The question is whether younger voters ultimately consolidate behind Biden like they are for down ballot Dems or whether they end up staying home out of disgust.

Good question re younger voters. They are swinging away from Biden but not to the GOP. Mostly to 3rd party/undecided in the Presidential while supporting D Senate candidates at higher rates than Biden. It’s a big reason the Senate races look better for Ds.

ConEd had big plans a decade ago but nothing has happened. It is a massive failure on their part and city government’s.

Unless you live in a building with its own garage and a charger, it’s a massive hassle. There are very few fast chargers and they’re not good for regular use anyway. On street charging is way behind other cities. Charging ad hoc at garages is expensive and unreliable.

My memory of this piece of art conjures overpowering emotions decades later. Bill T. Jones is presenting a 30th anniversary production Still/Here this fall, a monument to the AIDS crisis and one of the seminal dance works of the 20th Century.

Yep. Adams was ahead before the first ad was run because he built an outer borough coalition in communities of color through retail and endorsement politics.

Love that the company currently in a bid to kill media as an industry where workers can make a living, is falling for the "we'll pay you in exposure" sham that so many media workers start out trapped within.

Context for the Beyer quote: he should have been Governor of VA, but lost the ‘97 race to a GOP who ran a single issue campaign on ending the state’s car tax.

Saw a cybertruck yesterday while running. IRL it’s clear the front end is shaped to send anything it hits (eg me) under the wheels to be crushed. Utterly sociopathic thing to design or drive.

This is part of the point I was making: policy is being driven by people who are not going to see the biggest benefits, who may be opposed just on vibes, or who (as Doug says in another thread) might not even care that much about this particular issue.

No, but they have polling saying cost of living is the most important issue in those races, and they’ve seen federal Dems attacked over state issues (bail reform). This is a grotesque failure of leadership, driven by a prioritization of burbs over cities, but I don’t think it comes out of nowhere.

This is a bit of a category error. The polls Hochul and House leadership are responding to are not among NYC residents who will benefit, they’re among suburbanites who don’t want to pay NYC taxes in the first place.

Trying to jam this into the popularism debate doesn’t work, especially if you think about this as a move Hochul made for her own political purposes. It’s (mostly) not about her, though she probably is also thinking more about 2022 results on LI than in NYC.

I’m not reading too much into specials, especially NY3, but I do think there are some places where relatively generic Ds are over performing the top of the ticket.

Polling specials is difficult because turnout is hard to predict. Dem pollsters predicted Suozzi would win NY3, GOP polls had Pilip ahead.
