Yang knows damn well he don't ride the train. Stop pandering man, you aint gotta prove to us how much of an average NYer you are, we know you're not. That's ok. Won't be the first millionaire mayor we've ever had.

I swear Yang is going to take a flick at Foot Locker, lacing up some Lugz but talking about “I wear Timbs like a real New Yorker. Yaaaagggg!” I’m just waiting for him to do a “Bodegas are our friends” sequel video with Taylor “All Back” Swift

 

[RustyShackleford]

I need Yang to Tweet "Welcome home Robby Murder" to let the streets know he is with them

That article seems to say that he’s self reporting his income as being that high - so it’s probably all nonsense.

His whole “empire” has to be a house of cards so hopefully he’ll be broke soon.

Just like with antifa they are trying to create a group of people that don’t exist. Cancel culture is not a group of people. You can’t combat people not wanting to buy or sell to racists and Trump supporters. What a complete waste of time and tax dollars. What complete idiots

[RustyShackleford]

That is so ****ing disgusting

So you gonna make people wait in like for 8 hours, and criminalize folk giving them water

That is just some remixed Jom Crow

 

[RustyShackleford]

Remember everyone, these are the voter suppression tactics dwalk31 supported with his ballot

 

[Fozz]

That is terrible.

 

[Comparison Ford]

Someone wanna explain the restriction of providing food and drinks to voters waiting in line?

There's gotta be an argument being made behind that, and I'm sure it's terrible.

 

[don ramon]

that's egregiously designed to insult and harm

The majority of black counties usually have fewer places to vote per capita than whiter counties

So there are places where people have to wait 3, 5, 8, or even longer to vote.

The logic is is that the longer it takes to vote, the more people on the margin give up on it after a while A lot of people just give up after a few hours because they are hungry or tired

So voter rights activists would bring chairs, food, and drinks to give to people in line as a way to keep their spirits up so they won't leave.

So now Republicans want to ban them from doing this, so when they reduce polling stations in black neighborhoods, and the lines last hours, people will be more inclined to give up and go home.

So is the flipside of this that these activists are somehow "buying" votes with snacks and drinks? That's more what I'm getting at.

Yes, that is the legal justification the GOP will likely use when they get sued.

That giving someone a bottle of water is essentially a bribe to get a vote.
