He'd probably be worse that Bloomberg. Bloomberg was a fairly competent administrator, he just didn't give a poo poo about anything unless it was important to millionaires or the donor industries of Wall St and Real Estate. Yang would just be an endless amount of reddit ideas guy bullshit. He lose half the city budget to some Musk level conman scheme within the first year.

Tulip posted:If the legends from my office (Medicaid) are anything to go by, Bloomberg was a staggeringly incompetent administrator. It feels like 75% of the work we do is cleaning up messes he made, and fucker hasn't even been our boss for nearly a decade. I mean yeah it could've been a total poo poo show behind the scenes for all I know. I just remember it being relatively drama free aside from him literally not giving a poo poo about anyone poor and ridiculing anyone who suggested we shouldt give a poo poo. Anecdotally career city govt functionaries seem to dislike DeBlasio way more the Bloomberg. Also though there was that one total shitshow snowstorm where everything was hosed up for like three days because Bloomberg refused to spend money on hiring plows or buying salt because the end of the fiscal year was almost there. Just remembered that lmao.

quote:Stringer pushed back on Kim’s characterization as an unpaid intern, saying instead that she was a “peer” on the campaign and that they had a consensual relationship. “We had an on-and-off relationship over a few months. I was 40, and she was 31,” Stringer said. So, uh, the best case scenario for Stringer here is he was a 40 year old dude sleeping with his workplace subordinates? That's, uh, not optimistic...

Complete rot from decades of one party rule. Plus, the leftist orgs pushing to elect better candidates have been focusing pretty exclusively on house seats, state legislature, and city council instead of mayor and citywide offices.

haveblue posted: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.

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.

betaraywil posted:Oh okay. It's the sort of thing that made me want to vote for Morales over her. 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."

betaraywil posted:Oh yeah that "want to vote for her" was firmly in the past tense. If you're running as the leftiest lefty and you get into a labor dispute with your team so you fire a bunch of them, you need to give a really good reason on the spot, and as far as I read this morning, she still hadn't really explained it beyond insisting that she supports the union. Whether or not I'd believe a sufficiently good explanation at this point, the messaging incompetence on display is De Blasioesque. Yeah I mean it's plausible they got laid off because of the whole "there's no more money so y'all are part of the people getting cut" but then when a reporter asks questions to respond with "I have no idea why we fired those people in particular lol" is just... pretty bad.

theflyingexecutive posted:is there a guide for judicial elections? I hate that it's a thing we actually go out and vote for that has real consequences but it's just painfully hard to make an informed decision. Look up what races you have and scan the bios or the one outlet covering the races. There's usually a couple shitheads candidates and one person who's okay with good experience and endorsed by a non-awful elected. Judges are also states offices so no need to RCV which is a small mercy.

99 CENTS AMIGO posted: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.

theflyingexecutive posted:I was told that too, but something needs to account for the massive discrepancy between city and state levels of blankness: Also to make it worse: There were two ballot sheets, and one had a back to fill out (the questions) and the other sheet had absolutely nothing, just a big white space. I told everyone I issued ballots to about the front and back on the first sheet and to check the filled out everything, but poll workers were never given any instructions to be helpful in this way. Also every ed/ad was issues a shrink wrapped package of trilingual booklets explaining all the questions in detail. However there were only about 25 of them in the single package we got, and it had a cover sheet explicitly instructing us to only give it out to the voters if they asked for it. There was also no place to display it on the table either, so, like, I have no idea how anyone would know this booklet existed so they could ask for it. I think a single person took one the whole day in my polling place.
