what should upstaters do? wait for GE and Chevy to hire in Schenectady and Tonawanda again? as long as the economic fate of upstate is dictated by the whims of the City, there won't be any big new factory built, or anything that would bring any large number of jobs in. I mean the proof is in the pudding, anywhere I travel in south and west I meet people from upstate.

I'm sorry, what?

Build our own drat factories as a large scale effort in creating hubs of renewable energy across the country.

More importantly, Trump said he cared about these places, that he cared about the forgotten men and women of this country. Yeah no poo poo he didn't, he's a real estate developer from new york city; but that populist message moved people. This is the clearest signal possible that he didn't.

Why does NYC keep electing governors who screw the city? If NYC decided that they wanted some DSA candidate, not much upstate could do about it

The DSA hasn't really put anyone forth yet and they're focusing on more local govt right now. Like I posted earlier with El Yateem in Brooklyn. The Working Families Party (which is how I vote when given the opportunity) would be the ones to watch on challenging Cuomo from the left, but he's also tried his hardest to gently caress them over too. He's a shitstain so you'll get no argument from me there. And personally I prefer a governor who helps the whole state, not just NYC.

One of the problems with what Cuomo is doing in raiding the MTA coffers is that it's not a thing that only he has done. It should be in a lockbox, but he's too busy virtue signaling that he's going to fix the system by adding USB ports to a bus line in the bronx.

You have until 10/13 to change your party affiliation for the 2018 primaries.

New voters can register substantially later.

(Basically the way NY law is written, to vote in a primary, you must have been a registered member of the party in question during the previous general election.)

thanks, this is right. I was independent and then switched but it was too late.

at the very least, "dealmaking centrist" has been proven to go over like a lead balloon among voters and the dem frontrunners for 2020 are doing a much better job of jockeying to the left than cuomo, who sees no need for such frivolities. pretty lol to see his staffer snap back at de blasio for putting presidential ambitions at the forefront when her boss was in LA and SF for the same thing

I can't wait to leave the presidential section blank in 2020 when it's Kamala Harris or some other garbage centrist in leftist clothing like Obama.

harris at least supports medicare for all, while cuomo has admitted through twitter likes that he does not

call me a lovely lefty, but gillibrand is making me take notice through outspoken support for medicare for all, $15 minimum wage, legal weed, and paid family leave. she is certainly doing better than cuomo and de blasio, who is too much of a doofus to run anything resembling an effective campaign. never mind that his first term campaign was proto-sanders

but we'll cross this bridge when we get there, hopefully cuomo gets shoved out of the way. not sure if miner is going to run against him or Katko

yeah I'll never trust Gillibrand and I think everything that comes out of her mouth is horseshit. once a blue dog, always a blue dog.

To change parties and vote in a primary, you have to do it before the previous general election.

This is why registering as an independent in New York State is for idiots and dum dums and babies.
I'd argue the registration rules are loving terrible.

Sure, but the alternative is "all primaries open" which both the dems and the GoP absolutely do not want, less it threaten the entrenched two party system. So learn the rules of the game, and change it that way.

Registering as an independent or a green or whatever is dumb as gently caress.

it's another form of disenfranchising voters and it's dumb as gently caress. I don't need a tut tut to be able to express that? thanks though.
