Dems are a waste. They just can't actually support any position can they?

In a word, Nixon.

What Crowley is doing is creating a basis to argue that Cynthia Nixon ought not be able to be removed from the WFP line in November if she loses the democratic nomination. (Since she has established she fully intends to step aside for Cuomo if she does.) If Crowley and Cuomo can force Nixon to stay on the ballot while Cuomo is the Democratic nominee, they will be able to completely shut down any serious votes for the WFP on the governors line in November. That creates a very real threat to the parties ability to reach 5% and maintain guaranteed ballot access for the next four years. There’s nothing Cuomo and co. Would love to do more than gently caress over the WFP’s ballot access as retribution for the Nixon nod. They tried four years ago when the party so much as considered nominating Zephyr Teachout with the “Women’s Equality Party” - and They’re trying to achieve the same ends with a new tactic this year.

I don't get it? Why wouldn't she just get off the WFP ballot when she loses the primary? Also if she is on the WFP ballot i'll still vote for her, so what's the problem?

The bolded part doesn't make a lick of sense. What if 80% of NYS votes for the WFP and then cuomo just straight up loses? Is this some kind of 9 dimensional chess or something?

Yea cuomo is betting WFP cant get 5% as a spoiler party line. We’ll see if he’s right I guess.

Well I can tell you this, I'm not voting for cuomo, so if I get to vote for Nixon on the WFP, it's win/win.

The belief is that legalization represents a get out of jail free card for white smokers, while black users will still be targeted by enforcement of laws re: public consumption and such which will result in no change for them and stores will end up locating in poor communities of color and be a blight in much the same way as shady liquor stores, while corporations owned by rich white folks take all the profit.

Tl;dr, they are extremely skeptical of anybracial Justice arguments re: legalization.

I mean they are right, legalization will not solve racism, but fortunately that isn't the purpose of it.

Right. The purpose is to tax white people and offer them exciting new recreational and profit opportunities.

You might see why they aren’t so quick to get on board at that point.

Well yea they should make sure that the regulations are reasonable and not designed to entrench a connected political class. They see what happened with state-liquor stores, so maybe they could be legislatures and actually make laws that are good for the citizenry, and not their donors?

it's embarrassing that the gentrifier beer store on 95th that I loved closed and has been vacant for a year. also the biggest change I've noticed North of the hospital is the citibikes. EVERYWHERE

What's wrong with citibikes? Granted they've gotten like 60% more expensive then they started, but they are good thing and super convenient for getting both across manhattan and brooklyn.
