54. the young people's vote
Tue Jun 24, 2025, 11:10 PM
Jun 24

Put him in. That bloc sees the establishment doing nothing to improve their lives, and they want them out. They want a fresh face and they got it now. He will have a battle with the NYC old guard, and, if the young voters get behind him, he may be able to get some change in..

The Dem establishment better wake up fast - the younger generation is right on their heels and they demand change. If they want to stay in office, the old guard had better make some big changes quick.. But they won't, and I'm good with that. Cuomo needs to go - his time has passed.
