Hillary will announce June 13th from Roosevelt Island NYC.

[JaneyVee]

This is where she will announce, with the UN and Freedom Tower in the background:



This picture angle totally looks like the HRC arrow logo on the floor.

[peacebird]

1. Nice optics

[Wilms]

4. Yes, indeed.

The arrow, referenced in the OP, points right at Wall Street.

[brooklynite]

6. How witty!!!!! and wrong!!!!!

It points to the East Village (working class--primarily hispanic) and then on to Brooklyn (the melting pot of America). Manhattan angles to the right, so Wall Street would be out of the line. But feel free to throw out some more cheap shots...

[Wilms]

11. "and then on to Brooklyn"???

Are you kidding? That's way off to the left. And as to Brooklyn of late, it seems more like a haven of trust-funders and the 10%.

And be careful. My time there may well precede yours. Although I'll bet Patty Dukes neighborhood has only changed it's demographic very little.

[JaneyVee]

14. Yeah, why didn't Hillary build the arrow in a different direction!

[Wilms]

16. Good question to ask her at a cocktail party. n/t

[JaneyVee]

50. When?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

17. Mary Tyler Moore was from Brooklyn as well.../NT

[Wilms]

21. That was a VERY different Brooklyn.

Unless it was the Heights, in which case she probably moved to MN because she could no longer afford to live there. (I'm referencing the character, of course.)

[DemocratSinceBirth]

29. Brooklyn Heights.

My aunt lived on Flatbush Avenue and my grandfather lived in Brighton Beach.

[KittyWampus]

20. Then why don't you know that arrow doesn't point anywhere CLOSE to Wall Street?

[Wilms]

31. So you refuse to check the map?

[Wilms]

32. Nice try, Kitty.

The map is everyone's reference. Not you. Not me.

[hrmjustin]

23. Do you live in Brookoyn?

[Wilms]

33. Can you look at a map?

[hrmjustin]

35. Yes.

[LanternWaste]

55. You should continue to double-down on what may be one of the most irrelevant and petulant points of

You should continue to double-down on what may be one of the most irrelevant and petulant points of order since her campaign revealed a mere logo.

If nothing else, it's bemusing to watch someone pretend to have a point relevant to the OP. I'd call it rhetorical ballet, except ballets are full of grace and skill.

Now ask everyone who disagree with your premise if they know where north is... for consistency's sake.

[Wilms]

57. Do you know which way is north?

[JaneyVee]

58. It's OK to admit you're wrong.

[Wilms]

59. Get out a map. n/t

[brooklynite]

36. Follow the line and you hit Brooklyn Bridge Park

https://www.google.com/maps/place/Brooklyn,+NY+11201/@40.7223206,-73.9783688,14z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x89c25a49758b42d7:0x7908ae51bb1062c6

And as for "trust funders", perhaps you didn't get out to Crown Hts, Sunset Park, Brighton Beach, Canarsie? Just as "NYC" doesn't equate to "Manhattan", "Brooklyn" doesn't equate to "Brooklyn Hts"

FWIW - I was born here 55 years ago.

[Wilms]

42. Wonderful map showing

that there's a straight line from the south tip of Roos. Is. to lower Manhattan.

And I am aware that Brooklyn is a large and diverse place. And you, having long lived there, are certainly aware of the gentrification which began in earnest back in the 80's...ya know, Reagan's reign. Hence, you are well aware of what I am saying.

[JaneyVee]

48. LOL. Everything points to lower Manhattan...eventually.

This is perhaps the dumbest debate I've ever read on the internet.

[LiberalElite]

13. Actually it points directly to housing called Waterside Plaza

it was developed under the Mitchell-Lama program in the mid-'70s for middle income residents. However, due to an "opt-out' loophole that is no longer affordable housing for the middle class.

[brooklynite]

38. True, but then you carry into Avenue C/D in the East Village

[hrmjustin]

39. Yep.

[JaneyVee]

8. Wall Street is on the opposite side, this is the east side.

[Wilms]

15. I googled a map for you.

Zoom out and draw a line from Roosevelt Island.

[JaneyVee]

18. I live in the East Village. I know my way around.

Manhattan comes to a point and that is where our financial district is. Is this a new Hillary conspiracy I'm unaware of?

[Wilms]

26. As I said, I offered a map for you.

As to "a new Hillary conspiracy", her relationship with Wall Street is reasonably well known and certainly not new.

Not to hang it all on her, though. The same financial people have been on board with the all the admins for decades now.

[RussBLib]

30. I can read a map too

and it looks like it points right towards Wall Street.

[JaneyVee]

45. Apparently you can't, it points nowhere near Wall Street.

It actually points to Union Square.

[KittyWampus]

24. Yes, and the line goes to Tompkins Square Park, IIRC.

[Wilms]

28. No need to wonder if you "recall correctly".

Just look at the map.

[JaneyVee]

47. Here's a map:

Apparently you don't know where Wall Street is. Looks like it makes landfall at Union Square.

[hrmjustin]

34. Looks more like Gramercy Park or East Village to me.

[Renew Deal]

61. This has to be about as dumb of an argument as it gets.

[Wilms]

62. Glad you're participating. n/t

[NCTraveler]

2. Excited.

Our field is shaping up great.

[brooklynite]

3. Um, no she won't

The event is on SATURDAY, June 13.

[JaneyVee]

5. Oops. Yup, same spot, but June 13th. Will edit. Thanks.

[rurallib]

7. didn't she announce once?

sometimes I get confused

[JaneyVee]

9. This is the kickoff.

[snooper2]

19. how many kickoffs does she get LOL

[JaneyVee]

27. Did I miss one? There was a video and now a kickoff.

Just like every other candidate.

[brooklynite]

37. Same number as Bernie Sanders I guess.....

Did you laugh when he held his kickoff a month later?

[snooper2]

40. what was the whole black van deal about?

[brooklynite]

44. Transportation to a listening session in Iowa?

Same thing as Bernie Sanders doing campaign things before his "formal" announcement?

[JaneyVee]

49. Bernie uses his cape as transportation.

[aikoaiko]

10. It will be interesting to see if she embraces its previous name -- Welfare Island.

When this Jersey boy would visit family in Stuyvesant Village in the 1980s a bunch of the old-timers still called it that.

[Bluenorthwest]

12. It was Welfare Island until 71 or 72 or so.....

It is one of my favorite parts of NYC.

[KittyWampus]

25. Great Question!

[whatchamacallit]

22. Can't wait

Not!

[workinclasszero]

41. Wow this is going to be epic!

Awesome site, go Hillary!

[dembotoz]

43. is it a friday????

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

46. Will Lucy be there?

[truebrit71]

51. Which accent will she use I wonder?

[Autumn]

52. Announce what?

[JaneyVee]

53. Campaign kickoff.

[Autumn]

56. Okay.

[Tarheel_Dem]

54. Thanks for that.

[Renew Deal]

60. Maximum security

I think the only way to get there is Tram and boat.

[brooklynite]

64. Subway and bus service as well...

[Avalux]

63. Have to put on a good show I guess....

not that there's anything wrong with it, but I'm getting the feeling that just about everything is staged for show with HRC. I wouldn't expect anything different though, just because of who she is.

[applegrove]

65. I hope she makes FDR her model for presidential politics

and calls out the bad behaviour of the GOP.
