as the best mayor New York had for a 30 year stretch

Even by centrist standards, this was a bonkers assessment.

Nah.

You know who said "Eric Adams is the future of the Democratic Party"? Eric Adams. Nobody else said that.

mike-in-the-box.bsky.social•79 days ago

Okay, Eric Adams and Nate Silver.

Adams is one result when the paper of record for the city and the world pushes a crime panic even as crime remains near historic lows.

No small share of responsibility belongs to the Grey Lady.

True.
But remember when the centrists said Fetterman was sketchy?

Mayoral races in big cities are so often just a series of train wrecks, but everyone knew this jackass.

I have always liked Maya Wiley.
