It's the equivalent of sticking fingers in one's ears to avoid hearing what they don't want to hear and/or closing their eyes to not see.🤣 Again, people have all types of coping mechanisms to deal with this existence. That's why I do not begrudge people who indulge in religion and other beliefs, practices and habits; smoke, drink, gamble, engage in freak-offs, etc. As long as people are not bringing hurt, harm or danger to others...let them do their thing and believe whatever makes life more enjoyable.😎

Gotcha. Bloomberg opened the door for de Blasio. Understood. Mamdani's candidacy definitely makes the mayoral race interesting. I'd imagine Mamdani can remain in the NY State Assembly if he loses his mayoral bid.😎

richardmurray adams isn't guaranteed to keep the spot. True. Nobody is. However with Trump helping him out and backing him....indirectly atleast...it's more of a guarantee. Trump has a way of helping his allies and getting things done for them that the Democrats don't do for their own if they are Black. yes the real estate industry, yes law enforcement, yes the private fiscal institutions will be able to support adams as an independent, which is underrated by some. By being an independent adams allows a combination of elephants + donkeys. That says it right there. But Mamdani has a strong crowd in the donkeys. The problem mamdani has is, he will need to explain how he is going to do a number of his promises and he hasn't. Because he can't. Not under a Trump Administration. He's an open Socialist, which doesn't sit well with MOST people in this nation, especially right-wing Conservatives and wealthy people of all backgrounds. How are you going to be the of a city that contains Wall Street and the Diamond District and Park Avenue...but openly say that you don't think billionaires should be allowed?
