Yes, you're supporting him and making candidates like him more viable.

it means whatever you like it to mean (to me it meant a final, small denouement of the time I spent in Iowa)

the general election might as well be on mars for all the consideration it's worth right now

Postmodernity means the exhilarating freedom to pursue anything, yet mind-boggling uncertainty as to what is worth pursuing and in the name of what one should pursue it.
Getting a lot of messages about Jewish voters being turned away in District 48, being told that their candidate is not on the ballot and/or being told to just sign something but not being given ballots.

it means absolutely nothing. no amount of delegates will get joe to move left. and it doesn't make candidates like him more viable as we've just seen the lengths the national party and its figureheads will go to stymying them.

He’s the classic Queens city council backbencher—not really personally remarkable in any discernible way and a total creature of the machine. REBNY went hard at the end for him so you know he’s just going to be status quo bullshit.

This is really strange. I only started getting serious mailings from Fein in the past few weeks; I knew he was running, but his campaigning in Troy, at least, was lackluster. I'm surprised at how close it is. Maybe he had better presence in Albany.

Albany County today announced that at least eleven people have tested positive for COVID-19 in connection with a large party that occurred over the Fourth of July weekend in the student neighborhood in the city of Albany. The Albany County Department of Health is working swiftly to identify anyone else who may have been present at this event, which spanned several backyards on Hudson Avenue, and encourage them to get tested. If you attended this party, we strongly encourage you to call the Albany County Department of Health

quote:

In New York City alone, the local Board of Elections mailed out more than 778,000 ballots, and recorded 408,000 of them returned. Nearly 50 percent of the total vote of this primary was through absentee ballots, compared to previous elections when the rate hovered closer to single-digit percentages of the total.

...

“The City Board did not meet its timely requirement,” State Board of Elections Democratic Co-chair Douglas Kellner testified in reference to the New York City Board of Elections mailing absentee ballots.

“I understand the city thinks it did the best it could,” Kellner continued, “but I think they failed to scale up.”

He also testified about his deep distrust of the postal service, fomented by decades of experience as a commissioner for the New York City and State Board of Elections, where the post office failed to deliver mail to entire neighborhoods.

“For someone like me who is very concerned about election integrity issues, we go to great lengths to make sure every vote is counted and then we ignore this huge gap,” said Kellner, referring to mistakes by the postal service.

Those remarks drew a sharp rebuke from Stephen Kitzinger, senior counsel with the City Law Department, who was representing the New York City Board of Elections. He reminded Kellner that dozens of New York City Board of Elections workers were stricken with Covid-19 and several died.

Kellner acknowledged those facts but added, “My view is they threw up their hands.”

Despite his criticism, Kellner also testified strongly against the relief sought by the plaintiffs. “You will create havoc if you order it for this election,” Kellner told Judge Torres.

So what's the deal with getting a mail-in ballot in New York? Do we still have to just lie and apply for an absentee ballot if we don't want to go to the polls or is there any movement by the powers that be to push something through to make it easier?

Same as the primary election a few weeks back- you won't have to lie, they will allow you to put "I don't want to catch the covids" as the reason on your absentee ballot application so everyone in the city can be eligible through at worst a slight exaggeration.

You should be much more worried about what is currently happening to USPS, requesting the ballot and filling it out are not going to be the hard parts.
