Cynthia Nixon of "Sex in the City" fame pulls up on Cuomo, announces run for Governor

[BigMoneyGrip]

I'm torn, while I like what I have heard so far and am not a fan of Cuomo's. I am completely against celebrities becoming politicians.
Re-reading my last sentence I'm realizing the pros outweigh the cons. Let's fukkin' go!

Although she’s a celeb has been apart of mayor deblasio campaign and he’s done a lot of grass roots work and community organizing.. sounds familiar? She didn’t just come off the street into politics breh

And Zephyr Teachout is her Treasurer. She got her ducks in a row. She's on that Progressive Wave heavy. I fukks with it.

And that’s why I think she’s going to beat Cuomo in the primary. Upstate Dems are fed up with him only focusing on NYC and having a war with Deblasio.. Cuomo spending taxpayer money to the tune of 30 mill a year in OT and hotels for state police to patrol NYC when NYC already have a 35,000 maned police force.

Word, NYC saved him last election from Teachout. Progressive platform + celebrity status can split NYC easy. She definitely has a chance.

Sounds like smoke to me.

reading lines on TV screens = political prowess

Sarcasm detected.

The only requirements to be POTUS is to be 35 years old and born in United States territory.

Breh upstate is DYING for funding man, as someone who has to spend a solid amount of time around Albany and the upstate area, the fukking place is a dump full of terrible infrastructure and holy shyt are the roads bad. It really does feel like it's been abandoned. I can see why people are fed up.

Cynthia Nixon’s Embrace of Political Activism

Soon enough, Ms. Nixon met Ms. Marinoni, who until recently worked for the Alliance for Quality Education, as well as Mr. de Blasio.

“Bill was then, as he is now, very much the education guy,” Ms. Nixon said. “Not only from being a public school parent himself, but sitting on school boards and seeing as I see that public schools are the cornerstone to how our city works and how our city offers opportunity and plans for its economic future.”

Similarly, she’s uneasy with the changing face of New York and its growing disparity of wealth. She can rattle off statistics about the percentage of children living in poverty in the city today (30 percent), and is eager for a mayor who she thinks will fight harder to secure affordable housing for the poor and the middle class.

“I’ve got to say, I’m not anti-Chris Quinn,” Ms. Nixon said. “I worked alongside her in the marriage fight, and I believe she was incredibly eloquent and incredibly effective. But apart from that particular gay issue, I don’t see a lot of stuff where I line up with her.”

And as Ms. Nixon sees it, there’s something rather nice about finally being at a point when an openly lesbian actress can oppose an openly lesbian politician. “I think it’s a sign of progress,” she said. “It’s like the smoke has cleared in some way and gays, blacks, Caucasians and everybody is able to see beyond the person that might look like them, and go more for the person’s voting record or the person’s plan for the city.”

Don't just look at the fact she's a celebrity and dismiss her. She has a history of political activism and involvement, already showing signs of good connections too. Cuomo is the absolute bottom of the barrell but he has massive funding that makes it virtually impossible to beat him. At least she has name value and recognition going in that gives her a shot and so far.
