Malliotakis is nothing more than a lying ass fear monger. All she does is attack migrants and democrats and then she’ll say shit like “can’t the Democrats put away their petty political differences for once” no, no we can’t, Becky. 4 Quote

Even without Cuomo there are three candidates to split the anti-mamdani vote, so they'd still have to all agree to consolidate under one guy. But if Adams wins again that would be so incredible, but not in a good way. 5 Quote

1pooh4u Posted June 27 Posted June 27 Cuomo isn’t dropping out(as of 6 hrs ago) probably because only 13% of eligible nyc voters voted in the primary although I did read an article claiming 30% 2 Quote

SwimOdin Posted June 28 Posted June 28 This race is politics in 2025 in miniature. The incumbent or establishment candidate being asked to see the door, and even then not leaving and finding ludicrous means to try to hold on to power. Good luck y’all. 3 Quote

1pooh4u Posted June 28 Posted June 28 Politicians, particularly Democrats, need to get people excited for voting. Turnout sucks regardless of the consequences. People feel like their vote doesn’t matter. 3 Quote
1pooh4u Posted Monday at 02:02 PM Posted Monday at 02:02 PM Mamdani keeps digging himself a hole with the “globalize the Infitada” saying. He says he doesn’t want to police speech yadda yadda but when you have a saying that became a war cry against Jews, that’s a mistake. I’m not going to argue w anyone here about it or anywhere actually because the gaslighting about the saying and its meaning is pretty incredible. You can’t take a saying that was clearly meaning to be against Jews and turn around and say it doesn’t mean that. “No it just means globalize the struggle” yeah, the struggle against who? Jews, that’s who. So yeah Mamdani probably won’t get much of the Jewish vote in November and that makes things difficult because we’re like 12% of NYC. That’s a lot when only around 23% of eligible voters voted in the last mayoral election in 2021 2 Quote

Nothing is going to change that. Shit, Germany still exists. Our country the US, still here. Rawanda still exists. Russia still exists. Saudi Arabia, Iran, so on and so forth still exists.

Raptorpat Posted Tuesday at 12:53 AM Posted Tuesday at 12:53 AM I've been dwelling, because that's what I do. So take "All Lives Matter" - it seems pretty self-evident and otherwise innocuous in the abstract. But we know from experiencing the context that it is a response specifically intended to devalue BLM. This in a lot of ways feels like that exercise, except every statement has 80 years' worth of subtext to catch up on. "Israel has the right to exist as a state with equal rights." Is that an innocuous statement or is it provocative? Because he's been called out for saying that instead of "Israel has a right to exist as a Jewish state"? Does he need to do a JFK speech where he explicitly lays out his position ("just because I'm Catholic doesn't mean I'm an agent of the Pope")? Or can we just get like a conversational reset to re-articulate the actual baseline positions without relying on layers of subtext? Otherwise the next six months are just going to be a complete slog. 3 Quote

You can’t just ignore 80 years of subtext and pretend that slogans that were calls for attacks are just “ideological slogans” to say Israel has no right to exist as a Jewish state when dozens of Christian and Muslim countries exist is completely trash talk 2 Quote
Raptorpat Posted Tuesday at 03:08 PM Posted Tuesday at 03:08 PM Not to ignore the subtext, because it's there for a reason for it to be subtext in the first place. I mean like a "reset" for the rest of us idiots trying to responsibly follow along. That example about the slogans is more obvious. It's either intentional or irresponsible, and neither is a good look (but it does beg the same question, which is it). But the example I gave seemed like a relatively straightforward answer at first, but then the counterpoint about his particular phrasing was raised that I didn't know I looking for because it was an omission. If that was a wink and nod, stop winking and stop nodding and just say what you actually believe so I can just judge you for your core belief. Same for the pols who say "I don't like what he's said" but don't actually say what he's said. Treat me like I'm stupid and need to be talked to literally. 3 Quote

Too bad people saying that aren’t likely to be honest about it What Mamdani thinks about Israel is of little importance to me because it’s not like he can wave a wand and disappear the country. Plus I don’t live there idgaf what he thinks about it. I gotta concern myself with what he will do for NYers. That’s what is important to me 2 Quote

At this party was this guy, big, fat, smelly, slovenly dude, who kept insisting on talking politics. Specifically about transgender people and the LGBTQ community. This dude was a dumb mother fucker too. You know the kind. The ones that think they’re smart. I told him at one point “that’s a real clownish position, bro” 😆 I left shortly after 😬 no one got mad at me. The dude was being a condescending piece of shit to everyone all afternoon 6 Quote

1pooh4u Posted Wednesday at 04:25 PM Posted Wednesday at 04:25 PM A few questions will be on the ballot in November one question deals with having open primaries and another question is about moving the mayoral election to when we have presidential elections I’m cool with moving the election to when we are already voting but idk about the open primaries. Why should republicans be allowed to vote in democratic primaries and vice versa? Seems like no one gets what they want that way. Imagine if republicans had been allowed to vote in this primary? Mamdani would have lost. The only plus is for independents. I actually wanted to change my part affiliation to none but decided against it because I wouldn’t be able to vote in a primary but that’s different than cross party voting Quote
