WTF is happening in New York?

[KillerFord1977]

The silent majority that is upset and doesnt vote in non Presidential elections needs to get off their derriere and vote against this moron.
The left will turn out and outvote the right.

Some NY stats:

• The overall turnout rate of eligible voters in New York in the 2024 presidential general election was 60.4%. The national average for the same year was 64.1%.

• The overall turnout rate of eligible voters in New York in the 2022 midterm general election was 42.5%.

This guy isn’t helping in NY either. Last poll showed him at 11%, which, if he dropped out since there’s no way he’s getting close, would be 45% if added to Cuomo’s recent 34% AND ahead of Mamdani’s 44%. On a side note, read an article said NYs early voting is up 400%, mostly voters 50+, so there is hope, however slight.

Sliwa exploits taxpayer funds instead of dropping out

Despite Eric Adams's endorsement, Mamdani will most likely win on Nov. 4 if Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa does not drop out of the race.

That early voting stat is interesting...perhaps like ol' Hilary the media has just been slanting everything to make it look like a slam dunk to keep the turnout low. I can only hope that is the case.....

If NYC gets any worse than it already is, they might have to send "Snake" Plissken (aka @Annihilator) in to clean things up.

The article…but also from the media, so could just be bait and switch.

NYC VOTES 2025: Early voting surges 400% as new poll finds Cuomo has cut Mamdani's lead in half

The first three days of early voting in NYC saw massive turnout numbers—surpassing the entire nine-day period of early voting in the 2021 mayor’s race.

50+ voters are the largest block of the population moving toward voting hard left these days. Heard several reports about it. Seems the cause is being attributed to main stream media. Old(er) folks are the only ones ingesting the bulk of their news from the MSM....and they are being converted (as the MSM intends). Look at all the blue-hairs in the No Kings protests nationwide. Mostly retired seniors.

I can't vouch for this stuff....just heard it on AM radio...

Unfortunately he is in the lead. When he takes over the city will go down the rest of the drain. Somebody other than Como should have run against him.

There were 3 other candidates. Any of them would have been better than Mamdani.
Andrew Cuomo, Eric Adams, and Curtis Sliwa. Sliwa was probably the best candidate but he never had a shot at winning.
Adams dropped out to give one of the other two a chance. But Mamdani is going to win, and he's going to put the finishing touches on turning that city into an absolute shithole that it will never recover from.

If you ever had wants to visit, I suggest you go ASAP before he destroys it.

I spent some time in New York in the early 70's on protection details during the United Nations General Assembly. Being a country boy, I kept asking myself, why the heck anyone would want to live there? Although I will give them, they do have some great restaurants, but not enough for me to ever want to go back.

 

[Grayfox]

I was in New York once. Family vacation, not my choice. I was just a kid. 12-13 years old. it was the middle 1960s. The place wasn't so bad back then. But I still didn't like it. I've never had any desire to go back.

While true , that goes over the heads of a majority of NYC voters .

 

[Biggfoot44]

You also

Yeah. Racist much?

You also left out virulently Antiseminite .

Most teachers are flaming liberals and teach the students their ideology. Teachers should never teach their pollical or religious beliefs. just teach the subject you are educated in

That train left the dock a long time ago .

It's been about 3 generations now the the Education Departments of all universities were taken over by Leftists , and so it's baked into all schools everywhere , all school boards , all teacher certifications in every state .

The descenters are mainly a few old farts about to retire .

The last time I was there was Christmas 2005. It’s a cool place to visit especially at Christmas but would never want to live there. I never did the New Year’s Eve thing and you couldn’t pay me enough to.
Just my opinion…Jersey had better pizza.

I don't like my pizza folded in half, either, I don't care what New Yorkers say

Free bus rides? That'll get crime out of the subways.

Too much concrete there for me, besides any time I go north of the Mason-Dixon Line I have to burn the shoes I wore since they had touched northern earth. Old southern family tradition.
