Eric Adams in 2024?

[Wargames]

It’s funny Adam’s is who the powerbrokers want to be a future President. He’s a black man who is just a neoliberal whore aka Republicanlite. Aka the type of democrat who does not outright hate or minorities, gays, and women. Though his policy will hurt those groups for the benefit of the elite. Adam’s is a transactional Mayor with ties to to Israel, police, and anyone else willing to make a donation.

Meanwhile you got a white boy in Beto who is likable and has the balls to go up to the heavily entrenched but DEAD nationally Governor Abbot and call him out on his bullshyt and the party has don’t shyt to highlight that because Beto is more progressive and harder to control.

One politician is still mad about Black Lives Matter though the NYPD has done shyt to stop gun violence, the other had the balls to go into Texas and say “we got to have gun control”

Beto is who they should say “let’s see if we can run him nationally”, meanwhile Adam’s is who they likely will look to support nationally until reality hits and they realize nobody actually likes him.

New York lawmakers vote to decrease public school class sizes

The legislation would cap the number of students in school classrooms at 20 to 25, depending on grade level. Mayor Eric Adams has called it an unfunded mandate that will come at the cost of other school programs.

@storyteller @No1 you gotta drop hit for us on how much of a shytty politician Adams is.

And this nikka has the audacity to run for president.


I have more faith in Beto

It's really annoying watch the typical mechanisms try to package him as a refreshing new face that can thread the needle of progressives and neolibs when I don't know any progressives that like him at all.

This dude has been covering all the articles the NYT has tried to use to push Adams' shytty crime reform push...his reforms are pretty much to return to all the trash that Giuliani put in place like broken windows policing. He points out all the flaws in each piece.



And just to repeat this...Anyone who's been in/around NYC since 2010 or prior has lived with crime rates higher than what they're stoking panic over now. Factbox: Despite recent uptick, New York City crime down from past decades

‘We’re Democrats, not socialists’: Adams vs. AOC in proxy war over Albany​

Mayor Eric Adams is putting his political muscle behind veteran state Assembly incumbents being challenged by socialist insurgents egged on by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in the upcoming June 28 Democratic primary.

Adams on Tuesday endorsed the re-election of Harlem Assemblywoman Inez dikkens, one of the first black lawmakers to call for changes to the bail law sought by the mayor in Albany.

Ocasio-Cortez is backing housing activist Delsenia Glover in the 70th Assembly District against incumbent dikkens.

Adams also is appearing Tuesday alongside veteran Bronx Assemblyman Michael Benedetto at a Juneteenth event in Co-Op City. He endorsed Benedetto last week.

AOC is backing her former staffer, Jonathan Soto, in the 82nd Assembly District in the northeast Bronx that overlaps with her congressional district.

Political sources said Adams and AOC are engaged in a proxy war over who controls the state Legislature and New York City government — mainstream Democrats or socialists.

“Mayor Adams is laser-focused on public safety and he’s supporting like-minded mainstream Democrats who support his agenda. He’s making it clear where he stands,” said consultant Jonathan Reinish, a former staffer to US Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand.

Adams showed up Tuesday morning at dikkens’ Harlem campaign headquarters, where she also received the blessing of a cadre of Baptist ministers.

“I am proud to endorse my friend, Inez dikkens for re-election. I have a great deal of respect for Inez,” Adams said in a release put out by the dikkens campaign.

“Her consistency over the years is unwavering in her representation of Harlem and the people of our entire state. To do all that is needed for our city right now will take a seasoned leader in Albany, and that is Inez dikkens.”

dikkens said, “I am so blessed to have my ministers and the great mayor, Eric Adams, support my run for re-election. We must work together, united in our convictions to get the resources our community needs and deserves. I am committed to delivering on my promises to create a stronger and more unified Harlem.”

The assemblywoman later told The Post that the upcoming primaries are indeed a political war pitting Adams and Democrats against AOC and the socialists.

“Mayor Adams said from the very beginning that he’s not a socialist. He’s a Democrat,” dikkens said.

“We are Democrats! We are not socialists!,” dikkens said emphatically. “AOC and the socialists are trying to take over New York.”

The AOC-backed challenge to dikkens, 72, is not an idle threat. Democratic socialist Kristin Richardson last year was elected to the City Council representing Harlem.

Benedetto said he was thrilled that Adams was joining him at the Juneteenth event in his district celebrating the emancipation of slaves. It is being held in the auditorium of Co-Op City, the complex of 35 high-rise apartments largely populated by working-class and middle-income black tenants, a key constituency in the upcoming primary.

“AOC is with my opponent. They support the same things like defunding the police,” Benedetto said.

“Mayor Adams is making a statement that he wants level-headed Democrats to move New York City ahead. I share the same values as Mayor Adams. We want good education and safe streets,” added Benedetto.

Benedetto, a retired teacher who chairs the Assembly Education Committee, worked closely with Adams to renew a state law for two years that gives the mayor the authority to oversee the city’s public school system.

Adams has made his distaste for the socialist left well known.

During a campaign fundraiser last summer, Adams told supporters he was in a fight against the Democratic Socialists of America. Ocasio-Cortez is considered the young superstar leader of the DSA.

“I’m no longer running against candidates. I’m running against a movement. All across the country, the DSA socialists are mobilizing to stop Eric Adams,” he said then.

“They realize that if I’m successful, we’re going to start the process of regaining control of our cities.”

Benedetto opponent Jonathan Soto, the former AOC staffer, dismissed Adams’ support of the incumbent.

“Our campaign is focused on the policies rather than the personalities of this race. I’d like to see Mr. Benedetto explain to voters why he is supporting the Mayor’s vision to defund our public schools by $250 million dollars,” Soto said.

“I’m proud to be endorsed by both Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, two leaders who will fight for our children’s future and against defunding our public schools.”

Really good piece about the actual state of crime in New York vs the perception adams created and how that perception is hurting New Yorkers and Adams’ own approval ratings.

And here’s more proof that media impacted perceptions on crime more than the realities.

Really good piece about the actual state of crime in New York vs the perception adams created and how that perception is hurting New Yorkers and Adams’ own approval ratings.

And here’s more proof that media impacted perceptions on crime more than the realities.

I wouldn’t say he created that perception it’s a real concern for NY’ers. Adams took that concern and was able to win off it.

The city went from relative peace sub-300 murders in some of the mid to late 2010’s years to close to 500 after the pandemic. A dramatic increase like that in short time is going to be felt by the communities the murders are taking place.

Then you have a noticeable increase in released felons, increase in homeless population, fiends more brazen and out in the open after the pandemic.

The most Subway crime since ‘97 and everything up across the board from rapes to robberies and it happened quick.

Many NY’ers feel this is just the beginning of the city going downhill.

I'm not saying it's baseless to point at crime increases and homelessness rising as a concern. But it's the outsized coverage of those increases and misplaced blame for the causes of those problems. The increases felt stark compared to recent years, but not in any other context. The city was still safer than other large cities and safer than it was for anyone who was around in 00's or earlier.

I get that seems meaningless if you're in the midst of it, but here's the thing...right now the numbers are starting to show signs of decline again virtually everywhere but murder (which has rapidly slowed, so hopefully that will follow suit next). There's still work to do to hit historic lows, but it's not the descent that it might feel like. It's the difference between "crime rose during the pandemic so we need to fix some things" and "crime has exploded, now we're on a path to destruction." It might feel like the latter, but I'd argue that's perception.

And to throw it in, I think homelessness is a major issue that needs to be addressed better. But I don't think Adams approach is productive or helpful personally, though that's a whole different discussion.
