I swear NYC's politics are fucking deranged.
The main candidates for mayor have been running ads on Youtube since May, and their main talking point is which one of them can obstruct Trump the hardest, despite the entire state turning redder and redder the last 3 election cycles. Which.... Y'know, cool, NYC is a blue-state HQ hell-district, it will probably always be second in how far left it is only to Harrisburg in this state, but what makes this even more surreal is the candidates they're running.
Adams is still running, despite the slings and arrows of his own fuck-ups, and I can't tell if it's due to some greater desire to see the other candidates fail or his own cussedness.
Then we have Zohran Mamdani, a fucking insane psychopath working for the DSA who wants to dismantle the NYPD, and if he wins, it's basically over for NYC's democrats, since he has basically no chance of winning outside his specific district and if he does stick in, the three-way split is going to absolutely wreck any attempt at party coherence.
All we need now is Cuomo unfrosting himself despite him being about as popular as anal polyps courtesy of the COVID debacle and him only dodging an investigation when Biden was in office due to him taking the slap on the wrist of leaving due to sexual indiscretions.
I can say this, the political landscape never gets boring up here. Just think, it was only a few years ago when some dude ran on firing the DAs Hochul appointed, nearly won on that alone before the usual cheatery kicked in, and they still panicked enough to try to have some dickass assassinate him. Said dude now works for the Trump administration, because the Donald appreciates a good joke as much as anyone.
