Except these people aren't really trying to take part in the civic process. If they were, they would have realized a while ago that there was no local election on the ballot. The information is all public, after all.
They are getting upset that the TV told them that a brown person was poised to win something in a multicultural city 900 miles away, and there was nothing they could do to prevent it. That's not snarky, it's what happened.
Non-Federal elections do not have a set date, like the Federal election does. Many localities have important elections on the same ballot and the same day -- not just to encourage turnout, but to save money. But some plan their elections on different dates throughout the year.
For instance, where I live we have to vote on the local school budget and school board, and they always have that election in May because the new board and budget needs to be in place for the school year starting in September.
Haha Sliwa will be lucky to get 8%....
We elect our politicians on a set schedule, and keep our Executive and Legislative branches separate. So, the next opportunity to "form a new government" is next November, when we re-elect the entire House and 1/3 of the Senate.
And keep in mind what this shutdown actually is. It is a failure to pass a law that appropriates money to government agencies. Not all government spending is subject to appropriations -- in particular, Congress is still getting paid, because their salaries are not subject to yearly government appropriations.
Why can't these agencies just continue to spend money? Because Congress made it illegal to exceed appropriations. This shutdown is not a bug, it's how our politicians have set things up, on purpose.
The wealthy are already voting for Cuomo
I wouldn't assume that, I bet there are a bunch of wealthy cat ladies on Staten Island voting for Sliwa....
the "saucer car" was "designed and built... from a cut down 1991 Geo Metro".
Maybe not....
Trump also indicated to CBS News’ Norah O’Donnell on Friday that he would vote for Cuomo over Mamdani.
Wait, doesn't he live in Florida now? He left all in a huff after NYC was so mean to him and hurt his precious fee-fees.
Maybe someone in the NYC Board of Elections should take a look into whether he voted by mail in both places. Sure, if that happened and we found about it there will be no consequences, because there never are for him. But it will give one more double standard for the historians to write about in "The Decline And Fall Of America".
The only poll that matters is the election
Yet at least 2/3 of those who blame Trump will continue to vote for Republicans that enable him.
YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT YOUR CAPS LOCK KEY IS STUCK
Why does this throw shade on the six Democrats who live in Kentucky? The guy is a Republican....
