    How Zohran Wins: show up to the primary if you’re a registered Democrat in NYC or vote early (early voting has already started). It’s very important you reach out to as many like-minded friends and family as you can and tell them to vote in the primary. When they fill out their ballot they should if at all possible put five names on the ballot but they should NOT put Cuomo’s name on the ballot at all, not even last. When it’s election time I’m loud as heck about it, I ask people if they need a ride. I’ve been thanked before because people who I thought would be guaranteed voters actually needed the reminder and said they wouldn’t have voted if it wasn’t for me. Please try doing likewise. Never assume someone is going to vote. Always ask if they will.

    Filling out the ballot fully and excluding Cuomo’s name on the ballot is very important because he’s a sexual harasser and because he’d likely lose the general election. It’s going to be a tough general election because of Adams running as an independent. Cuomo and Adams are similar in a way so NYC needs someone who’s different. It’s basic marketing, kind of like product differentiation.


  • I really hope the passenger or passengers are OK. Being stuck in a burning car has to be one of the worst ways to go.

    This is why it’s so sick that Musk puts profits over safety. Elon Musk doesn’t care about the people who burn alive in his cars. If you drive a Tesla this could one day be your fate and you may not be able to escape. Teslas are designed to shut off power in a car accident yet they also use electric door handles. See the issue with that? They do have an emergency escape option but in an accident with all the adrenaline and emotion it may be hard to find them or use them. Certain Tesla models do not have an emergency escape option in the back. Please do not have passengers especially children in the back if your Tesla doesn’t have an emergency escape.

    If for some reason you own a Tesla: please for your own safety regularly practice exiting the vehicle using the emergency escape. I do not want this to happen to you or anybody. Also I know a car is a very major purchase but if it’s well within your means or something you could afford without a big impact on your finances you may want to consider getting another car when you can.



  • The Grayzone has suspicious ties to Russia.

    The Grayzone publishes questionable material, stating that a Chemical Attack did not occur in Douma, Syria OPCW investigator testifies at UN that no chemical attack took place in Douma, Syria. They have also promoted conspiracy theories, such as claiming that Pete Buttigieg is a CIA agent. There is no evidence to support this claim. Finally, according to Radio Free Asia, The Grayzone content is frequently shared by the Chinese Communist Party media outlets “CCP propaganda is also increasingly laundered through Western influencers and denialist fringe media outlets like The Grayzone,” the report said, adding that, between December 2019 and February 2021, The Grayzone was cited at least 313 times in Chinese state media.”

    Finally, The Grayzone promotes conspiracy theories involving George Soros funding regime changes, and the editor Max Blumenthal claims that Bill Gates ran a Covid simulation before it occurred. This is false. In general, The Grayzone promotes a socialist left perspective that promotes conspiracy theories and pro-Russian/Chinese propaganda.

    Falsely claiming that there were no chemical attacks in Syria is a hallmark of Russian propaganda.

    Even if this article is correct I would avoid giving them your clicks because of their weird ties to Russia.
