Cynthia Nixon of "Sex in the City" fame pulls up on Cuomo, announces run for Governor

[AnonymityX1000]

Obama and Nixon are completely different levels of "novice". We'll just have to agree to disagree. She's literally no more qualified than you our me. After the Trump debacle, it's beside me that people want an actress in office. I hope you vote regardless breh.

What's this false equivalency between Nixon and Trump? Trump is an evil, stupid Republican. Nixon is none of those things. They are both celebrities but that's where the similarities end.

She's way behind in polls. We'll see tho, polls have not been too reliable recently.

The way NYC politics works basically. Cuomo bullies and threatens his way to endorsements, swung on issues only after Nixon started talking about them and has a huge advantage as an insider when it comes to funding and representation. Plus recognition. Cats are talking about Nixon never being to a PTA meeting when she was an activist and advocate for education long before this run.

Correction, I said she's never RUN a PTA meeting.

How do you feel about nepotism in politics? Like you talk about experience but in this case is any of it earned or was it handed to him because of who his Dad was?

Nepotism is an unfair advantage at any level, it's privilege that wasn't earned. But at the end of the day you still have to be voted in.

Yeah but you can't sit interns at the head of the board.

Cuomo is not perfect by any means but he:

1) legalized gay marriage before the SC
2) Implemented a $15 minimum wage
3) Implemented mandatory parental leave
4) Started America's first statewide tuition free college program (which my sister has taken advantage of)

He completely fukked up the the subway situation and that shyt needs to change, but he's arguably been the most progressive governor on America in his tenure in terms of policy.

She's no more qualified than you or me to run a state with the GDP of Korea and that's not an exaggeration.

Blindly touting experience is how you get stuck with corrupt politicians

Cuomo is a corrupt politician who is all about favors and quid pro quo. But being who he is maybe that's all he knows?
I have been hard on him but he has done some good things and he's better than a Republican. But still eight years is enough let's go in a different direction.

Vote for a Upstate Republican in the primary and we'll get a new direction.
