I don’t live in New York, don’t particularly care about the mayoral race but I laughed out loud when I heard him say that he thinks the average Brooklyn home price is $100k. I don’t know any city where the average home price is $100k. Folks are out of touch these days man.

 

Yeah this kind of shit is exactly what makes me laugh when Dems play "party of the workers" lines in their ads. Between this guy, Tom Steyer, and Bloomberg I wonder whose campaign is the most fun to work on.

I could see him garnering the votes of middle managers/executives who work in finance and other white collar industries. The reality is though that this is a really small subset of NYC and his chances of winning are 0 at this point. The race is between Adams and Yang now.

I can't tell if you're being facetious or not?  Yang will put in a strong performance for a guy who never stood much of a chance of winning.  It was almost certainly going to be Adams from the word go - there is a reason that over the course of the primary season there have been a bunch of frontrunners, but it's always Adams and someone else (Stringer, then Yang, now Wiley).  Not like media outlets are going to call it in May - they're going to make it seem like a real race for as long as possible.  Hell, Yang can barely name a NYC subway stop!  That matters in local elections, even if this locality has the population of several states.

 

Strong performance for second place, of course. He will finish above Wiley.

I find it interesting how a former police officer is poised to win the election just a year after De Blasio defunded the police by $1B. The tide has really turned in one year.

Because "defund the police" doesn't mean "we hate police officers and all of them are scum of the earth."  A former police officer who says "hey, maybe the police do stereotype based on ethnic background and maybe the police don't need to be action movie heroes, some of their functions can be better assigned to community groups or to rehabilitating kids/homeless folks/etc" might actually have a more valuable perspective than someone who is currently an officer, or someone whose only experience with the police is from an adversarial standpoint.  Background connotes a certain experience but doesn't pigeonhole you into only seeing the world from that viewpoint - the ability to adapt and change isn't a negative, it's a positive.

But yeah, I agree Yang with finish above Wiley.  Adams will get all the machine votes and everyone else is jockeying to see who has the best chance of uniting disparate liberal factions to upset that - in other words, the de Blasio formula.  But everyone saw what he did in 2012 and no one is letting that happen again, Adams is too smart for that.

 

Except for the fact that Adams hasn’t used “racial profiling” as the core of his campaign. He has stood by the police while acknowledging there are flaws that need to be resolved. He’s the last candidate on the list to be redirecting funds away from police to “community workers”. He instead seems like he will focus on better training and transparency but keep the police.

This is a far cry from De Blasio and many others who are running. Yet Adams is almost guaranteed to win. The drastic change in one year is undeniable.

13/50 clown. I’m shocked that police are more likely to stop the demographic that commits a vastly disproportionate amount of crime. SHOCKED! Crime isn’t a random walk you dope.

If police went around stopping and questioning elderly Asian women at the same rate per capita as black men, which is apparently what you think they should do, they would be completely negligent, ineffective and actually should be defunded.
