    I can’t believe someone that became governor because she was picked by Andrew Cuomo would turn out to be not a very good person.

    Meanwhile there’s literally an f’n school named the Bronx High School of Science, or better known around the city as Bronx Science, this school has literally produced Nobel prize winners, Neil Degrassi Tyson is one of the many notable alumni of Bronx Science:

    Also noted are quite a few Politicians and many more:

    I’ve known quite a few people that went to Bronx Science, obviously not all of them are famous people, but it’s a highly regarded school within the borough.

    There’s no better example of why the dem party needs to get money out of primaries than NY “Dems”.

    If they could win elections as Republicans they’d be running as Republicans.

    And honest candidates can’t compete against millions of dollars spent in primaries.

    The party doesn’t care. Because all they care about is donations.

    But we don’t need all those corporate/dirty donations if we run candidates we actually like.

      Dems like Hochul and Mayor Adams are the worst, truly representatives of modern conservativism within the party.

      This is why if MAGA loses in November and if a GOP collapse from being broke and lacking support happens we’ll probably see the Dems go back to being the Right/Conservatives while a new Left/Progressive party emerges, or at least that’s what should happen in a functional adversarial democracy.

    It’s surprising to me how often high profile Democrats, who really should know better, make racially stereotyped comments like this.

      Not surprising at all if you’re familiar with the state. I’ve got family from NYC who are very staunch Democrats and extremely racist.

      Remember that Donny from Queens was a staunch Democrat all through the 80s and 90s.

        Donnie was only a “staunch” Democrat because he was playing to the local crowd. Was he ever a true Democrat? Did he ever care about any of the traditional issues? No chance.

        Like Bloomberg they’re just Dem to fit in and not be ostracized. All those fucks are conservative Republicans in reality.

      It shouldn’t be since disconnected rich twats abound, you’re simply choosing your favorite flavor to support politically.

      Why should they know better?

      She, and Chuck Schummer, will always have more in common with Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump, then with any working class voter, or rank and file Democrat.

      They’re two sides of the same coin, serving the same master.

    “Right now, we have young Black kids growing up in the Bronx who don’t even know what the word computer is. They don’t know, they don’t know these things," Hochul said while on stage at the Milken Institute Global Conference.

    Woooow. These dumb Black kids in the Bronx, am I right? /s

    What a fucking vile statement. I hope her ass gets primaried.

      All you had to do is say “Kids in the Bronx are being deprived of life skills like computer science”

      Like it’s not hard to just say people aren’t getting what they deserve. But if you grew up a certain way I guess that level of empathy is a stretch.
