Congrats on Adams for being Biden levels of offline unassailable, and Wiley for having the least scandals to reveal her as being a less-than-leftist liberal, I guess

the entire state is at <400 new cases and 10-15 deaths per day, most of which are probably in right wing shitholes like staten island

Yes he was, though he had a heart attack, I think. Still it was slightly distressing for them to tell us the morgue was full up

You can pick five for mayor. If you’re waffling between Garcia and Morales, rank ‘em both. The only thing that happens if you don’t and one of your other picks doesn’t win is they throw out your ballot sooner before we elect Eric Adams. Rank as many people as you can possibly tolerate.

I’m dumb and in the same boat, really struggling with it. Wiley and morales seem like clear front runners for me, but I have to list 5 people to drop adams as far as I can

who is this art chang guy? his positions seem good from a glance, universal child care, housing. but rich guy? business guy?? rebooting city hall? I’ve left this too late, I shouldn’t have procrastinated my research!!

Garcia seems lovely on criminal justice / nypd stuff, stringer did what he did

I’m no on Adams, Foldenauer, McGuire, paperboy, Taylor, Yang, Wright jr, I think.

so I’m left with Wiley, morales as my top 2

then… Chang, Donovan, Garcia, Stringer (alphabetical order)

honestly just trying to pick 5 to put adams below 5 people.

Wiley
Morales
— subpar at this point
Chang??
Donovan
Stringer??

why does everyone suck

The case for Garcia is that she’s poo poo on NYPD/Justice stuff, but she’s unlikely to gently caress up anything else and is worth ranking as a “likely to actually be one of the last few standing to hold off Eric Adams who is an absolute sociopath who must not be allowed to win at any cost.”

(See also, Andrew Yang, who follows a similar line of reasoning, but where the case for Garcia is “unambitious policy proposals, extremely competently executed”, the case for Yang is “wildly ambitious policy proposals, let’s gently caress around and find out with a neophyte who has no idea how any of this works!”. The fact that both of these people end up being considered ultimately comparable as “well, it’s our best chance to keep out Adams” is an indictment of this city and its politics, and an unfortunate reality that ought to be accepted on a tactical ranked choice ballot that still lets you vote your heart and conscience at the top.)

the mayoral race is a complete joke but depending on your city council district you could have a race that matters. worth double checking although gaming on switch does in fact own.

So is the race so bad that even the fun gimmick candidate isn't problem0free enough to be the unanimous "might as well throw away my vote" conscience vote? Seems like Paperboy should be getting even more traction if there's so many people saying gently caress this race everyone sucks

No clear flagbearer for the non-sociopath vote means too many slots taken up with gamey "ugh gently caress maybe this one will beat Adams" picks.

I ranked Stringer, the guy running on his dad's fortune, AND Yang and it ruined the whole day.

I felt I had to rank 5 candidates other people would vote for to try to make adams eat poo poo, probably won’t work though
