Making me feel slightly guilty that the only time I think about a subway station as having any sort of characteristics is when I find transferring there annoying (e.g. Broadway Junction).

But guessing how things work in NYC, whoever was writing free Palestine got arrested for antisemitism probably. That area is weird, Laura Whitehorn, Dr. Ruth and other really well known radicals/intellectual live around there. ughhhh has issued a correction as of 02:52 on May 27, 2021 |

About loving time: https://twitter.com/NewYorkStateAG/status/1397952225935335430 A long overdue response to what's reported here. Tl;dr: Rensselaer County is controlled by Republicans and Troy has a lot of POC, many of whom vote Democrat, so of course they make sure to put the early voting site, mandated by the state, as far from the city center as possible. Before the state mandated a site in the largest municipality in a county, they made sure to put the two early voting sites on opposite sides of the county from Troy.

apparently the morales campaign just laid off a bunch of union organizers and in response organizers are calling for work stoppages from volunteers. https://twitter.com/mayoralesunion/status/1398037672019496966?s=20 idk seems like a bad move to take 3 weeks before election day when youre trying to be the lefty candidate!!

I thought ranked choice voting would make the typical 'lesser of two evils' 'hold your nose' voting experience more palatable, but jesus I genuinely don't want to put any of these disgusting losers on my ballot, much less five of them.

Is Maya Wiley bad also? I was torn between Wiley and Morales, and was more impressed by Wiley's debate performance. The union news for Morales ain't great.

Wiley's pretty okay and I think she's just bumped up to #1 for me after this. A few dumb little errors early on (parking placards, stuff like that) but I can't remember anything substantially bad.

My five are: 1) Curtis Sliwa 2) Pizza Rat 3) Garcia until Tuesday, when footage comes out of her feeding a baby to a pit of factory farmed hogs 4) Chirlane McCray 5) The Twin Towers ...I'm sad y'all (Ed real talk Wiley and Garcia still seem fine. I guess the Obama skeleton guy?)

Also he was Obama's HUD secretary and had no idea what an actual home costs in the city (because again rich trust fund kid) and then after showing his rear end in the NYT kept emailing reporters like "Well AKSHULLY guys I meant average tax assessment I didn't understand the question that doesn't count ok."

Also random question: For RCV does the 50%+1 line include ballots where all the ranked choices have been eliminated?

A ballot which has no names remaining drops out and no longer affects the tallies. It's 50%+1 of all the ballots involved in that round of vote counting, so it's ballots that had that candidate's name as one of the 5.

Ok that's good to know because I guess it argues for not putting joke "gently caress it" candidates in 4 or 5 versus "this person seems to kinda suck but is still acceptable over some alternatives" because your ballot would be alive and raise the bar that terrible poo poo candidates like Adams or Yang would need to clear.

Kind of, but if you put a marginal candidate 4 or 5, aren't they just going to get knocked out before your 1-3? The organizers I was talking to (before Morales imploded) were saying Yang for 5 because stupid bloomberg without the money is better than competent, connected bootlicker Adams. Which made me very sad, but I'm having a hard time arguing with it.

I mean if you think "defunding the police" means abolishing the police then yes her stated platform of ~10% budget cut for NYPD isn't "defunding the police". Trying to triangulate like that does have the stink surrender to it though.

Wiley still seems the best bet unless as it seems inevitable a previous murder pops up. But yeah this instability is making ppl confused. Even my well meaning lib and leftie friends on FB dont know who to vote for.

I thought she like threw a salad comb at a rescue dog or something. https://gothamist.com/news/dissent-threatens-implode-dianne-moraless-mayoral-campaign quote:That same afternoon, the organizers announced a work stoppage after the four women leading the unionization efforts were fired over email just prior to a staff meeting. Asked about the firings, Morales said she did not know who was leading the unionization efforts. “Those decisions were made independent of anything else,” she said. quote:Morales did not comment directly on the question of whether her staff was underpaid. “I was not directly overseeing salaries or the staff pattern. But when things were brought to my attention, I responded to them immediately.” So this basically tells me 1) Morales' campaign is totally broke and 2) She is probably absolutely terrible at running any organization of more than like 15 people. It seems the lovely people in question did eventually get fired but after like 3 days of just absolute chaos on her campaign and all the most senior people leaving. The rest of the article is just her pitching excuses like "well I didn't know but once I knew I decided to do something" and "well we've had a lot of people join recently". "Guys being charge of a campaign with like 80 random people you've never met is really hard okay? Please make me mayor."
