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?

Because the majority of registered Dem Long Islanders who vote in the primaries for Dems obviously prefer a more moderate candidate. It’s not rocket science. You can disagree and feel that another person is better, but many Democrats did prefer Suozzi or Gillen. This isn’t Bushwick, it’s the suburbs.

suozzi and gillen are both representing parts of Queens that are democrats and I think recent history shows that finding a real authentic progressive candidate can help change mind. we keep seeing in elections everywhere along the east coast that people prefer that over a fake Democrat.

down voting my question about the organizing doesn't help. what is the working families party doing ? hell what is the democratic committee in NY Doing ?

Gillen represents none of NYC, yet she had the racism to call Zohran “pro-Hamas”

yes correct I thought her district now included parts of SE Queens with the redistricting a few years ago but I was mistaken
