I like how Curtis Silwa is running on the Protect Animals ticket when he owns 17 cats.
“we gotta save these cats” 
I mean, cats are adorable. They’re little monsters that kill all sorts of smaller animals, but they’re pretty cute lil monsters.
I like them but it isn’t ethical to own 17 of them in an urban apartment.
Look, it’s not a home, it’s a barracks. Every night those cats are out on the streets protecting new yorkers from the rats. HQ is a place for debriefing, wet food, and cat naps before hitting those hard streets again and again and again until the scourge is erased. Every cat is issued a red beret.
Alright you convinced me. I’m fine with hoarding cats if they wear little berets.
Okay, now I need to see a kids’ show made by some socialist state about these revolutionary kitties fighting against both rats and capitalist pigs. Cuddle shaped revolutionaries in little berets, and a HQ that’s a weird cross between the kitty room of a cat café and a military barracks. A kitty fountain that’s treated like an office watercooler. A conference table with scratching posts. Kitty beds stacked on top of each other like a cross between bunk beds and those “purrkour” setups some places responsible for a lot of cats like to build for them.
It is if the alternative is for them to be put down because shelters are overfilled and have no investment to actually keep animals alive.
He doesn’t specify which animals he wants to protect
Eric L Adams
you can’t escape nominative determinism
Cuomo little independent run is under a part called “Fight & Deliver”?
more like Frighten and Shiver. 👻
blammo, gottem.
Cuomo is in the cuck chair party.
Assuming NY doesn’t randomize the order, and it doesn’t look like they do from this picture, I think that’s the absolute worst place to be in terms of response order bias. People focus on, and have a bias towards, the first entries, the very last entry, and the corners.
New York orders the parties by the amount of votes they received in the Govenor election, independent parties that didn’t run in that election are ordered by a lottery system.
What’s the third language there? Chinese/Japanese? I wasn’t aware NY had a notably large ppopulation of either of those communities.
Chinese.
The information a bit out if date but Chinese is the third most spoken language in the city.
Jake forgot it was chinatown
i thought Eric Adams dropped out, did they just not have time to remove his name?
The deadline to get removed from the ballot was May 30th. He dropped out September 28th.
Can someone explain me? Silwa protect animals? What everything there mean?
The Protect Animals is Sliwa’s own independent party, so if he didn’t receive the Republican party nomination he could still be on the ballot.
New York uses fusion voting, so parties can endorce the same candidate and all those votes are added up for that candidate.
So if Zohran got 5 votes as the Democrat nominee and 3 from the WFP he would get 8 votes in total.
This way third parties and voters can voice dissatisfaction and disapproval of a party while avoiding acting as a spoiler and letting the other side win an election.
If you have more vote in one party than the other changes anything? The party gains something with that besides “if we endorse you, you’ll have better chances”
It can also be used to leverage attention on certain issues or policies. The WFP got just over 260,000 votes for the governor in 2022, so it should tell the Democrats that the issues the WFP run on also probably reflect a contingent of thier own voter base.
It can also help the smaller parties retain ballot access because you need a certain amount of votes in the governor election to maintain a spot on the ballot for even other local positions.
They are minor political parties that have endorsed candidates.
Kinda Bolivian elections, where each party have their spot on the ballot and the same candidate can be endorsed by different parties so you can have the same picture of the candidate repeated.
Read someone else here mentioning filling in an oval. It bothers me that ballots in the US have ovals instead of circles. It’s ugly.
