The mess that got that fool in office was wild. You had NYC media fearmongering about crime rates and linking them to Bail Reforms that weren't even applicable to the crimes; well-positioned politicians to Adams' left seemed like they were holding off on hopes that Hochul would slip up and the governor's seat would be open; and splitting on the progressive side because Wiley, Garcia, and faux-progressive Yang were all chasing votes. NYC Progressives dropped the ball hard this cycle, no excuses, just a lot of screw-ups.
That's for correcting the bad faith posters again. The way they just make shyt up is fukking wild.

To be fair, this might be the vibe manthis is what ranked choice voting brought us in one of the most liberal places in the country @Rhakim
Crime rates were up though. It’s just that now they’re down and people claim it was fearmongering. Pick an argument.

I pointed out that it was fearmongering at the time because the crimes that were being tied to Bail Reform weren't eligible for the Bail Reforms.
Crime rates were up basically everywhere and it was pretty obvious that the pandemic and lockdowns were having a big impact on the numbers and as things moved back toward normal, the trends are reversing.
Weren't you gassing this guy as presidential material
.Edit: Yup, here's an old post from me addressing both these things.

Since that doesn't have the slightest relevance to our exchange about ranked-choice voting, this is yet another example of bad faith posting.
I support ranked choice voting.
You endorsed a view saying copaganda got him elected. What are you replying to? And this tone policing isn’t an answer.
Which is neither here nor there.
WTF does that have to do with the comment that you quoted me on? I was responding to @nyknick saying:
Tell your boss to make sure that the previous guy finishes out his conversations before the next one comes on shift, cause y'all always get lost as fukk every time you clock in and clock out.
.
I was referring to @88m3, not you, dumbass.
And you were the one who quoted me first, not the other way around. I guess you just assumed that "bad faith posters" meant you. Hit dogs holler, as they say.
Like I said, y'all need to coordinate shift changes better so you don't get lost in the middle of conversations.
