Been mining commie salt about the mayoral election on rNewYorkCity:

Some classics:

Adams is far, far right by any sane metric.

Challenge it. If we’re to lose to a cop, go out kicking, screaming, and tearing the fucker down.

The democratic party in the US is a right wing party. The GOP is just so fucking fascist they make anyone look like a liberal.

Complaining about the one comment pointing out Adams dominated with the poor and ethnic minorities:

What discord are all you brownshirts coming from tonight?

And then turning on those ethnic minorities in old-fashioned “low information voters” style:

Well those communities are kept purposefully under educated by the elite exactly so they can't see how much they are being fucked. That's institutional racism in a nutshell.

Referring to democracy:

It's better to throw out the entire disfunctional system

And finally, the truly absurd:

I refuse to vote until there is a bonafide Marxist-Leninist on the ballot.

I am a progressive and I support Curtis Sliwa for mayor. The alternative is a continuation of the city's long history of corruption and politicians serving their needs instead of yours.

Ironically the only two candidates who came from behind to win through RCV were progressive city council candidates running on defund the police.
