    Mayor of the biggest city in the nation is pretty damn important. Higher population than half the states in the nation. Most governors are small potatoes in comparison.

      Oh you mean like Rudy Giuliani? Mayor of the biggest city? The Mayor of America?

      Unless we’re going to back to polities like the ancient Greeks NYC thinks too highly of itself.

          He had influence because of a terrorist attack and being a dumb lickspittle to a con man with Russian mob contacts. New Yorkers hated Giuliani before it was cool.

          I refuse to have hope.

        These are his policies:

        rent freeze, making city buses free and raising taxes on the most wealthy

        If this goes ahead in NY, you can be damn sure that it’s going to stir the pot.

        I mean, yes? What point do you think you’re making here by bringing up someone who hasn’t been mayor for nearly 30 years?
