Doesn't NY already have a problem with rich people leaving with their tax dollars? At least I've read that somewhere.
But anyway Yang is cool.
43% of the city's and 51% of the state's tax revenue comes from the 1%.
The city and state are horribly wasteful in their spending and fail to deliver quality services.
OP
OP
Of candidates who announced and were rumored to be running in the few polls we've had so far, most voters are undecided. Of those who picked a candidate, Yang was far and away the frontrunner, eclipsing the next three top-polling candidates combined.
At the time of his presidential run, the Yang campaign was celebrating something and Yang himself decided to spray whip cream in a supporter's mouth. It would seem no one was paying attention to how it looked save for a mortified staffer who tried to put a stop to it.
Lol, this is something one of my friends would do, I think we'd get along.
Worried he was like tulsi for a bit, but he seems legit, and I know he might be a bit too moderate for reset in some areas but I like him. He's got a idealistic poor dumb dog thing going on. That thing about Asian Americans doubling down was dumb but came from a good heart.
(As a asian american I got a soft spot for him)
He's gonna die as mayor. I hope he does great but I have no faith.

What does being a "moderate" have to do with collecting trash and cleaning streets/bike lanes/bus stops of snow?
For fucks sake we need to stop electing local politicians based on national platforms. When you do that you end up with DeBlasio.
Yeah but that's only because of name recognition. De Blasio wasn't on anyone's radar until the debates started.
I know you shouldn't vote based on identity/race... but this would be a big win for Asian Americans after DeBlasio trying to reduce their numbers from the specialized high schools and ignoring them as minorities (FYI a large chunk of NYC's working class and poor are Asian).
Vince and his company aren't based out of NYC (or NYS for that matter).If he wins, does he have any affect on this guy's practices?
I supported his presidential campaign and will do the same now. Smart guy with more than a surface level understanding of problems that seems to genuinely want to make peoples lives better.
That video is amazing,you can pinpoint the moment the campaign's manager soul left his body. And no that was no random staffer,iirc it was his campaign manager.

Mr. Yang, please don't.
No, seriously. Please. Don't.
Alright, time to get you out of here.
Man, Yang cannot help himself stepping into shit in interviews, haha.
Well.... uhh, most people don't have to imagine that because that's how they've been living for at least ~10 months.
Otherwise it's a decent article about his candidacy and the challenges it faces primarily around him not being in NYC much the last few years with a primary just 6 months away.

Can Andrew Yang Make It in New York City Politics?
Mr. Yang has name recognition, fund-raising ability and some different ideas on how to run a government. How will that play in a city ravaged by the pandemic?

Most of his opponents own brownstones.
Let's not pretend that there is a actual "of the people" candidate. That person would be sharing a bedroom in an illegally converted townhouse in corona.

That quote is sinking him right now with New Yorkers
Yeah for sure everyone who runs for higher office is rich, it's just a really dumb thing to say "Imagine living like [how all of your voters are currently living]!?"
You don't have to be of people, you do however actually understand what they're going through. His main knock is that he's not really a NYer, that quote didn't help.

None of the candidates are working class. Unfortunately, the modern political machine politics requires some privilege.
I would've went with 'Drew York City.
Does he really have a shot at winning this? He seems to be a rich guy trying to find something to do.
NYC absolutely needs a technocratic mayor. Not more mayors who run on national political platforms.
BDB got elected with only 5% of the city voting for him.

No one really votes for Mayors. It frustrates me how national politics take center stage when local, state matter way more.

As someone that's never even been to New York is this really that important? Like guys he made a joke that didn't land about the pandemic. Move on. Dude wants to give people 1000 dollars a month. And might actually do something about the NYPD.
Is it important? No. Is it worth mentioning that a millionaire made a stupid remark about, like, "imagine living in a 2 BR apartment with your kids learning from home...." when literally like every single New Yorker with a family is in that exact situation, yeah, it's worth mentioning.
Lol "move on," the article was published at 7am, my post was at 930am...
The mayor has the following tools to aid the MTA:
1 - Introduce Bus Lanes.
Nuclear - Execute the option to reclaim NYCT operations back from the State. This would result in a (intentional) mess of debt/pension/tax subsidy obligations.
Do you really think NYC residents would support MTA reform to get actual productive and accountable operations against the TWU?
I mean far I guess. I just don't get it to be honest. Like politicians have said much worse stuff before and we ignore that all the time.
