NYC Mayor/2021 Megathread

[Alcibiades]

Did you guys know that Eric Adams once accused Bronx Borough President Herman Badillo of being a race traitor because he was married to a white Jewish woman? I gotta say, the more I learn about this guy, the less I like him. I'd take Donovan over him if those were the only two choices.

Jeez...that’s the kind of comment that ought to be career-ending.

Is this for real? I thought this was some parody at first. Literally zero subtlety.

Might be better to have people think you live in Jersey than showing them the actual place you live in if it looks like this

Yeah, no way Adams lives there. You can tell by the photo. This is one of the more amusing campaign incidents in a while.

New York will finally have a mayor who truly understands the experience of everyday New Yorkers who, like him, commute in from their home in New Jersey.

Being one such person, I'm well aware that New Yorkers look down on tourists and commuters, but perhaps they should realize that we are a huge net positive for the city. We patronize NYC businesses, work for NYC firms, in almost all cases pay NY state tax since it's higher than NJ and CT, and the only way we use city services is public transit, and that may even be cancelled out by those of us who drive. If the tourists and commuters vanished NYC would be a lot poorer.

That’s all well and good, but I don’t see what it has to do with the fact that maybe the mayor of a city should actually live there.

Happy the candidates that Hillary Clinton and the NYT endorsed lost.

The candidate that Giuliani endorsed won…
