You don't just get first in vig. I'm not convinced of anything, but I'm asking you to convince me why the group that has overseen where we are today should be reelected. And I'm asking you to give me something more than the other side will be worse or the other side has no plan.
You're in power. What is your plan? What are you going to do?
I'll play - They don't deserve to be reelected, but...
They don't threaten democracy either. They don't deny the outcome of the last election. They understand that Jan 6th was a very serious attack on our form of government, and they don't excuse those people. They didn't make phone calls to GA, and they actually support law enforcement. They aren't trying to undermine the medical profession's ability to care for women. They actually care about the health care programs. They understand that there is more than one religion in the US and all of them must be respected.
I will be voting for Kathy Hochul on Tuesday, as bad as she is, because the guy running against her is the opposite of all those things. I'm a registered republican, but until that side understands the system they are representing I will have to side with the opposition for a while.
So you think Kathy Hochul has performed well enough on crime in NY to keep her there?
What are the actual crime statistics for NY State that you believe support the idea that she hasn't? I'm not aware of anything useful. Much less anything that cross-references and compares to other states.
I urge you to read this, about NYC specifically (which is obviously NOT NY state)
