Yang blamed unions!!

He's not wrong. Look at what's been going on in Chicago.

Yang will be one of the best mayor's the city has ever had. Can't wait for him to shovel the current loser out of office and install some blessed UBI in a city that so desperately needs it.

This reads like a parody.

Oh dear.

Eric Adams is really, really bad

Why?

• advocated for racial profiling as an NYPD officer
• was a staunch supporter of Louis Farrakhan
• was a self-described conservative Republican and ally of Giuliani until 2002
• called Herman Badillo a race traitor for marrying a Jewish woman
• helped bring about Giuliani’s victory by telling black people not to vote for Dinkins because he condemned the Nation of Islam
• defended domestic abuser Hiram Monserrate until this February

That list is an ideological headache

Christ… every time one of these people open their mouths I think I shouldn’t even bother ranking them.

Disturbing.

Dems on the forum should do research on Silwa.

Certainly he might not agree with most of the leftists on policy but the guys entire life has been devoted to keeping the streets and trains safe and getting help for the most vulnerable in the city. He walks the walk and talks the talk and in todays day and age thats extremely rare. I don't agree with a lot of what he says but I sit on my laptop in suburbia most of the day while he's been living the life for decades now. I can't say sh**t.
