[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When is the next mayoral election in NYC?[/quote]

This is bigger than NYC. People should be looking at 2024, or we are just passing around a hot potato between states.[/quote]

The presidential election is not the only election that matters. Local politics are just as important. Also, in the case of NYC, who it votes for in its next mayoral election may give us an indication of where other big cities overwhelmed by migrants are headed. The solution may not be to elect a GOP candidate (it could be not not necessarily). It could be a Democrat willing to  hold out both a carrot and a stick. Deals with ICE to handle people who are here illegally and with other feds to deal with employers who hire and exploit children and undocumented workers; and Metes out appropriate punishment for other crimes committed by citizens and non-citizens. There are humane ways of doing these things as opposed to doing nothing.[/quote]

No one said the presidential election was all that matters. But do you see all of these "local" politicians with their hands out asking for financial assistance from the feds right now? Saying that this is bigger than local is not the same as saying that local does not matter. We aren't going to "local" our way out of this.[/quote]
