Houston Street

Not arguing for silence. But rattling off statistics doesn’t work. So try something else.

I live in NYC. I know the crime rate is both down here and per capita very low. But I’m also in a neighborhood with a methadone clinic and my morning dog walk is like a zombie movie. Statistics don’t change what people experience and just yelling louder doesn’t change that.

A valid point if it wasn’t for all the elections we lost. Having economists cite statistics that claim the economy is better doesn’t work when voters don’t see it. No we’re making the same mistake on crime.

All the economists were saying that last election. You can’t tell people the economy is better. They have to feel it.

Yup. And stats always win the argument. Just like they did for Biden on inflation.

Yea. And keep citing statistics that make it sound like there’s no problem but don’t reflect the reality of most people’s lives, because that worked so well with inflation.

Then f@cking don’t!!!!

I know. I got 249,999 of them.

He swears he kept his underwear on while writing it.

Because in the history of our people we usually don’t get to live in them that long. And NYC elections are always about more than the city. They’re about Puerto Rico, and Israel and at one time Ireland.

And your conclusion is the democratic socialist who never ran anything is the best to run the city? You could go with Lander and have someone who actually knows something and then not having an antisemite run the city with the largest Jewish population outside of Israel would just be gravy.

Your first choice is the anti Israel guy who campaigns with Cynthia Nixon? Ok. Bye.

And, yet, here you are.

For the love of god please stop saying extreme. Say economy crushing, or deficit exploding or grandma starving. Nobody hears the word extreme.

Who. The. F@ck. Cares!?!

This is a remarkably weak statement.

Ok Bambi. Nothing to see here. Just a $400 million gift out of the goodness of their hearts. If they wanted anything for it I’m sure they would have taken out an ad or something.

Well at least we can be assured no one put any listening devices on it or anything like that.

Oh for god’s sake, his only client is the Democratic Party. This isn’t a profile in courage. It’s marketing.

Did anyone actually involved say that’s why they changed firms or is the NYT just theorizing? It’s a Delaware chancery court case. Why pick that case to switch to make a political point?

You’re a child. Blocked.

Now you’re just being silly. Not wanting run face first into a brick wall for the third time doesn’t make anyone a coward. Wanting to do it makes someone a fool. When a tactic doesn’t work, you choose a different tactic, otherwise it’s just performative nonsense.

Yeah, and communism would work if only they did it right. If you don’t get republicans to convict, and you won’t, it’s just theater that ends with him saying he’s been vindicated.

Because we did it twice and it was a disaster. Because it doesn’t convince people of anything who aren’t already convinced.

Because it worked so well last time? And the time before that?

And it isn’t even going to him. They pledged pro bono legal work.

If you went to those shows in the 80s and then went tonight, you’re going to want to put some ice on that.

I hope she sold it with almonds and a nice meunière sauce.
