 Festivities start at 7pm tonight! Cynthia Nixon LGBT and education activist that some may know from her previous acting career, she's spent the last 6 months campaiging thru NY state who supports marijuana legalization, single payer healthcare, fighting corporate interests (doesn't accept any of their money), and the rollback of the prison complex and abolishment of ICE. She's netted, despite Cuomo's attempts, the Working Family Party's and DSA local chapter endorsement.  Andrew Cuomo A prick. A prick that's helped get gay marriage thru NY state, he's also responsible for a Republican majority in the NY legislature, Republican gerrymandering (so that things here don't go too left-ward), massive amounts of corruption thru the state, and the foiling of any other leftward policies that are badly needed. Story So Far So far this cycle, Cuomo has done everything but Tonya Harding Nixon to cut short her race, from threatening her potential allies, to overloading the screens with his commercials by hoovering up millions of oligarchy money, to trying to co-opt some of her positions that he will inevitably reverse once elected. And once he's elected for another term, whoo, we've seen nothing yet... The NY slate for progressives looks bright this year, from AOC on, with Jumayne Williams and Zephyr Teachout having good shots at wiining Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General positions respectively. But nothing really changes in NY state while ol' Cuomo is in power. Which is worrisome, as Nixon's campaign has had trouble gaining momentum in the face of Cuomo's advertising blitz, currently facing an almost 40 point deficit. This will be the only debate in this race and Cynthia Nixon's first political debate as a candidate.

Wraith of J.O.I. posted:these moderators are conservative as gently caress what the hell “should homeless people have rights????” It's the question that decides a lot of politics in NY state unfortunately. The streets shake with the screams of NIMBY parents angry at poor people being moved near them.

Crusader posted:dollar salary is true praxis i guess? i dunno, ive never read a book dem socialism isn't about making people poor, it's about making everyone have what they need to fulfil a happy life. e: her answer opened up a lot of poo poo, and I'm ascribing that to weariness, surprise, and just inexperience. Cuomo jumped at that opening like a panther.
