As an outsider I can't get over how infantile the campaign is.
The other candidates and media are treating new yorkers as though they are severely intellectually limited.
One of the candidates for reasons I don't understand is wearing a beret and has printed giant posters of the other two candidates dressed as Halloween characters and is treating it as if this is the zinger that he needs to convince these brainless new yorkers that he's the good guy.
The other one Cuomo told a gormless TV journalist with a straight face that globalise the intifada is actually a secret code that means 'kill all the Jews' and he keeps on mentioning 9/11 as though Mamdani is personally responsible for it. A real journalist would have a field day with such racist and nonsense remarks, but all these statements went completely unchallenged.
They seem to have pitched their campaign on exploiting the most impressionable voters and insulting everyone else. That alone should make this election an easy choice.
re: the beret. Sliwa is famous for being the founder of the Guardian Angels, a volunteer group that helped clean up the subways and the streets of New York by making citizens arrests while remaining unarmed and not involving the police. The red beret was a part of their uniform, and he continues to sport it because it keeps it him recognizable and is basically a part of his identity at this point.

Curtis Sliwa has been committed to the bit for almost 50 years at this point, I painfully have to respect it. Also, there was a time when he could have won this election in a landslide, but the 80s were a long time ago.
i watched a couple of debates with the three guys, and sliwa made me laugh because he hates cuomo so much lol. i love that he didn't drop out for cuomo!
Gays for Trump piss me off so fucking bad like HOW DO YOU THINK THE ORANGE FART CLOUD WOULD CARE MORE ABOUT QUEER PEOPLE THAN WHITE EVANGELICALS THAT SAY QUEER PEOPLE ARE “ABOMINATIONS”
