Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

I was wondering what the mistake was, then clicked the link and saw a big picture of Andrew Cuomo. Ah, now I get it.

NYC's unofficial motto may as well be "He may be a crook, but at least he's our crook!"

Thank you for the anti-bait.

[–] griff@lemmings.world 12 points 1 week ago

Do not include Cuomo on your ranked choice list of options!

NYC might as well put a massive billboard that says "this city is COOKED".

Clickbait title that is clearly partisan, looks like not worth reading regardless of content.

[–] psychothumbs@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I mean it clearly has an opinion about the race but not a partisan one since it's all happening within a Democratic primary.

[–] Moobythegoldensock@lemm.ee -1 points 6 days ago

I should be more clear: “Huge mistake” means it’s an opinion piece from a person who has a clear bias, not factual journalism. And the fact that the title gives no indication of what it’s actually about means the only thing I have to go on is the author disagrees with something, but won’t say what until I pay them for an opinion I didn’t ask for.

I would personally rather be given the information and form my own opinion.

You can say “I hate the front runner in the democratic primary” without saying “I’m voting republican”

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

This is lemmy. All criticism of centrist democrats for any reason is interpreted as support for republicans.

Zohran ( http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zohran_Mamdani ) seems like a much better candidate. NYC has too more information voters and regressives than I like, sadly.
