I’m wasn’t a Bill deBlasio supporter or anything, but it’s WILD to me that Bloomberg seems to be getting more support than BDB ever did.
Giuliani also had tons of support back in the day. Part of the reason stop and frisk got less attention is that Giuliani's police were known for shooting and torturing POC. Remember Amadou Diallo and Abner Louima?
Apparently being a racist with awful policies is an important ingredient for a nationally popular New York mayor.
My H and I were talking about this today. Hey, Bloomberg was just as popular and competent as Guiliani with his "broken windows" policy! Think long and hard about THAT, everyone.
My in-laws are stanning for Mayor Pete and they went to a rally for him in NH (which takes effort, IMO, because my MIL has some mobility issues due to metal rods/disc problems in her back).
Could be worse. At least it's not Bloomberg.
Pretty sure SIL1 and her husband are still Berners (they were last time, but voted for Hillary in the general). My brother probably leans Bernie but also voted for Hillary last time.
