I've had it with all of them. A bunch of rich twats who don't give a toss about the rest of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CenSin Posted February 25, 2017 Share #127 Posted February 25, 2017 Oh god no! Last thing we need in New York is a Cuomo dynasty... Technically, by the time she’s ripe for office, she won’t be a Cuomo anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobtehpanda Posted February 26, 2017 Share #131 Posted February 26, 2017 The New York Machine is the problem, the Republicans are not necessarily any better, and it's all because the state is set up to fail. Upstaters hate the City and want to screw it over, so they don't give it enough home rule power. The City, due to its lack of home rule power, enacts City-tailored laws at the State level. The City-tailored laws wreck Upstate's economy, so Upstaters hate the City and want to screw it over. Democrats are shoo-ins in the City because the Republicans are so toxic. However, Democrats need to pick up votes from Upstaters who hate the City because the City is not a majority of the State's population. Therefore, our current Governor, who won only because of the five boroughs, loves firing potshots at the City whenever he can. Rinse and repeat. These terrible power dynamics are only fixable if the State Constitution is amended, but once you open it for amendment, every section of it is fair game, including the part where pension benefits are locked in for existing employees, so opening the Constitution for revision is a giant radioactive football.
