Christine Quinn has been a powerful, vocal supporter of Democratic and progressive values for decades in New York City. She's the real deal.

Other than LGBTQ rights she was mainly a centrist hack.

I just wonder why you of all people are so negative about her. That's unusual for you. There must be more to this story.

...whether or not I agree with someone's political philosophy, if they can't get elected to implement it, there's no point.

Out of curiosity, why should I "of all people" have cared about her?

Right now she is doing an amazing job. That's all that matters. Bitter ninnies need to get over the past. I might start a petition to get her hired. She is amazing.
