New York City mayoral election, 2017 thread

Dov Hikind is the worst the Jewish-American community has to offer.  The man is an absolute disgrace.

Somehow I doubt that.

I was being semi-sarcastic when I said he should run but calling him the Jewish Al Sharpton is harsh.

I mean ignoring his general bigotry, endorsement of Trump, support for people who commit hate crimes against Muslims, the fact that he dressed up in blackface for a party, has said gay marriage will lead to "incest and beastality," his corruption (pretty sure he was actually indicted at one point), and his support for racial profiling, there's also the fact that hid evidence of over 1,000 cases of sexual abuse at orthodox Yeshivas in NYC.

Not everyone has to agree with gay marriage.

If you want to win election in a major Northeastern city in the present day you do.

Would love for Erica Garner (daughter of Eric who previously contemplated a run for Dan Donovan's seat and was a vocal Sanders supporter in the primary) to run a protest campaign in the primary to push De Blasio to the left on police issues/make sure he doesn't give in the police union.

That's not going to happen.
