I love this because so much of the past 20 years can be explained by "influential reporter/public official pretending to be dumb to gain advantage while everyone plays along" and it's nauseating

Sure it's stupid but the mere premise of "entitled holiday travelers demand more single-use products" is a symbol of the abandonment of any respect for resources (some ppl call this 'the environment')

And sadly half the replies are "of course it's right!" yeah no it's not

Nailed it

They've been busy protesting the genocide in Palestine and canvassing/voting for the socialist tney elected mayor of New York.

I agree

it's time to go on offense across the board (primaries, impeaching mfers, offering alternatives, etc). We have the momentum and people want these things to happen

I mean who is feeding all these cats and dogs?

It's true, Chi has way more experience than AOC had then, he's passed popular laws (zapping broker's fees jumps out)

And he has a name as a CM and is popular within part of same district

And the left has way more momentum now (volunteers at the ready)

And Dem leadership is far less popular now

Hey what was Joe Crowley's approval rating when AOC ran against him? Wld be great to have that context

Also, it doesn't matter a ton given that so many in the district (as in all) aren't huge primary voters or high info voters

Jeffries is 1 face of national Dem party that has dogshit approval

Strong work here but a serious question: What do you call Alvin Bragg effectively declining to indict Eric Adams after the federal charges debacle?

I know, it was like 'no way the governor of a blue state would blow off climate laws to the point enviro orgs would have to sue her (and win)'

And then she did (just before approving a pipeline)!

You mean like police occasionally pulling over any of the 10-15 demonstrably homicidal drivers at any given moment on the Belt Parkway?

100%

The point of a Chi Osse campaign is to hear him say "You're against everyone getting healthcare, Hakeem? Because your donors say so?"

Z knows but is using it as an opportunity to share/teach, no?

Smashed that buy button and it was incredibly satisfying to see an email stating "Your Sock of Shit Order has been confirmed"

I always think about this when i read comments about New York flby Vickie Paladino or some other vile maga figure: what exactly do they think they have to offer this city?

It wouldn't be the kind of place anyone cool would want to live -- and the theater/music/art/lit scene would suck

I feel bad for people who like pizza and don't live close to Queens

Lots of good points but Joy Reid was bad across the board. Junk broadcasts full of silly speculation that made her sound like a hack every time she was on air. Unfair to Mehdi to group them together
