NYC Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted for federal crimes

I am not sure if Cuomo is running as a democrat. Been hearing he’s running on an independent platform idrk I was only half listening

this is definitely because he wasn’t winning a primary. I wasn’t gonna have him nor Adams in my top 5.  Idk if this helps Cuomo or not but I don’t see him being a good mayor

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.

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

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

[Raptorpat]

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?

[Raptorpat]

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.
