All the people saying this were promoting Cuomo over Mamdani lol

right-wing argument against immigration or left-wing argument for rent control

Idk. When an entire party wants families & children deported, women to lose their rights, minorities to be killed, and LGBTQ individuals to be castrated, all for just existing, I think it's valid to always vote against that party. No matter the quality of the other candidate.

Not lost on me that when the GOP does decide to cut non-discretionary spending, it targets the programme that provides healthcare to poor people and children, not the Boomer treat factories.

My take on this poll is that in 2016 Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s DNC ran a covert operation to elevate her preferred presidential primary campaign and that this crime has done catastrophic electoral damage to the party and catastrophic damage to faith in democratic institutions.

1. Moderate Dems are struggling in primaries by offering nothing that engages people
2. Many of these moderate Dems have the charisma of a doorknob.

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve made this point, but please take this as a WARNING, and not merely an observation: Anti-social behavior—think about the guy blasting music from a speaker, talking loudly on speaker-phone, smoking inside the subway car, etc.—in public spaces is often engaged in ***_as a dare_***. The whole point is to provoke anger and annoyance in those around him, which serves two purposes, depending on the response he’s hoping for:

(1) If everyone bites their tongues, the antisocial asshole gets to tell himself he’s such a badass no one would dare speak up; or

(2) If someone confronts him, he finds his excuse to scratch a violent itch.

Understand that saying something to these people will often come with a real risk of violent confrontation.

Espaillat was a quiet IDC booster and was also very close to IDC boss Jeff Klein. He was an Andrew Cuomo ally as well.

I think what’s happening here is part of a broader media issue: Republicans are just not being covered like an unpopular party with a president polling in the 30s.

[Max @maxtmcc]

one problem with political science is that you can’t rerun the same candidate to test them against a bunch of a different opponents of varying ideologies, except for Peru, where you can

agreed; what would karl marx think about calling yourself a socialist while getting funded by a sympathetic rich guy?

I think cheering for a Trump-endorsed Republican is grounds enough for a well-deserved primary in a D+21 district.

[ettingermentum @ettingermentum]

It’s a fascinating situation because we’ve seen Ossoff and Talarico get a lot of interest and goodwill from all factions of the party despite having similar factional positioning. The big difference seems to be how she treated the left.

[Adam Carlson @admcrlsn]

Having Republicans locked out of the governor’s race would have helped depress Republican voter turnout all over the state in November, including in several House races that are crucial for the majority, plus other important downballot races.

But hey, at least you got your guy.

[Lindsay Ballant @lindsayballant]

Among others, this org refused to endorse AOC in 2018. Their legacy is boxing out lefty women in favor of establishment men.

“In perhaps the most high-profile non-endorsement, EMILY’s list has stayed away from the governor’s primary race between Cynthia Nixon and Andrew Cuomo.”

Subway Takes is basically just a bunch of clips of NYC leftists reinventing “blood and soil” from first principles

In France, pensioners have a higher median income than working-age adults. Not even counting assets.
