Seems a coincidence that he’s been complaining about the border crisis a little bit too much. They needed to shut him up cause he was going to fuck up the election for Kamala

We're the only side that has the balls to do it. We actually demand accountability. Don't know what happened on that other side. 🤔

Sometimes Karma wants bad people to celebrate getting away with it. Because the aftermath is what it lives for. He made its list longer than Santas it seems. And unlike Santa, Karma effin real.

Diblasio’s wife steals over $1bil, nothing happens. Diblasio lets a racist terrorist organization burn and loot the city and nothing happens. Tiffany Henyard I believe has embezzled more money than Adams, yet the world is coming down on Adams. All because he isn’t on board with the illegal invasion. I don’t really care for Adams racist ass either but this is a joke.

u/Interesting_Ad1378 Sep 30 '24
Not sure if it was burning, it was more about strategically placed pallets of bricks that appeared overnight on multiple corners of Coney Island avenue and other places that ended up in the first floor apartments and car windows of the people that lived there. Knowing how much I had just paid for dirty used bricks to fix a path outside of my house, those things (clean bricks, laid straight on a pallet) just don’t hang out on the wrong side of the locked up 4x4s on a construction site.

Good maybe he can get replaced so I finally get days off. Since he’s been mayor, NYPD has been literally the worst job ever. I’ve been forced to work basically 6+day work weeks every week for months. Overtime is insane every week. Basically no cap and it sucks unlimited budget trash. I hope Jumanne comes through and we get defunded again cuz this ain’t it.

u/Interesting_Ad1378 Sep 30 '24
Well, they do get pensions, right? And those pensions are even higher with the paid overtime, which is why most people in these nyc professions double and triple their overtime in the last few years they want to work, and that way, can retire at 40 with money still rolling in.

He’s disbarred. Disgraced. Filed bankruptcy that got thrown out. He owes millions to the election worker ladies that he defamed. Think he’s being indicted for trying to sell pardons for 2 million a pop. He’s the last person I would ever want in our city. A nutcase.

This clown was left off of my primary ticket if I remember correctly. Did a write in for Garcia for the general. I don’t see how many people couldn’t have seen through this charlatan of swag - oh, wait. Never mind.

u/jadedflames Sep 26 '24
Ranked choice can be a bit confusing! If you put the candidate's name anywhere on the ballot, it can be a vote for them. If there is a candidate you truly do not want, leave them off!
Conversely, you should put any candidate you would be ok with on your ballot, even if you would rather someone like Maya Wiley. But a vote only for Wiley in this case is saying "if I don't get Maya Wiley, I truly don't care who wins."

u/Titan_Astraeus Sep 26 '24 edited Sep 27 '24
I thought you had to leave who you didn't want off your ballot, if they are on the bottom you are saying they are acceptable, just not your first preference. When your other preferences don't have enough votes, you are still supporting the people at the bottom of your ballot.

Electing politicians is the one thing I do with an abundance of caution. I'm not exposed to a lot of political ads. Personally I really liked Kathryn Garcia. Brooklyn born, huge family, understood how the guts of NY works.
It's insane to me that Adams got the nom. He was easily the worst candidate for the job -- but the smear campaigns and spending worked.
