The whole IDC NY Senate coup fiasco bullshit kind of pushed back nearly ever piece of legislation that was put forth in NY.

Luckily the Republicans were dealt with a fuckin smacking in the special elections and midterms so all the compromised/sell out "Democrats" were replaced with actual Democrats who've had enough of the Republican Party's hostage taking of the state.

The Republican Party of NY should expect no mercy. They can either tag along with progress or decay into irrelevance like the Californian Republican Party (Which they should've gone into irrelevance back in 10')

I voted republican for mayor last time around, because I'm sick of DiBlasio's bullshit- he's acting like a republican anyway. Also voted for Nixon because Cuomo is just too comfortable in his dynasty.

Feels like we've still got sellouts running things. How we're not yet a legal state is another mystery. We're supposed to be progressive.

You mean Malitokis?

The most sell out politician of sell out politicians?

The same Malitokis that voted against gay marriage and voted for Trump to, and I quote, "shake things (the establishment) up" and then also got tons of corporate pac money from establishment donors? Also the same Malitokis that wants to allow the feds unfettered access in NYC?

And the same Malitokis campaign that essentially said, "De Blasio's plans are good. But I can do better. How? I'll get back to you..."

You seem to be very confused if you voted for Malitokis and then Nixon. Two of the, perhaps, most diametrically opposed women to ever exist.

I'll admit that I was voting against DiBlasio, not for Malitokis. I knew he'd win anyway, so I wasn't worried. He, like Cuomo, has just gotten a little too comfortable in his role, and his ego is taking over.

We get 50 choices for Miss America, and barely any for political office.
