Right, that’s why it’s important if at all possible to rank five names if you can so even if your vote gets transferred five times it will still count however participating is the most important part so even if you don’t have five names please vote and rank Zohran #1.
This article does not contain any exclusive reporting and instead contains the usual right wing spin. Therefore there is no value in linking to NY Post which is owned by Rupert Murdoch the same person who owns Fox News. Visiting their websites helps support them with advertisement traffic and tracking.

There are more than five candidates so pick five good apples and exclude Cuomo entirely. To maximize the chance of your vote counting you should fill in all five because depending on how many rounds there are your vote may not count if you didn’t rank all five. Please read the comments other people have been posting in reply to mine.
Remember to fully fill out your ballot with five names too! The only reason Adams won last time was because some people didn’t fully fill out their ballots.
Data center owners should work as aggressively as possible to build solar and wind capabilities. It would be best for all parties involved. They’d get cheaper energy and it would benefit everyone by not polluting as much.
Even if they cannot power all of their energy needs with renewables they could build some every year.
These companies are so rich they can easily afford it.
That’s a good point about alternative rock. I changed the title from usually to sometimes, maybe usually was too much.
I’ve never thought about the word alternative being synonymous with progressive, I tend of think of as meaning against the grain or against the mainstream but in practice sometimes it just means bullshit like in the title. For example RT calls themselves “alternative media” but they’re really just propaganda slop.
Have you voted yet in the primary (if eligible)?
For anyone reading this who’s a registered Democrat and lives in NYC it’s super import you vote in the primary by June 24. Urge as many like-minded friends and family to vote and offer them a ride or go on the bus with them if they need help with transportation. Even search things like NYC or New York City on social media and if you think they are like-minded urge them to vote.
Rank these names from #1 (best) to #5 (tolerable): Zohran Mamdani, Brad Lander, Adrienne Adams, Michael Blake, Zellnor Myrie
I’d recommend Zohran #1 and Brad #2. Zohran has a stellar ability to motivate volunteers. You really need those door knockers, they will help tip the scale in the general election. The general election is going to be difficult because Adams is running as an independent. If Cuomo wins, he and Adams will split the vote and hand the election to the Republican Curtis Sliwa. Zohran is fresh and gives voters someone to get excited about. He can crush the spoiler effect.
Sadly that’s going to change. Musk is going to push an update that I suspect will turn Grok into a far-right disinformation parrot or become closer to that. See https://lemm.ee/post/67429541 and https://lemm.ee/post/67216433
I wish people would study if they could not bother cooling the data centers or raise the thermostat. This article makes it seem unclear if it’s beneficial to do that:

I wasn’t aware of this before. No wonder Musk felt comfortable stepping down as CEO, he just appointed a like-minded person.
That’s excellent! Hopefully there will be more and more people who don’t know anyone who uses Twitter.
100%! I’m sure you’re not using it but if you have friends/family still on there urge them to quit using Twitter.
Keep the pressure up, keep the numbers going down. Fight hard!
This article says that Harris’s campaign platforms were released in early September which is more than two weeks away from the election.
https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4869169-harris-campaign-site-policy-positions/
Article says:
The Harris campaign site’s section on the economy outlines proposals to cut taxes for middle class families; make rent more affordable and homeownership more attainable; grow small businesses and invest in entrepreneurs, among other sections. And, it ends with a contrast to “Trump’s Project 2025 agenda,” which it argues would “jack up prices.”
This contradicts:
No, but she’d continue to allow her golf buddies to price gouge you for everything from food, to electricity, to rent and stand idly by while you’re evicted and criminalized for being homeless.
Would Harris be turning tariffs on and off randomly like a light-switch?
Would Harris be ordering ICE to deport innocent people?
Would Harris sign the so-called “big beautiful bill” tax cut to the wealthy?
Would Harris appoint horribly unqualified TV hosts to run our government?
Would Harris cut aid off to Ukraine and ambush Zelenskyy and other world leaders in the white house?
Would Harris be trying to end temporary protected status to people who may get killed if they go back to their home country?
Would Harris have her own meme coin that she uses to accept bribes?
I endorse Clyburn’s primary challenger.
I’m not accepting it, I’m doing what I can to change it, but it’s true that when voters feel apathy it benefits Republicans more. That’s why it’s important Democrats change to energize voters and reach out to more non-voters.
How Zohran Wins: show up to the primary if you’re a registered Democrat in NYC or vote early (early voting has already started). It’s very important you reach out to as many like-minded friends and family as you can and tell them to vote in the primary. When they fill out their ballot they should if at all possible put five names on the ballot but they should NOT put Cuomo’s name on the ballot at all, not even last. When it’s election time I’m loud as heck about it, I ask people if they need a ride. I’ve been thanked before because people who I thought would be guaranteed voters actually needed the reminder and said they wouldn’t have voted if it wasn’t for me. Please try doing likewise. Never assume someone is going to vote. Always ask if they will.
Filling out the ballot fully and excluding Cuomo’s name on the ballot is very important because he’s a sexual harasser and because he’d likely lose the general election. It’s going to be a tough general election because of Adams running as an independent. Cuomo and Adams are similar in a way so NYC needs someone who’s different. It’s basic marketing, kind of like product differentiation.
Each rule we change fixes some of the rot. It’s like a journey. Think of it like walking from California to New York. It’s not something that happens in one day. People may tell you that you cannot do it, but you can. Those who put in the work will be rewarded. Passing an inheritance tax would be like successfully walking from California to Colorado. Not there yet but you made progress.
Except with politics it’s easier, instead of needing to do the whole walk ourselves we can each contribute a small amount of walking based on what’s within our means and that walking we contribute collectively adds up to the journey and together we can achieve the journey much easier.
Looks wonderful to me!
