Lol his free college for all plan was means tested to hell and back. I'm not sure who actually qualifies under the plan, but it's certainly not "all."

Also lol at it not covering room and board in a university system with a very clear two tier structure where all the upper tier schools are in the middle of loving nowhere.


(Okay, arguably it's a three tier structure because the better CUNY programs are still a step up from the community colleges and basically-a-4-year-community-college that makes up the lower tier of SUNY)

His free college plan was absolutely trash but he'll still run on it because a ton of voters won't hear the "but, " portion of it

i appreciate these voices on the left fighting against the neoliberal order in spite of the fact that we won't win. but just you loving watch, it's going to work. there are enough democratic voters who aren't with the program to ensure that

CaptainPsyko posted:

i don't even remember him being all that left-leaning in either of his campaigns for governor. the first one he just coasted on reputation, his talk about getting things done, and the fact that paladino is a living corpse reanimated by racism and spite. the second one he had to deal with Teachout, who rightly called him out on throwing progressives and progressive measures under the bus. after he beat back that challenge, he dealt with another worthless husk in the general

remember, schneiderman isn't running, so there's no upset to be had

that's why i could never truly get myself to harass Felder's office even though he represents the south side of the street that i live on. my internal response to emails from the NY Health Act, Physicians for a National Health Program, DSA NYC, etc. was "do you really think that Cuomo won't have his veto pen ready the very instant that bill reaches his desk?"

his response to a potential trumpcare passage is pretty bad to begin with, it's just a bunch of "shift the costs to local and county governments" that does nothing

I think the best part was saying this isn't all Cuomo's fault. Which could be true, but ignores ffat he's been governor for 6 years already and it's not like these issues just suddenly arrived, he's been governor long enough that him and the MTA should have cone up with a better long term plan, especially since Sandy, was what 4-5 years ago already?

and just a couple days ago, a City & State news roundup speculated that a recent upheld conviction meant silver and skelos should be scared. hope is a lie, never forget
i saw a guy on the subway covered in newspaper shreds and a plastic bag yesterday and he was having fun. granted, he was very drunk and had an empty flask-sized bottle of vodka with him

the issue should be with those showtime dancers that i always encounter when i take the Q train into manhattan. pick a street corner to dance, not a small metal tube that people travel in

He's right, but it's like the "welfare queen" thing. Yes there probably exists a welfare/child support "queen" who doesn't really need either of those things, but it shouldn't be a policy concern because there are millions of others who do actually need welfare/child-support. Or in this case "pan-handlers" is just a way to avoid admitting there is a homeless problem in NYC.

i read about that on the City & State roundup and de blasio brought that up because a week ago, he proposed banning panhandlers

also, his campaign strategy is "i'm a good guy to stand up against trump, vote for me." he went from a proto-sanders "tale of two cities" campaign to a DNC hack campaign in four years

the MTA has been a slush fund for governors over the decades, cuomo is no different except now we're seeing the consequences of that policy hitting us like a ton of bricks. luckily, as i just posted, that's one of the reasons why his approval numbers are taking a downward trend
