I just found out the Statue in Times Square is real....I thought people were trolling. Who tf is that

It’s just a 12ft statue of no one in particular but it’s really pissing people off. Mostly because “she’s fat and ugly with an attitude” other complaints are because she’s “no one of significance”. I think the reaction to the piece is probably part of the point

I actually like the detail in the statue. I haven’t seen it irl yet but from the photos some of the details are pretty amazing. 
 

the artist is a British artist named Thomas J Price

it’s not the first time random statues were put around the city. We had the cows. We had the little defiant girl. Elephants. This statue is getting a lot of negative attention and it’s a little sad. Like fuck, big Black women can’t even exist as statues without everyone having an opinion. I guess that’s art but jfc some of the opinions are just. Idk you’d have to see it to believe it

He's running in the Dem primary and on an independent line. Adams isn't even bothering with the primary, just running on his own made up line.

Is that like when they run on the Dem and working party ticket?

Yeah, NY has "fusion voting" which means candidates can run on as many ballot lines and be endorsed by as many parties as they want. Want to run on a line with a gimmicky name? Just gotta collect the petitions and you can!

I think Trump is trying to give Eric Adams an assist because polls have Cuomo as our mayor already. 
 

Personally I can’t vote for Cuomo. How can I how can anyone complaining about Adams being a crook turn around and vote for Mr Grabby Hands Sleaze Mouth?

That's the very definition of lesser of two evils.  Are there no other legitimate choices?  Is Anthony Weiner still an option?

There are like a dozen candidates, largely all credible. There is no incentive for anyone to drop out because the primary is ranked choice, and because it's an odd-year election so barely anyone has to give up one office to run for another. But it creates the problem that they're still all sucking oxygen from each other in the media.

There’s Brad Lander Adrienne Adams Zorhan Mamdani off the top of my head all solid choices. There’s quite a few.  There are rumors that the candidates will start to strategize and work together because rank choice voting makes that possible somehow. I don’t know how. 
 

all I know is I’m picking as close to 5 as I can and Cuomo nor Adams will be chosen by me. Fuck those guys already

This poll is an attempt to simulate rank choice voting for the primary, with Cuomo coasting to an easy win.

Cuomo is probably going to be the next mayor and I can’t imagine how that’s gonna go.  Probably not much different than Adams cuz they both have shit in their closets that the Trump regime’s DoJ will use against them.

Zohran's such a mystic name. Lemme take a look into the crystal ball to see into his 1st day in office:

"All non-commercial, non-resident cars are hereby banned from the island of Manhattan."

....

Yeah nah NYC please vote for the molester.

The tweet DHS sent out claims they arrested him for assaulting law enforcement. I mean seriously, WTF! He was simply standing there, and they come pushing people aside and go grab him. It's not just that they think the law doesn't matter anymore... apparently they don't think reality matters anymore either, even when it's all caught on camera for people to plainly see.

he was escorting people too afraid to go to court alone because of exactly this reason. ICE sits in court houses waiting for legal migrants to go to their court dates

Early voting has wrapped up before the general primary Tuesday, and one thing seems clear from the media apparatus - Mamdani is a Jewish hating idiot who has no idea how to run a city.  Even The NY Times didn’t endorse a candidate but they ran a scathing op/ed against him.

Is he really that or being portrayed as that?

He seems more Pro-Palestinian, but in NYC the media views them as one in the same.

Idk I’m not holding it against him that he praised a group that funneled $ to Hamas. He’s 33 now. Was 25-26 at the time. His defense of “globalize the infitada” is more troubling. Regardless of the direct translation of the word, it’s come to be known as fighting all Jews. He’s not going to be able to reclaim the phrase.  
 

Idc that he’s pro Palestinian but saying “globalize the infitada” is saying “globalize the struggle against Jews” and that’s antisemitic, no way that it’s not.

The big open question is whether the weather impacts the older, high propensity voter turnout. If they all show up, Cuomo probably wins. If they stay home so they don't die of heatstroke, that helps Mamdani. I don't know if it has any impact but the Governor did sign a bill over the weekend repealing the provision of election law that prohibited handing out things of nominal value (like water) to people waiting in line at election sites.

I did my part. Didn’t rank Cuomo put Mamdani 2 and Lander 1. People accuse Mamdani of antisemitism but i don’t see it. Criticisms of Israel’s brutal war isn’t antisemitism.

NEW YORK (AP) — Zohran Mamdani had a tentative lead against former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the rest of the crowded field in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary Tuesday night, but the race’s outcome will be decided by a ranked choice count after neither Democrat got a clear majority in the vote.

Mamdani, a 33-year-old democratic socialist member of the state Assembly, started to pull ahead with more than an estimated 80% of ballots counted, though it was difficult to determine if his advantage would remain after election officials start to factor in how voters ranked the slate of candidates.

Mamdani was several points shy of the 50% threshold needed to win outright and wasn’t winning any updates by enough of a margin to close that gap. In second place with roughly 36% of the vote among ballots counted, Cuomo was also not gaining ground on Mamdani as counting continued.

Mamdani should have the race in the bag by the second round, given Lander cross endorsed him. 

Cuomo ran the (Hillary Clinton-style) "inevitability" campaign, but Mamdani had a lot of last-minute momentum as the anti-Cuomo vote coalesced.

 

The real question I think is whether Cuomo continues on as an independent candidate, and how that might affect the general election.

Cuomo conceded.

If Mamdani wins the mayor race, I hope the Democrats finally get the message. I don't have a lot of hope that they do. They've been throwing money at consultants, being afraid of polls and chasing the mythical moderate voters as far back as I can remember. 

I went to a local Democratic event here. It sucked. I think I might've been the only person there that wasn't one of the "patron of the arts" type or "your alphabetical cause on this Tee here" person that attended. There was poetry, some people selling tee shirts and other stuff. The state Democratic chair was there and he said "we're making some headway! Yay!"

Pulled him aside later and asked what sort of state issues they're really pushing this year or even a vision for the state party. His reply was "well, we don't really have any issues, we just want some candidates." God damn, if you're a political party, at least have three or four things you can put on bumper stickers. I don't think "we got candidates!" is a fucking winner.

A lot of people are being pretty fuckin gross over the Mamdani win. The Loomers and Kirks of the world are really losing their shit over this. It’s funny considering this was just a primary. Yeah NYC usually picks a Dem mayor but not always and our last 2 weren’t great. DiBlasio was kind of dumb and Adams is an asshole, so you never know. Sliwa could win because the Dems on SI that voted for Cuomo probably won’t vote for Mamdani. He isn’t winning SI anyway but there’s a few things at play here. Especially if Cuomo stays in the race. Dem votes could split 3 ways whereas Adams won’t peel a lot of votes from Sliwa. So it’s wtf knows.
