i volunteered with them since the platform was the most straightforward leftist plan presented by any candidate but all the street level canvassing strategy was 100% idpol PR bullshit, very alienating for a lot of people I imagine. the same people she was ostensibly trying to help! i wasn't involved long before it all imploded anyway so w/e

the thing about this election (and the 2020 primary I guess) shows that Yang's dopey genial internet-friendly shtick was not impermeable, unlike Adams/Biden's bellicose + offline campaigns or Trump's unique bellicose + troll + online build.

his partnership with Bradley Tusk probably also detracted from his vacuous optimistic outsider shtick and turned him more into a conventional political candidate, except with more gaffes he couldn't bounce away from easily

should've made Chappelle his campaign manager

Nah, I feel similarly. Maybe this is a "I don't know anybody who voted for Richard Nixon" thing on my part, but I can't see tons of people putting Adams in lower ranks. He has less of a jump to 50+1, but it's still based on people who may not have ranked him at all.

I think Adams is in the strongest position (I mean yeah) but it's a 3 way race between Wiley, Garcia, and Adams at this point, and whoever is in the final ranking it will be <5%.

I also think that if you're anyone-but-Adams, Wiley in second is is bad because Garcia probably has more Adams than Wiley in her down ballot, while Wiley probably was WAY more Garcia than Adams in hers.

The problem is that Adams had like no internet presence so it was really easy for the extremely online leftist/progressive crowd to think he was absent from the race.

Same thing happened with Biden

Not really they were never that big or organized. They were always just random Queens and SI dudes cosplaying their Batman fantasies, hyped by the tabloids who could always sell "CRIME IS OUTTA CONTROL" stories. The few still doing it today are just sad boomer chuds who largely just hangout in subway stations trying to get people to take their fliers.

I wouldn't trust right wing twitter dad who is literally a National Review writer to have the pulse of who voters in Brooklyn and the Bronx think have "street cred".

They came up to Albany a few years ago. I don't know that they've done anything about the gun crime problem which is still endemic throughout the region, but they had themselves a few nice day trips, I guess.

He had more energy than Jeb! ever did and Felix's whole take is that for all of Yang's Redditness, he had a positivity and golden retriever level of dopey optimism that made him more mainstream than critics gave him credit for.

Of course, then he picked up Bradley Tusk as his advisor and proceeded to squander all of that goodwill he had amassed during the 2020 primaries.

Yang's supposed to be an insurgent candidate and did everything to squelch any enthusiasm from young ppl. He was too unconnected to gte picked up by the elite money here.

The market here is just too tight. Its bizaare that he thought running for mayor of NYC, the most dogshit position in local politics, was a good idea.
