Actress Cynthia Nixon of Sex and the City to run for NY Governor

[publicunofficial]

New York’s fusion system is so bizarre.

Anyways: Cuomo is horrible, and I wish Miner had taken him on instead of leaving it to Nixon. She could have given him a real run, I think.

Nixon is running a better campaign than I've seen from most professional politicians.

Something seems off about a rich white person lecturing about this.

After seeing that tweet + reaction gif



(in all seriousness, she isn't wrong about Monsanto, but she's drifting down the "muh evil cis white males are rapist Hitlers" path. Also she's rich and white as hell lol)

She's not calling to punish rich and white people, or males. She's calling to release the people in jail for marijuana, who are disproportionately not rich and white. If she had her way, then rich white males can continue to make a profit off marijuana and people don't get locked up for it anymore. How does anyone lose?

The better question is why is everyone being so insecure and defensive when she is calling for fairness for those locked up for marijuana possession, who -by the way- happen to be disproportionately minorities.

Kind of ironic people could read calling for marijuana legalization as anti-white male, since white men are the demographic group most supportive of it.

MFW Cynthia Nixon is campaigning against Mario Cuomo's son in New York by attacking "rich whites."

Once again she is not calling to punish rich whites. She is calling for no one to be punished for something that it's ridiculous is illegal.

[Dr. MB]

The point's good. We should release everyone locked up for, well, all drug possession.

But, yeah, the way she got it across could've been thought a bit better.

Seriously, people are having the weirdest reactions to this.

It's almost as if her point is unimpeachable so they need to burn down their straw men

That tweet wasn't just calling for legalization, if it was no one would be saying anything.

She very easily could have said current cannabis policy is wrong and hurts minority communities disproportionately, and left it at that. But instead came off like a tumblr post calling people to arms against people whose opinions are shifting towards her own, all it was missing was #latecapitalism at the end. She could go after police unions, big pharma, or any of the major road blocks to legalization, she instead tries desperately to score easy points with the far left by attacking "rich white men" who support legalization.

This is hilarious.

Honestly she does have a good point.  People shouldn't sit in prison for using marijuana, but I think she could've worded it better.

Atlas people are overreacting as usual though, she doesn't sound sexist to me.

New York state politics seems weird as f**k. Very entertaining.

LOL, it seems if your state is over a certain size, your politics will be somewhat bizarre, and then each state has its own flavor (like your politicians winding up in jail for mine!) ... New York's seems hilarious and exactly what I would expect.

The 2016 Presidential election would like a word. I'm not saying it was entirely Sanders' fault but it kind of contradicts that assertion. Otherwise I would probably agree with you in most cases.

Bernie didn't cost Hillary the election.

She comes across quite well, and her “Choose the better Nixon, not the worse Cuomo” punchline was entertaining.

I agree with this. She came off as competent and well versed on the issues. Cuomo would be foolish to underestimate her. I worry about her chances in a general election though.

Man, it's New York. There's no statewide Republican bench there.

Very normal.
