He knows in advance that nothing he does will ever please the fringe, perpetually disgruntled, and other alarmist haters who'll never be satisfied no matter what he does or says. So he's not even going to try. Good for him! We need more DEMOCRATS just like him.

Those are called "red flags"

No they're not. Not to reasonable people.

Eric Adams [View all] boston bean Jan 2022 OP

I too voted for Green in 2001 Polybius Jan 2022 #84

So your assessment of the current mayor would be similar to mine. Beastly Boy Jan 2022 #94

Probably. Even though elected as a republican, he was far from leading as a "republican".... George II Jan 2022 #81

Eric Adams has a very interesting, and inspiring life story. He grew up early.... George II Jan 2022 #80

Just saying we had other choices in the Dem primary wellst0nev0ter Jan 2022 #23

Yes,and the Democrats chose him, in the first vote and all following rounds George II Jan 2022 #93

I hoped Maya Wiley would win, but she is not at all a 'we need to start crackin' skulls again' type Celerity Jan 2022 #74

Wiley clearly did not have Adam's pocket votes wellst0nev0ter Jan 2022 #75

Yang would have been a disaster. Celerity Jan 2022 #76

Would Democrats find better candidates to run for office? tenderfoot Jan 2022 #24

If I were king of the Democrats sarisataka Jan 2022 #25

If I were King of Democrats, I'd run Democrats that aren't afraid of not appealing to right wingers tenderfoot Jan 2022 #29

I like him. NurseJackie Jan 2022 #13

The voters of New York City gave him four years. George II Jan 2022 #70

But not eight? wellst0nev0ter Jan 2022 #71

In New York City mayoral terms are four years. If you're interested in eight years stick around.... George II Jan 2022 #77

Sorry, thought you suggested Adams will only stick around for 4 years wellst0nev0ter Jan 2022 #78

"The safest place for children right now is in a school," tenderfoot Jan 2022 #21

He is using a stat of 1 year ago that transmission in school was 1%. And at home today is 15%. boston bean Jan 2022 #28

Glad I didn't have to make that choice 48656c6c6f20 Jan 2022 #26

Then you would never vote for the former President of the Wellesley College Young Republicans. former9thward Jan 2022 #69

She was a police officer? 48656c6c6f20 Jan 2022 #72

You said "Or ex republican" former9thward Jan 2022 #73

Yeah but how do you feel about current Republicans? BradAllison Jan 2022 #82

Many very accomplished Democrats were once republicans. George II Jan 2022 #92

You know, boston, there really IS such a thing as Hortensis Jan 2022 #53

I am watching something in him that makes me have questions. boston bean Jan 2022 #59

Good. We're responsible for what those in office do after all. Hortensis Jan 2022 #62

He was sworn in on January 1, it's been less than four days and already he's being trashed..... George II Jan 2022 #63

Did you see him on cnn today? boston bean Jan 2022 #64

All I know about the guy is that he's a new mayor Torchlight Jan 2022 #54

+1 betsuni Jan 2022 #56

His appearance on cnn this morning was concerning to me. boston bean Jan 2022 #60

That's quite understandable and Cha Jan 2022 #65

I saw some of his points. But I also saw someone going up against educators. boston bean Jan 2022 #67

I don't even have that to go on. Torchlight Jan 2022 #66

Oh Yeah! Cha Jan 2022 #61

I just hope he doesn't run for President AZProgressive Jan 2022 #68
