If you're in NYC and you haven't voted yet I'm gonna need you to go tomorrow and rank Zohran Mamdani #1. Tomorrow is the last day for early voting and then you won't get a chance again until Tuesday. It's extremely important that we elect Zohran.

His platform centers the following:

Affordable housing

Freezing the rent

Fast and free busses

Department of Community safety

No cost childcare

City owned grocery stores

Taxing corporations and the wealthy to pay for all of this

Here is a direct link to the platform with more details.

DO NOT RANK CUOMO.

Andrew Cuomo is a rapist. He's a Zionist who is literally on Netanyahu's defense team against the ICC. And his primary interest is upholding the status quo. He's backed by billionaires and landlords. NYC cannot afford a mayor like this.

If you are registered to vote in NYC I'm begging you to do so. We have a real chance here

not to sawpost again but like he is genuinely, deeply respected and admired by his partisans. loved, even. and he loves them in return. but it wasn’t enough for that love to extend to his daughter. maybe for some it would have been, but he believes the majority of those who were with him at the time would not have hesitated to see jyn as a bargaining chip. there are a million posts and fics about how hurt and betrayed jyn was that saw left her behind, but saw must have felt hurt and betrayed by the closest thing to family he had left too. and that, more than anything else, is probably how the paranoia started.

[“Westerners naturally look upon it as sinister that the children of North Vietnam and the NLF zones of the South learn to read and do arithmetic from political material. But “politics,” or “government” in the widest sense of the word, was also the basis for the traditional education. Confucianism was, first and foremost, a philosophy of social organization. The Confucian texts, for instance, provided the foundation for the imperial law. (Is not the law… true virtue? asked one of the nineteenth-century intellectuals. “In the law we can… find complete expositions of the three duties [of a prince, a father, and a husband] and of the five constant virtues [benevolence, righteousness, propriety, knowledge, and sincerity] as well as the tasks of the six ministries [of the central government].”) As one historian has pointed out, the texts established a social contract between the government and the governed, for in order to claim legitimacy the emperor would have to echo Confucius’s “I invent nothing, I transmit,” thus acknowledging the limitations on his personal power. To learn how to read was therefore already to learn the management of the state. Because the Confucian texts formed the whole of civil education, the bias of the intellectuals was towards these “human sciences,” towards practical instruction in the governing of society. To the traditional Confucian scholars all knowledge led back into the political and moral world of man.”]
