NYC Mayor/2021 Megathread

With her in charge, maybe NYC will finally get the rat genocide it deserves. One can hope!

Oh God, please.  The day they finally get rid of the rats will be the day New Yorkers sit back and wonder how they lived with the rats for so long.

New Yorkers have a higher chance of biting each other than the rats to New Yorkers, they’re aggressive over there like that

If Adams loses the primary, does he wage a write in campaign?

I doubt it.  He wouldn’t want to risk electing Silwa

Even if Adams runs a write-in campaign, there's no way Silwa is elected. Silwa isn't a moderate like Giuliani was (at the time) or Bloomberg. He's a hard-right conservative that wouldn't win more than maybe Staten Island, even in a three-way race.

NYC has also changed a lot in the interim. I don't think Bloomberg could win today as a Republican, and Giuliani certainly couldn't (not modern Giuliani of course, but also not 1993 Giuliani).

Anyway, I personally doubt Adams would launch a write-in campaign - as I pointed out earlier, he's not really that popular or loved, even though he's put in the work to be the boss of a significant political machine in the city. Nor is Garcia disliked enough among the right groups for it to be viable; the story would be different if the Democratic nominee were someone like Tiffany Caban.

de Blasio did well in 2013 on Staten Island for a progressive Democrat, because Joe Lhota, who was a technocratic Giuliani Republican who was pro-business, was the MTA chair.

SI has transportation problems, and Lhota was an underwhelming candidate.

In 2017, Malliotakis won SI because she was a hometown favorite.

Adams centered his campaign around crime, being a consensus builder with the police-community relations.....

Adams would win SI over Sliwa by 2-3 points.....

MSNBC today reported on Monring Joe that the software company that invented the software for the counting multiple times offered assistance to the Board of Elections before the ballots were counted and they were repeatedly rejected. This board is a joke.

Hoping Adams pulls it out over Garcia.

Ideally, Wiley, but fewer Garcia fans ranked her than the inverse. Stay classy, Garcia fans.

There is now a tentative plan to release them tomorrow, but no absolute guarantee. If it means they don't screw up again then we should be happy to wait.

Bad news for Adams, and Wasserman's theory if he was still committed to it in any capacity.

NYTimes had an editorial yesterday calling for the BOE to be abolished and replaced. Unfortunately, it requires an amendment to the state constitution to do so, and I'm sure Cuomo would refuse because he is trash.

AFAIK, Cuomo has no say on NY Constitutional Amendments. They just need to be passed by 2 successive sessions of the legislature and then voted on by the people.

Ah, didn't know that. Maybe it will happen then, but it will take a while.

Note that not all these absentees will be accepted. NYC has a fairly high rejection rate.

I will still support whoever is the nominee, but I despise the gentrification of Manhattan and those downtown areas of Brooklyn. It's clear to me that Adams followed by Wiley was most popular in the real New York. If all the gentrifiers supported Garcia, there must be a reason for that, she must not be interested in fixing the housing crisis.

Pretty superficial analysis. First, gentrified areas are still "real", whether you like them or not or support certain patterns of development.

I'm sorry, you don't get to decide who the "real" New Yorkers are. That's completely ridiculous

I can say what I want, and I'm going to call the gentrification that has destroyed Manhattan what it is. Garcia is their candidate.

New York just needs a complete overhaul, the politicians, and their bureaucracy, are all like one fire

I hate to tell you, but you’re a gentrifier, and Wiley was the gentrifiers’ candidate. Garcia was the candidate of the rich people who have been in NYC all along; it’s not like Wall Street or Midtown or the Upper East Side were invented in the 1980s.

Wiley definitely struck me as the candidate of NIMBY-ish lefties who claim they wanna fight gentrification and displacement but won't actually do anything other than retweet things.

You get that--for better or worse--nobody has a bigger vested interest in making New York more affordable than Manhattan renters, right? The opposite applies to outer borough homeowners regardless of class.

Although if you really wish you based your vote on whoever got the fewest first prefs in Chelsea, Yang was your guy.

You mean the developers and their children? That doesn't make a great case for her.

Nah, when you have a trust fund you don't care. These people were more upset about temporary COVID housing for homeless people being near their UWS walkup than about the average rent.

Yang is just Garcia's sidekick.
