We ousted NYC's clown mayor and elected Zohran. Next up: taking the fight to Albany and flipping Congress.

We need to start asking for specifics when nationalists proclaim a love for America. We let them get away with it but what exactly about it do they love? The people of many backgrounds unified in one nation, or just loyalty to the state? Because this reads like the latter and they never specify.
Incredible. CBS Evening News announces five new “simple values” — instead of their “38-page handbook” — as they roll out Tony Dokoupil is lead anchor.
One of those values is simply: “We love America and make no apologies for saying so.”

Sure it's offensive that Alvin Bragg refused to do his job and let the criminal mayor get a pass for his heavily bribed tenure in office.
But to start doing photo ops with the scumbag again on prob the one day in December Adams pretended to work? Inexcusable. Bragg's a real turd.

Too many silly points to call out individually in this reporter's thread, but the claim that Stefanik had "a razor thin [sic] path to winning the governor's office" is epic.
This is how political betting sites stay funded. Someone has to be stupid enough to believe Stefanik could win.

Stefanik's departure also leaves a gaping hole in the GOP's already faltering New York movement. She had a razor thin path to winning the governor's office, but at least she had a statewide profile. In the latest Siena poll, her heir Bruce Blakeman was unknown by 70 percent of NYers. 4/

By the time the election rolls around, every parent in New York will know that Big AI makes products that kill kids. Hochul just jumped on the wrong side of this issue for no reason at all, at the behest of people who fucking HATE New York, especially NYC.
I sometimes think Hochul has done just enough for NY and has been just loud enough fighting Trump to fend off Delgado in a primary next year, but then she does stuff like this.

First, "Dem leadership is less popular now" is objectively untrue: within NY-8, Jeffries's approval ratings are sky-high.
More importantly: Nothing you've said refutes the point that DSA has very little presence in NY-8 and has accrued very little political capital of their own to spend there.
