It’s tough between Wiley, Morales, and Stringer. Rest are all non-starters.
I’d probably vote for Stringer if it wasn’t for the sexual allegations thing, even though there’s been a lot of doubt cast on that.
Probably leaning Wiley at this point.
Honestly cannot imagine making a statement like that as a fully grown adult in 2021.
Can’t win NYC mayor because you’re against terrorism. Got to be a little tilting but nobody liked you anyway but weirdos even by internet standards so go away.
Jordan exploiting violence against Asian-Americans to run interference for a regime currently committed to genocide puts him right alongside those he’s citing.
Just remembered I had $4 left over on PredictIt. Guess who just bought 6 shares of No on Yang for Mayor at $0.62 each?
Gonna be rich.

[Note: I am extremely biased and have a significant financial conflict, as I will benefit monetarily if Yang loses the election.]

There are 2 ways to become an innovating disruptive tech bro billionaire.
-
What if [thing that already exists] but on a recurring subscription model that is too annoying/time consuming to bother cancelling.
-
What if [thing that already exists] except we use network effects to essentially become a monopolistic supplier.
If you are a moderately or above attractive female there is also
- Wear a black turtleneck and get horny old VC’s or horny old saudi princes to throw money at you for any old horseshit.

It’s not a waste of time and money, it’s a disruption.

Yang is like Uber but for libertarians.
I’m no Yang stan but this is kind of gross
New York Daily News.
Yang has lived in NYC for 25 years.
Asians are perpetual foreigners though, am I right?

I hadn’t considered this as a racist caricature, and maybe it is, and maybe that means that I should be more aware of these things.
That being said, the tenor of substantive criticism is consistently “Yang has lived in NYC for 25 years, and appears to know absolutely nothing about it.” So characterizing him as a tourist seems very fair to me.
i am no yang stan, but it is totally possible to live in nyc for a long time, and know absolutely nothing about parts of it. like you could have lived in lower manhattan through the 90s and not know jay-z.
disclaimer: i never had an address inside nyc, but did several years worth of commute-in/work-travel.
He said in an interview his favorite subway station is Times Square. That is literally as touristy of an answer as you can give. No native New Yorkers choose to spend time in Time Square if they don’t have to. In his defense, that is his subway stop, but still, it’s a fair answer to mock.
In general though, he came off as so in-authentic in the interview (and I’d say in general). He claimed to love hip-hop and Jay-Z, but could barely name a favorite song, finally coming up with a Linkin Park song featuring Jay-Z.
this is correct though. yang tried to pander and it came off poorly.
my favorite station wouldn’t have been times square, but it would have been grand central. because i metro-north.
ETA: fuck penn station. what a dump. knicks/rangers garbage. worst scalpers in USA#1 as well
I have great memories of taking the cheap buses from Penn Station to AC, but you’re right that it is a terrible place to have to go.

I am dying over the fact that a politician was asked what their favorite subway station is, and not only are people acting like this is a non-insane question, the questionee is getting roasted for having an insufficiently trendy favorite station.
