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.

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?

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.

Yeah man. Giuliani was pretty damn influential for a while. Did you not notice that?

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.

Ok, so go mope in a corner and stop posting, because you have nothing to add to the conversation.

I don't really understand what the point of bringing up Giuliani here is...?
