get that OUT of my face posted:Forward published an article today by some of Julia's old classmates at Columbia and Barnard defending her Judaism. I also took a video at a fundraiser yesterday where she talked about her father telling about his heritage, but I'm not sure where I can upload a video just for the thread to see. quote:All of us lived in Jewish community with Julia at Columbia and Barnard. Look, I'm not going to pretend I have an automatic understanding of American Jews, I'm an Israeli Jew who is also an American, but this sounds really jarring. Is this a way American Jews express their relation to their religion and each other? I'd expect this kind of language from Christian evangelists.

Leecia Eve would be an impressive AG candidate if she weren’t so completely not-credible when cornered about any issue re: Verizon.

i knew nothing about leecia eve other than the fact that she's from buffalo, which is on the opposite side of the state as NYC by the way, word on the street is that ross barkan is a major sexist. my friend went to see him with his girlfriend. ross acknowledged him, but not his girlfriend. somebody at the DSA endorsement meeting months ago said he struck her as not a feminist. i understand what she meant

Honestly, she’s the candidate who surprised me the most in this AG race - I like her waaaaaay more than I expected to, and if it weren’t for the fact that any time her potential conflicts or the role of the AG in regulating telcos comes up she gets crazy squirrels and evasive, I’d Honestly consider voting for her. Maybe for a different role in the future.

Tappanzee bridge drama: Cuomo wants to dedicate the new bridge before the primary to get more exposure. Problem: the old bridge is in danger of falling on the new bridge and the engineers wont let him open it. Even better, The state already sold the old bridge to a scrap contractor and has no control over it anymore to hurry the process along.

what does it matter, cuomo's up by 40 points because our state is terminally stupid. i know polls shouldn't be trusted so deeply but that's too much of a gap to think that he's going to do anything other than cruise ffs he's not even trying to pretend this is a state race to him. at least cynthia's got the TI endorsement https://twitter.com/Tip/status/1039201171968339969 get that OUT of my face has issued a correction as of 02:56 on Sep 11, 2018 |

Politicians always gently caress you over, at least go with the one that hasn't explicitly gone out of their way to do so. At least my two cents for Cuomo and Hillary in 2016, from my exp and ppl I know. e: it's an extreme sense of cynicism, coupled with a completely justified fear of what politics might usher in. Ofc not all black ppl are the same.

2018 NY State Primaries Megapost New York had its federal primaries already. Our state primaries are held later in the year, presumably to reduce turnout. New York politics kinda sucks! Statewide races:
https://twitter.com/TweetBenMax/status/1039117165503369217 While polls can be wrong, I don't think Nixon has a chance in hell at beating Cuomo. The Attorney General and Lieutenant Governor races seem more wide-open. State Legislature Races In my previous post laying out New York City and State politics, something very important happened. Through a deal reached by Gov. Cuomo, the main Democratic caucus of the State Senate and the rogue Independent Democratic Caucus (IDC) were reunited. However, they're still a seat short of the majority thanks to Simcha Felder (of the heavily Orthodox Jewish Brooklyn neighborhoods of Midwood and Borough Park, as well as much of Kensington and part of Bensonhurst) remaining in the Republican caucus. What hasn't changed is anger against the now ex-IDC senators. All of them have challengers, each with a range of chances at knocking out incumbents.
Bonus State Senate races not involved with the IDC:
