You know what’s funny (sad actually) in reality is all the Trumpeters thinking their vote will matter in Cuomo’s Blue controlled NY Dictatorship.. it won’t mean sh*t. The electoral vote is going to Biden.. but please, keep shaking your fists like the educated superiors you all think you are.
It should be evident by now that the N.Y. republicans don’t have any power here. Take a look at how many actually voted to give Cuomo his long overplayed executive powers.. they’re on the same team and payroll.. your tax dollars.
If you want a vote that counts for anything then vote Jo Jorgensen on the POTUS line. Go ahead and vote Red down tickets, that’s fine (except where there’s a Libertarian running who will do something to restore your freedoms) But keeping the Libertarian ballot access this year will get you the opportunity to fight Cuomo in the next governors run in ‘22. The Libertarians made NY history in 2018 with Larry Sharpe and he’s continuing to tour all 62 Counties yearly.. you’re not finding a more loyal advocate and activist/candidate from any Republican or Democrat anywhere in the Nation.
Don’t forget.. Molinarfaux was a Cuomo lackey. The joke was on you and it was had by them dining at the same table as they watched you all think your vote mattered.. they profited off your ignorance. 🤷♂️
You may not agree with the Libertarians on all issues but it’s for damned sure they will remove draconian policies and preserve your rights.
Don’t give me the third party can’t win garbage either.. that’s just dumb based on simple math and this isn’t about winning the seat for president anyway, it’s about
making your N.Y. vote mean something this year with the LBT line and getting better Democrats and better Republicans by showing them they need to step up their accountability.
Made in Chyna 🤡

Congrats to Kiara St. James - an amazing advocate and friend! This is some well deserved recognition Kiara!
This type of serious voter suppression better not be on the agenda for NY state!!! I will vote in person and I don't need any type of affidavit to do so!!!
If you’d like the truth about the 2016 election purge, I’m no longer under a gag order. I’d like the truth to come out and those involved held accountable. I was the Deputy Chief of the Brooklyn office at the time aka sacrificial lamb
For those who think that the City is especially targeting the Upper West Side, please note that this is NOT the case.
"Four of the 63 hotels used thus far have been located on the Upper West Side: the Lucerne, the Belleclaire, the Belnord, and Park West Hotel. The Lucerne, the Belleclaire, and the Belnord – which have faced the brunt of the opposition – are sheltering men without families, and the Park West Hotel is doing the same for women without families. "
I have been saying for years that executive salaries at our non-profits are too high.. Local politicians rest in these jobs in between elected gigs or when they retire from public office.
Chris Quinn and David Greenfeld each earn over $200,000 (I think) Stephen Levin is shopping himself for a job of at least 200,000.... he is term limited.. These jobs are obtained through lobbying and cronyism but need to be redefined as folks with professional experience in the field.. Too much money for those who are connected... Monies should be used for services for those in need.. Salary caps based on actual on the ground experience... not sitting on a council committee should be set.. Starting salary should be 100.000
Hannah Noel Harper, Elizabeth Smith, Christin Marie Hoffman, Claudia Carr please read this article before changing any plans to travel.
swearing off tainted monies and accepting it( under various covers )are too different things... Is the democratic party also
swearing off money from the Greater New York Hospital Association and the Nursing Home Industry..
ask Cuomo and DeBlasio. please
I tend to like labor unions but . . .
Most of us here in NYC know what kind of condescending twat Michael Bloomberg has always been. “Stop and Frisk” was his most public sh*tshow, but far from his only. Below are just a few of his greatest sh*ts:
He ran for mayor of NYC on the GOP ticket so he wouldn’t have to be bothered with the Democratic primary and ran unopposed for the GOP nomination, so he is a craven opportunist. He also supported delaying the 2001 mayoral election after 9/11 so he could further outspend the Democratic nominee.
He, along with Ghouliani, let the subways fall into the worst state of neglect since the 70’s, and has gleefully attacked De Blasio for not undoing 20 years of neglect by two GOP mayors, Pataki and a GOP-controlled state senate fast enough.
In 2010, he told a NYC school teacher who had escaped prostitution she had to go back to sucking dick for money by forcing her out of her job.
Allowed St. Vincent’s Hospital to be torn down and replaced with condos. He could have saved it by simply opening his check book.
Tried to give away the West Side rail yards for a fraction of their worth as part of his asinine bid to host The Olympics and provide the Jets with a new home. The city would have been on the hook for billions in infrastructure improvements to make the site viable for building. Still managed a $6 Billion giveaway deal for the resultant West Side Railyards nightmare, complete with giant Schwarma and Thanos Tower.
Tried to privatize Stuytown on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, which would have forced tens of thousands of people out of affordable public housing and made billions for his real estate pals, including Trump.
Did nothing to stop the closing of dozens of GLBTQ businesses via gentrification-driven rent spikes and homophobic community boards, pressured the shortening of the Pride March route below St. Patrick’s and rejected the plan to allow Pridefest to move to 8th Ave. from 14th to 23rd Sts. despite EVERY business on the strip begging for it.
Did nothing to stop the further union-busting and segregation of NYC’s public schools by “charter”(private) schools.
Bought himself a third term by exploiting a loophole in the new term limits law to run again and spent ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS to again run essentially unopposed.
Pushed for a moronic soda cup size restriction rather than an expansion of school physical fitness budgets and insurance coverage of gym memberships.
Gave the Yankees a $1.5 BILLION sweetheart stadium deal that they absolutely did not need.
