NYC Mayor/2021 Megathread

[Horus]

While he still has my support, Yang is disappointing. We need a better messenger for UBI.

Marilyn Strickland perhaps?

[Horus]

The most intense detractors of Eric Adams imply that he is both a closet Republican reactionary while also being a vicious anti-Semitic Black separatist.

While I broadly agree with the rest of your post, black separatism and NoI rhetoric are inherently right wing. Black separatists, Israelites etc are anti interracial marriage, homophobic and extremely xenophobic. Farrakhan is only associated with the left because of clueless media personalities who think Black radical automatically = leftist.

[Horus]

Did Garcia benefit from the debate?

Would be nice if we got some new polling on this race...

Didn’t seem to matter.

(For what it’s worth, my friend group of around 15 gay men in Manhattan who all watched the debate together had 100% first-round support for Garcia. This group was splintered among Stringer, Yang, McGuire, Wiley, Morales and a lot of undecided a month ago.)

I’m so incredibly jealous I want a group of 15 gay men in Manhattan, instead I have two on a good day in Columbia

You'll have a lot more fun with 15 gay men in midtown Atlanta than you would with 15 gay men in Manhattan

[Horus]

I guess Garcia it is. Adams has a shady history, Wiley is overwoke, Yang is a shadow of his 2020 self and Stringer is a sex pest.

[Horus]

Rankings if I were a NYC resident

1. Garcia
2. Donovan
3. Wiley
4. Yang
5. McGuire
6. Stringer
7. Adams

[Horus]

That was a good statement from Wiley. I'd probably move her up to 2nd if I were a New Yorker. Still think Garcia is the right person for the moment, though she's without a doubt a bit more conservative than I'd like, she's far superior to Adams (his views on online schooling alone should've sunk him) and not an inexperienced gaffe machine like Yang.

[Horus]

Adams' views on education alone are disgusting. Praying for the good people of NY.

What's Andrew Yang going to be doing now that he lost the New York City mayoral Democratic primary?  Try again four years from now?  Attempt another quixotic run for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2024?  Or just stick to the private sector?  

Mayor of Atlanta is open if he just wants to run for random mayorships

Please no.
