1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

MODERATORS
 

In a 17-minute video, Cuomo pitched himself as an accomplished moderate who can save a city he described as threatening and “out of control,” and is capable of navigating the delicate balance between working with Republican President Donald Trump and fighting him, when necessary.

“I am not saying this is going to be easy. It won’t be easy, but I know we can turn the city around, and I believe I can help,” he said.

The Democrat is expected to mount a formidable campaign, despite entering the race deeply wounded by the scandal that forced his resignation as governor in 2021.

Is New York capable of finding a decent mayor? They've had so many shit bags. It ain't just Giuliani.

I am going to be honest, in my opinion in the last 10-15 years rich conservatives have ruined NYC.

There are cool people and cool stuff there but damn I feel like they have been systematically disempowered in favor of mindbendingly rich people to a hyperbolic degree. Same story as other cities in the US, but something about NYC believing by default it is the center of the world makes it more suceptible to getting scammed by the rich and their pathetic lackeys.

Can we all get behind a progressive challenger to him and Adam's right now? Like, maybe AOC wants to run since the house isn't treating her right?

[–] jjagaimo@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Brad Lander is a good candidate

[–] Chef@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Brad Lander is the only logical choice at the moment.

I would prefer Jumaane Williams.

Unfortunately Williams is running for reelection as Public Advocate but he would be my choice. If Adams ever resigned or got removed somehow, Williams would 100% be on the ballot and would probably win that primary easily.

Man, I was hoping so hard that Juumane would get the governorship in 2022. I really don't think WFP should endorsed her or any "moderate" dem. That race against fucking Zeldin was too close for comfort.

Between him and Adams it will definitely be NY’ers voting for the lesser of two evils.
