Nicely done, Ross. I find it slightly disconcerting that I'm starting to develop an opinion about the mayoral race. Next I'll be complaining about the inability to get a decent bagel, honking my horn at slight delays, and the like. Keep up the good work!
And now we arrive at the heart of why our country is disintegrating into a shithole. U need us to stick a knife in one another so badly that yall will make a sex criminal into president and a sex criminal into mayor
Question: how is RCV going to affect the mayoral race? I assume Cuomo would be the frontrunner in round one, but then all the other candidates would Voltron into a single Anti-Cuomo who would cross the finish line. (Unless... IDK, maybe people put Cuomo fifth on their ballots as a bulwark against Adams?)
There will be a lot of organizing to that effect btw now and June. As a random example from yesterday, New Kings Democrats endorsed four candidates (not Cuomo or Adams), and several entities have started pushing "Rank anyone but Cuomo" or "Rank anyone but Cuomo or Adams"
You left out the 7 line extension and the East Side Access project. Both huge wastes of money. The latter especially is the worst public infrastructure project in New York in my lifetime in terms of a cost/benefit ratio.
Ahhhh...but he can act tough like the other guy and just maybe knows how to keep "him" at bay......And I never admired A.C. like one could admire his father ..... however.....who else can stand up to the vile bully...... I'm a one issue voter this time around.....
I'm really not convinced here. You're basically arguing that he can't win primarily on name recognition and running as a masculine strongman, but in the last phase of '21 that was basically how Adams won - people voted for the cop they knew over a bunch of women they didn't. And "strongman" is the political vibe in the country right now.
Cuomo is going to sweep up a lot of the Republican vote (see one of the comments below) and a ton of the low-information, "life was better before the pandemic when this guy was in charge" vote. Let's call that 35%. The other candidates would fragment the other 65% into a bunch of 8-10%s, and then RCV would roll Cuomo up to 51% on third and fourth choices as other candidates can't break 20-25%, even with co-marketing agreements.
No, he is not. Unfortunately, opponents to him will focus on sexual harassment instead of the far more devastating nursing home scandal during COVID. He allowed nursing home residents hospitalized with COVID discharged back to nursing home. This led to thousands of deaths

haha yes, more of this content incoming
A great analysis. The deregulating of rent-stabilizing apartments is unforgivable.
My fave portrait of his old man is by the late, great Richard Thompson.

oh that's a great Mario!
Excellent Cuomo summary.
Let's draft Letitia James.
Cuomo has lost my trust.
Tish would be very strong but appears to be passing on it. I think it's a mistake. She may never be governor at City Hall offers some real glory.
Ditto Kathryn Garcia? I haven’t heard her name bandied about recently.
I really hate Cuomo. But if my only choices are him and far-left, soft-on-crime lunatics, I will hold my nose and vote for Cuomo.

I hope so. The failure to do this is what begot an Adams win.

It's too much of a replay of '21.

P.S. I'm a woman
