I doubt I have any that you aren't already familiar with: coalitions and vote drives and all the hopeless drudgery critical to democracy. No easy wins.
And I think that's harmed by tacit endorsements of divisiveness, however ill-defined the group it's aimed at.

Affordable Housing was the number 1 issue during my campaign. If you’d like a full rundown on what I proposed you can find it here:

It's definitely not by tweeting shit like that. What do you propose to lower housing costs (both for tenants and homeowners)?

Reply to comment by reputationStan in CONFESSION TIME: If I know I can make the round trip within the allotted 1 hour I will only activate a single Light Rail ticket by kraghis
I never would’ve thought NJ Transit would actually invest in its infrastructure. I’ve seen what look like ticket scanners for quite a while, I’ve never been asked to scan my ticket though.

Correct. New York was really the only place the GOP did well in the midterms, largely due to the crime messaging. They flipped 2 blue districts on Long Island, picked up seats in the state legislature in the city, and had the closest gubernatorial election in almost 20 years.

Reply to imagine paying for the light rail by skyeyemx
Light rail also covers a longer distance in a shorter amount of time compared to NYC subway. If I’m going to midtown sometimes I take the HBLR to Lincoln harbor and then grab the bus to PABT. Usually faster than PATH to WTC and then 1 train.

No, that's not what I'm saying at all. Republicans always run on law and order (as hypocritical as it is) and NY Dems dropped the ball hard by trying to follow suit. Many in NY bought what the Republicans were saying, not just Asians.

More than happy to hear your suggestions on effectively taking on the HCDO.

More evidence that progressives are absolutely unhinged and people should not vote for them.

So the Asian community is just ignoring the former presidents kung flu comments and the violence that was associated with it? Not to mention the white supremicist language and actions from the right? As a minority myself I would never support the Republican Party as it is currently

I’d rather build coalitions with different communities. But I don’t get where everyone is saying this is anti Asian. But I can see what is it saying.

A sister city means absolutely nothing and it's entirely ceremonial. It's dumb they didn't do their research but it's really pointless.

You were able to get bonuses in the past. Mta got rid of it a few years back and many people still have weird balances. My card has a 0.02 balance if fully depleted.
Pro tip - always buy $22 or $44 when refilling so you don’t leave any balances

Well this is Jersey City so naturally our sister city belongs to a country known for their human rights violations - neat!

Its not that complicated.

Its just successful propaganda.

It’s complicated. But the violence those communities experienced had a profound impact. Another issue which is making many Asians support Republicans is education and affirmative action.
