running for mayor of nyc, or other office, on many issues he would be more "progressive" there is no doubt, on many issues they might agree in theory but he would be less willing to compromise, and some issues (gay rights, women and children's education) they would be equally progressive, education being the issue they commonly care about most passionately. He would not work to elect someone who did not share those last 3 values. And regarding anything national, lol, big difference. Just 2 different people. Her goals are improvement overall, his goal is sticking up for the people who are too often given the short end of the stick, basically, all us little people in nyc who are merely and almost literally prey for the 1%.

i pray he becomes mayor, it would be just downright amazing. we would be so damn lucky. i just need quinn to throw one more tantrum, then it's Bill and Bill in the runoff.
