If Libs of Tik Tok is saying it, then you know to be on the other side.
Well it is a russian funded account so.
That was my thought "oh I don't know.... I'm not a new Yorker and have only vague indirect knowledge of Cuomo being shitty.... Glances at name
"....I fully support Mowhatever."
Also I was today years old when I learned New York Mayors are part of a party? What's that about?
Your local school board candidates are affiliated with a political party
Those random elections for some hospital position or something to do with a college have candidates affiliated with political parties.
The two party system is just a stupid way for people to show up, vote for a team, and go home. Its wild
I think they are referring to that there are primaries for mayor. In my town people just run for mayor, like there is only one election and then maybe a runoff. You know what party they represent but they are technically not allowed to run on a party ticket. The end result of this is that in the most recent election, in a red state and red county, the runoff was between a liberal and a centrist and the liberal won.
It's new york. It's a city so prestigious that being the former governor of the right party doesn't guarantee you'll win. Partyless elections are usually for low prestige roles
