Yeah, it's...bad

[Lambsbread]

Yep, Morales is cooked unfortunately. She was a good candidate but just couldn't keep a handle on her organization and became too terminally online.

Guess I'm Team Wiley > Garcia > Morales > nuclear elmo at this point

[Pink Panther]

I wasn't expecting this primary to be this entertaining and interesting, honestly.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Wonder what’s gonna come out about Garcia or Wiley next.

[KaiserDave]

The entire Morales campaign team is out. It's over.

Oof.

F in chat for Morales' hopes of becoming Mayor.

She never had a chance of winning but yikes.

... Jumaane really should have run this time, probably the only thing that could have avoided a further right mayor than De Blasio (I consider Stringer around the same as de Blasio ideologically, obviously some differences though).

Dianne’s volunteer base is now on strike

This is a massive implosion

All my Dianneverse friends have quit and now hate her

[KaiserDave]

Morales is clearly a massive liar

[Lief 🗽]

This also reads like a parody. Throw everyone involved in this campaign in a volcano IMO.

This is what happens when you get too terminally online.

[Oryxslayer]

This is what happens when you get too terminally online.

There's terminally online, and then there's terminally online with polling data to counteract the narrative. This leads to two destructive phenomenon's. First, the campaign and its activists live inside a self-reinforced bubble via the web. Any complaints occur outside the bubble, and any dissent or problems with the campaign are ignored until its too late. However, polling data is one of the few things that can pierce and burst the bubble, and when it does activists are often unable to square the web with reality. The second issue is that activists often come on ones campaign believing it to be the only 'good' one - all the others are pretenders that insufficiently address the activists issues...or lack a marketing campaign geared towards activists. So when data emerges that the campaign isn't gathering momentum, everyone starts pointing the finger. Those usually blamed are other organizers/campaign strategy/marketers, because the candidate and their policies are without fault - after all just look at how popular they are on the web. This all breeds infighting and destruction.

[KaiserDave]

Imagine what a Morales City Hall would have looked like

Mayhem and incompetence

Garcia is too conservative for my taste but at least she knows how to get things done and keep the wheels running

[Lognog]

So it's

1. Wiley

2. Garcia

3. go back to splitting up the 5 boroughs

[Babeuf]

If Wiley can’t capitalize from a Morales implosion to vault herself into respectable double digits she’s cooked. She should be the natural beneficiary with Stringer damaged.

[Born to Slay. Forced to Work.]

How bad of a candidate do you have to be for your volunteers, people who support you so much they go out of their way to help you for free go on strike???

Jumaane really should have run this time, probably the only thing that could have avoided a further right mayor than De Blasio (I consider Stringer around the same as de Blasio ideologically, obviously some differences though).

I'd presume that he'll wanna run when the new Mayor elected this year is term-limited in 2029, as that's also gonna be when he's term-limited out of the Public Advocate's office.
