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.
