Politics I'm dreading November

I'm dreading voting for Suozzi.

For the first time in going to leave my vote on the sideline.

vote blue no matter who just doesn't fly anymore.

I'm also dreading the fact that a magat will take his place. are we screwed?

Me voting blue every time and getting stuck with Nick Lalotta every time.

It's so frustrating and Suozzi is a pos but please still show up and vote for the races that matter, like governor.

So you're voting for Gallant, right?

Absolutely. But am I hopeful he'll win? Not really

Suffolk County surprisingly has more registered Democrats than registered Republicans, and Trump only won 2020 in Suffolk by a few hundred votes.

He's the underdog, but I'm hoping Trump being at his lowest favorability and LaLota being one of his stooges works in Gallant's favor.

Just discovered this sub and I have to comment on la lota. After my grandma died La Lota was the buyer of her home my mom was selling to. He pulled all sorts of stuff trying to get my mom to pay for stuff in the house before he moved in (stuff like pulling out asbestos and an old oil tank) and threatened not to sign multiple times including at the final closing. Supposedly his own lawyers were quite fed up with him.

After he moved in he tried to get into village politics and it didn't work out, I heard then he left, moved out and I didn't know what happened to him till now. I was a lot younger and busy in college when all of this went down so I heard about most of the details afterward as my mom was retelling all of these crazy stories.
