President Donald Trump
I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?
So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at
My main thought is that, even though he probably will finish second, he has little chance of winning. The city's recent experience with a very liberal mayor was not good. Even most progressives grew to despise deBlasio. I also think ranked choice voting is a modest negative for Zohran. On the flip side, I detest Andrew Cuomo. I disliked him long before he became governor.
1. LOL at practically equating Bill DeBlase's platform with Zohran's. "Even most progressives" "grew to despise DeBlasio", you say? Well knock me over with a feather!
2. You presumably dislike Cuomo's repeated acts of sexual harassment and his indirect COVID-related murders of olds, which I can appreciate, but ideologically speaking, you two are peas in a pod.
3. Isn't "as big a grifter" as Donald Trump? Very cool!
4. Zohran's the only humane choice with any chance to win. If you don't rank him first, you are, and I'm going to say this as politely as I can manage, a stupid pig.
5. Yes, it's quite likely Cuomo will win, you very cool and sophisticated and cosmopolitan New Yorkers have a permanent love affair with being governed by the most evil, grifting creeps you can find. You probably voted for Eric F Adams, huh? That's rhetorical, I bet you actually voted for that hapless dork Andrew Yang.
**** New York. They should re-name it Haliburton City
you must show ID to prove you are 21 to buy alcohol at Club World Cup games
- oh that's fine, no issue
you must show proof of legal status to attend Club World Cup games
- omg, this administration is a disaster
Cuz not getting served a beer is comparable to spending days in detention camps run by low iq incompetent ICE Trumpers.

I know that you would much rather your detention camps be run by high IQ, competent, ICE non-Trumpers, as right-wing Democrats like you and rococo would prefer, but in lieu of that, pat yourself on the back for being marginally less evil than the median Republican!
On a totally unrelated note, I wonder why Obama and Biden somehow forgot to abolish ICE throughout the entire 12 years of their reign. I guess they thought that ICE (created in 2003) was simply too indeliblely a part of the fabric from the quilt of the American Experiment to mess with! Shucks!
Wow bro, so sick dog, I sure am glad no Republican has ever randomly appointed some creep to a low-moderate level position who then went on to commit a violent crime!
Also, and this might offend you, but EVERYONE should have healthcare provided to them by the state, and that NOT being the case is a repellant evil upon this planet. And yes, that "everyone" I mentioned even extends to scary illegals! (some 99.99% of whom are just trying to not starve to death)
The 2 sentences contradict one another. San Francisco and it's suburbs are the richest area in the US. And physically beautiful. There's some nuance like you said. All the good things attract scum. They have a lot of everything.California had great outcomes compared to many other locations in the US. We should look to them for guidance and model systems based on theirs given th
+1 to this. Yes you can show selected parts of CA cities that suck, but even then I’m pretty sure empirically that there are just lots of great things that blue states do.
There are also overcorrections that we have seen that are being corrected again. That’s normal to happen in more progressive areas because they are open to change and thus are more likely to adopt bad changes.
It is insane that in spite of every single ill-gotten advantage the right has attained like minority rule, judicial shenanigans, the right to insurrect, the accepted assumption that freedom of speech, protest and religion and ‘originalist interpretation’ of the constitution applies to what they want etc etc etc, they on top of everything else demand that every single person on the left without exception must behave above board or else there will never any moment where ‘they’ are allowed to complain
Brother you realize how easy it is to get appointed to commissions, right? And that they rarely have any type of personal relationships to the people that appointed them?
Anyway, I will have to wait a few days to comment because I’m not a neanderthal who tries to speculate on murders right after they happen.

Nah I’m fine with lax immigration enforcement and crime enforcement. Stuff like defund the police had no impact on my favorability of democrats or progressives. It cost democrats with minorities and working class voters though.
I love California. Lived here all my life except for living in Vegas for 1.5 years in the 1990's. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
That said, you'd have to pay me to take in stroll by myself in Los Angeles.
I think California, were it a country, would be one of the top-ten economies in the world.
Oh ya, the mean streets of West LA I get nervous just thinking about it lol
thinking about how much it'd suck to get got by nazi patton oswalt

someone tell the leopards that the rich/powerful white shitlibs are off limits !!!
fill your boots going after anyone else though...
I live in CA, where anyone can just go into an emergency room and get whatever care they need; although you might have to wait a long time. And being undocumented or having no insurance is not any sort of impediment. Everyone else just pays more to subsidize it.
Does the Minn. bill in question prohibit this?

Don't know, maybe not. In the UK anyone can get free emergency care but they'll raise an invoice for anything beyond that if you're not a legal resident. The main problem of medical costs in the US is not to do with emergency care.
Conservatives--You can't force me to pay .50c for npr it's tyranny!
People in rich blue states funding brokedick redstates--lol

I didn't equate Zohran with de Blasio other than to say that both are perceived as progressive, which is true. Zohran said that de Blasio was the best mayor of NYC in his lifetime, which isn't an ideal way to distance yourself from de Blasio.
You are completely wrong about my views on Cuomo. I detested him long before COVID and long before he was accused of sexual harassment. I thought he was a terrible state AG. I didn't want him to be elected governor. And I certainly don't think he is a good choice for mayor. I made the following posts at various times in this forum between early 2017 and early 2020, back when people were talking about Cuomo as a potential presidential candidate.
Here's the problem. People who are willing to do anything to win rarely transform into people with moral centers once they are in office. The Democrats could nominate some authoritarian jackass like Andrew Cuomo in 2020. He certainly would be willing to get in the gutter with Trump. But expecting Cuomo to be anything other than an authoritarian jackass if he were elected would be very foolish. I don't want the Democratic party to go there, even if it is the only way to win in the very immediate term. The cost is too high.
Cuomo isn't a buffoon like Trump, and he certainly understands government and the issues better than Trump, but like Trump, he is an autocrat and a bully at heart, and not particularly smart. I think he would be a terrible president, especially right now.
Andrew Cuomo 2020 ad just appeared in a social media feed. LOL at that happening, but God help us all if he is the Democratic candidate.
I probably would vote for any person in the Democratic primary before I would vote for Avennati. He would be my absolute last choice, or perhaps tied for my last choice if Cuomo ran.
I cannot think of a single big name Democrat I like less than Cuomo.
Needless to say, I only became more critical of him after COVID and the sexual assault allegations.
I did not want Adams to be the democratic nominee for mayor. Before he was elected, I was told by people with deep knowledge of city politics that (i) Adams would fill his administration with incompetent political appointees (which he did); and (ii) that Adams would be corrupt (which he was and is). That was more than enough for me. I trusted their judgment. I didn't vote for Yang either.
As for this mayoral election, I will vote in the Democratic primary for the person who I believe would do the best job as mayor. I don't believe that person is Zohran. But I probably will rank him. I definitely won't rank Cuomo. If that offends you for some reason, I really don't give a ****. I think it is perfectly defensible to vote in a primary for the person who you believe would do the best job.
I'm not sure what elicited the tone of your response to what I thought was a fairly benign post by me, but you can feel free to **** off.

except that is not true at all.
I went to the No Kings protest in NYC this afternoon if anyone has questions about what the overall tenor was.

It poured rain here and thousands still showed up. It was pleasant and peaceful.

What exactly are people protesting about?
