Refugee from another, less-friendly instance. Please forgive the youth of my account— I’ve actually been around here for a while. Still, glad to be here!

  • The only reason he ended up the Democratic nominee is because New York City voters did not understand ranked choice voting during the primary. It was the first year it was instituted, and there was absolutely no public education campaign to teach people what the hell it was or how it worked.

    Kathryn Garcia should’ve been the nominee, and nearly was. Had she been, she would have won easily. and considering the campaign finance violations, Eric Adams committed, it’s no wonder he had an advantage.

    She was my number one vote. I was so so angry when she didn’t win the primary. And I really had to hold my nose to vote for Eric Adams. Everyone knew he was a piece of shit at the top of the election, but he was a lot better than Curtis Silwa.

    Edit: Michelle Gomez -> Kathryn Garcia — sorry for that half-awake mistake!








  • Well, it’ll probably be more policy-focused than anything with Trump, which is always just a clown show because Trump only knows how to be a clown. Vance will, at least, try to debate Walz, but it will quickly just be a timed trading of canned campaign jabs. How each plays it will be interesting to see, and - personally - I think it will be fascinating for 3 reasons:

    1. again, Vance’s relative terribleness vs Walz’s very goodness will be awesome to watch. Walz will kick Vance’s ass easily

    2. more than that, this debate will be far more substantive than the last debate, which was, basically, Kamala baiting Trump into crazy-shouting one crazy lie after another while Kamala just laughed and laughed.

    3. Tim Walz is, quite possibly, the most lovable guy to ever exist. JD Vance is, quite possibly, a new form of venerial disease.
