I haven’t been following this race much. All I know is that Cuomo and the other candidates tried to make it a referendum on Israel which seems rather confused for a local election. He didn’t seem to have much of a chance before that.

What specific policies does he support that you are worried about?

-I think most of these ideas will make NYC worse off. Only one way to know for sure though, and like I said I look forward to the experiment if it happens.

I think it’s a mixed bag. Some of them are really bad, like the 30 dollar minimum wage. Some of them seem contradictory, like cutting down on red tape for building affordable housing while cracking down on landlords (which increases red tape significantly as landlords have to assess regulatory risk much higher than other locals).

I imagine he will get done about 10% of his agenda if elected, as it just doesn’t seem possible to do all of it. I’m not opposed to the social reforms he’s proposing even if I am skeptical of his economic proposals.


LoL

it's really sad this isn't an act but you genuinely believe government agents pulling guns on civilians for taking pictures is the correct course of actionit absolutely does not gel with your "my family was quivering with fear when we drove through a poor neighborhood" mantra, if you're going to fear the abstract threat of mugging or carjacking, you should absolutely fear the v

I have nothing to fear because I am not a low life. I will not be screaming and cussing at Ice agents. I will not be throwing rocks at Ice agents. If I am detained I don't run or fight back. It's probably not gonna happen because I'm in this country legally. I respect the dangerous and hard work these heroes perform. I detest the scum they have to deal with.

You're disgusting for sticking up for these creeps.

The message is fathering skills = intimidating and bullying a child.

This is the way you do it. If this doesn't work then we escalate. The beta approach certainly doesn't work. It's called being scared straight. You should learn from this.


Ha ha, yeah if only my dad had been more angry and intimidating maybe I’d have been a good kid

So you’re saying there’s a chance.

he was taking a photo, he was not throwing rocks

do you think a policeman should have the right to point a gun at your mom's face if she takes his picture?

Easiest call ever.

I'm not opposed to free buses, but I'd sure like to know how that would result in $1.5 billion in economic benefits.


I’m just wondering how he’s going to pay for all the programs he’s proposing. Surely they’ll have to raise taxes bigly and that will just chase people out of the city.

Wouldn't it be good to chase some people out of the city? Housing shortage and all.


Cuomo back on top

Short lived blip. Cuomo is red.

he's specifically said he'll add special taxes on the 1%

thing is very few new yorkers understand that applies to them - they are thinking nyc 1% not national average 1%

350k new york city residents are millionaires

my friends in nyc - liberal and conservative - are all freaking out and not happy


how the hell did the dem establishment think it was a good idea to have cuomo run again? i havent followed this race much until last few days but they couldnt find someone else to run with less baggage?

my favorite part of it was clyburn thinking he could play kingmaker again with an endorsement despite the fact he is a senator from south carolina, jesus these people have huge egos

If this kid was being abusive towards his mom this might be exactly what he needed.

This is a highly charged environment we are in. People like the guy taking the picture are putting themselves into bad situations that can escalate like this. The officer shouldn't have pulled the gun in this situation. These guys do put up with a lot of crap and there are a lot of psychos out there who would like to hurt them. I think we have allowed citizens get a little too brave and confrontational. I'm not shocked things like this happen.

yeah running cuomo is just going back to the old hilary/biden/kamala playbook - they've learned nothing and now they are going to lose the general election for nyc mayor because once most new yorkers realize just how much more they'll pay in taxes under him they'll turn to the republican
