The mail order ammo ban is the big thing, and the overnight criminalization of ~1 million or so otherwise law abiding citizens is the other. If you're not a formerly law abiding citizen who didn't want to turn your rifle over to Prince Andrew, it's probably hard for you to grasp why this would piss people off so bad.

Guns are for pussies and your "UPSTATE RULEZ DOWNSTATE DROOLZ" shtick is really bad.

the only good part about upstate is all the wilderness stuff you can do in the summer. in the winter it is dark and sad

My FIL has a bunch of land near Albany. It's really nice to go up and visit and not hear cars honking and go on a hike in the woods and smoke some weed. I know there are some serious economically stressed areas up there that need a lot of help and I'm all for it, but as someone who grew up in the densely packed areas of along Island and living in Queens now, the change of scenery is nice.

The universal truth is our politicians are pretty bad.

Any state that is a "safe blue/red state" is bound to have horrible politicians because they don't even need to bother with fielding good candidates since they will automatically beat the opposition every time

it's extremely funny, to me, that poverty levels in upstate new york are more than double the national average in most places. having a big laugh here that poorly thought-out and implemented economic development initiatives have failed miserably to address longstanding deficiencies in communities just a few hours away from new york city

Hillary, Cuomo, Booker, and Schumer want you to move to that city to get a job and maybe do a tech startup so they can forgive your college debt.

andy's pulling a chris christie and actively not giving a poo poo about the affairs of the state so that he can run for president. i guess people from NJ are more enlightened than people here, because when that happened over there, his approval ratings plummeted

How can you not approve of a guy who gives out free college that's means tested to poo poo? That's like liberal catnip!

quote:

“Look at his career, look at his work in New York,” said Jonathan Cowan, president and founder of Third Way, a centrist think tank, and a former Cuomo adviser. “He is laying out a model for what it means to be a 21st-century Democrat. Our party is in a deep hole. You have to look around and say, ‘Who is succeeding? Who is doing it differently?’”

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
