  • Zohran Mamdani appears to pull ahead of Andrew Cuomo, according to new poll

    Jump

  • There are more than five candidates so pick five good apples and exclude Cuomo entirely. To maximize the chance of your vote counting you should fill in all five because depending on how many rounds there are your vote may not count if you didn't rank all five. Please read the comments other people have been posting in reply to mine.

  • Remember to fully fill out your ballot with five names too! The only reason Adams won last time was because some people didn't fully fill out their ballots.

  • 'A Black Hole of Energy Use': Meta's Massive AI Data Center Is Stressing Out a Louisiana Community

  • Data center owners should work as aggressively as possible to build solar and wind capabilities. It would be best for all parties involved. They'd get cheaper energy and it would benefit everyone by not polluting as much.

    Even if they cannot power all of their energy needs with renewables they could build some every year.

    These companies are so rich they can easily afford it.

  • Have you voted yet in the primary (if eligible)?

    For anyone reading this who's a registered Democrat and lives in NYC it's super import you vote in the primary by June 24. Urge as many like-minded friends and family to vote and offer them a ride or go on the bus with them if they need help with transportation. Even search things like NYC or New York City on social media and if you think they are like-minded urge them to vote.

    Rank these names from #1 (best) to #5 (tolerable): Zohran Mamdani, Brad Lander, Adrienne Adams, Michael Blake, Zellnor Myrie

    I'd recommend Zohran #1 and Brad #2. Zohran has a stellar ability to motivate volunteers. You really need those door knockers, they will help tip the scale in the general election. The general election is going to be difficult because Adams is running as an independent. If Cuomo wins, he and Adams will split the vote and hand the election to the Republican Curtis Sliwa. Zohran is fresh and gives voters someone to get excited about. He can crush the spoiler effect.

  • Rust Belt Voters Are Sick of Both Parties

  • I'm not accepting it, I'm doing what I can to change it, but it's true that when voters feel apathy it benefits Republicans more. That's why it's important Democrats change to energize voters and reach out to more non-voters.

  • How Zohran Wins

    Jump

  • How Zohran Wins: show up to the primary if you're a registered Democrat in NYC or vote early (early voting has already started). It's very important you reach out to as many like-minded friends and family as you can and tell them to vote in the primary. When they fill out their ballot they should if at all possible put five names on the ballot but they should NOT put Cuomo's name on the ballot at all, not even last. When it's election time I'm loud as heck about it, I ask people if they need a ride. I've been thanked before because people who I thought would be guaranteed voters actually needed the reminder and said they wouldn't have voted if it wasn't for me. Please try doing likewise. Never assume someone is going to vote. Always ask if they will.

    Filling out the ballot fully and excluding Cuomo's name on the ballot is very important because he's a sexual harasser and because he'd likely lose the general election. It's going to be a tough general election because of Adams running as an independent. Cuomo and Adams are similar in a way so NYC needs someone who's different. It's basic marketing, kind of like product differentiation.

  • The Grayzone has suspicious ties to Russia.

    The Grayzone publishes questionable material, stating that a Chemical Attack did not occur in Douma, Syria OPCW investigator testifies at UN that no chemical attack took place in Douma, Syria. They have also promoted conspiracy theories, such as claiming that Pete Buttigieg is a CIA agent. There is no evidence to support this claim. Finally, according to Radio Free Asia, The Grayzone content is frequently shared by the Chinese Communist Party media outlets “CCP propaganda is also increasingly laundered through Western influencers and denialist fringe media outlets like The Grayzone,” the report said, adding that, between December 2019 and February 2021, The Grayzone was cited at least 313 times in Chinese state media.”

    Finally, The Grayzone promotes conspiracy theories involving George Soros funding regime changes, and the editor Max Blumenthal claims that Bill Gates ran a Covid simulation before it occurred. This is false. In general, The Grayzone promotes a socialist left perspective that promotes conspiracy theories and pro-Russian/Chinese propaganda.

    Falsely claiming that there were no chemical attacks in Syria is a hallmark of Russian propaganda.

    Even if this article is correct I would avoid giving them your clicks because of their weird ties to Russia.

  • If the people you subscribe to are not ones who monetization is important you may want to consider reaching out to them and asking if they'd consider cross posting to PeerTube or another YouTube alternative. They may appreciate not putting all their eggs in one basket and reaching new potential fans.

  • This is posted on NY Post a website owned by Rupert Murdoch the same person who owns Fox News. It uses a misleading headline saying "car crash injuries" which actually means a similar type of injury you'd get in a car crash but most people would read it thinking that a car crash was somehow involved in the story despite there not being cars anywhere in the story.
