Text all your too-cool-for school friends and tell them to get out and vote if they don't want the world's most vindictive and Trump-collaborationist Cuomo mayorship
i hate to be that bitch, but my sources are telling me this early voting data has gotten Zohran's people rightly spooked and y'all better stop assuming this one's in the bag. GOTV
Voter turnout surges in NYC mayor’s race, with Boomers and Gen X leading the charge

The fact that a former Democratic governor who resigned in disgrace after he was found to have sexually harassed multiple women was running a hate-filled, deeply divisive spoiler campaign, and both claiming that he was the true Democrat while appealing to MAGA, required party leaders to weigh in!

between the Politico texts and Platner I think we've earned (and would appreciate) at least a week break from any more literal Nazi-related political news updates. maybe we could collectively try for a few days of regular grift and graft stories? a suitcase or Cava bag full of money perchance?
