Eric Adams, Dem nominee and presumptive next Mayor of NYC (1 Viewer)

Amused to Death

Footballguy
I had heard his name but didn't know anything about him until his appearance on Bill Maher. I was very impressed with his message. He's very much a moderate and seems to be someone the Right wouldn't be able to put into a liberal box very easily. The clip below is only part of the interview but gives enough of an idea of what his beliefs are. I've very interested to hear more from him. I wish I could find the entire interview.

Anythings got to be better than the Communist you have in there now, right?

DeBlasio is a - and always has been - a train wreck of epic proportions.  On one hand, the people of NY get what they deserve.  On the other hand, he's destroying NY in front of our eyes.

McCain and Romney were accused of being liberals. 

 
Based on the increase in violence, homelessness problems, defund the police move, etc, can we expect more moderate dems for urban cities in the next cycle?

From the little I've seen, Adams is definitely against the socialist extremes of the party. The Dems voted against the Democratic Socialists in the Presidential primary and elected the very moderate Biden, now we're most likely going to have a former police captain and anti-socialist Eric Adams in the largest city in the country. I hope the DNC is paying attention.

Hey Dems: more of this Adams guy please! You'll win in perpetuity if you lose the goofy wishy washy vibe and go with a real world message like Adams brings. Slam dunk victories.

Hey Republicans: how about getting off the crazy train and giving more folks like Ben Sasse a shot? You might stay relevant in the long run if you come back to common sense land and stop relying on Dems to beat themselves. This current look is short sited and super tacky.

Yours truly 💕,

Everyone who isn't a political fan boy

They are.  The far-left of the Democrat party grows larger every election.  Just because it's not happening at lightning speed doesn't mean it isn't happening.  You can laugh and mock it now, but one day you'll wake up a member of the Communist Party.  It's coming, don't worry.

And I guarantee you will NOT be first amongst equals.

The Center holds. The Center held against Trump and his Cult of Personality.....it will hold against The Communist Party.   The Center holds.  

 
This guy will be branded a leftist by Republicans if he gains traction in the party.  It’s just what happens in politics, no avoiding it.

And the apparent next mayor of the largest city in the US is as anti-socialist as you can be, once again rejecting a far more extreme Democrat in the process.

But the right scores points by labelling all Dems as far-left socialists hell-bent on turning the country to Communism.

This is way too sweeping a generalization about Republican in-fighting. McCain was always accused of that by a specific sect of the Party, especially because of McCain-Feingold. Romney only has been recently, and only because of his unfortunate position on state insurance mandates coupled with his run for the presidency. Before that, he was bulletproof and people on the very far right (not the White Power far right, but the further than McCain right) saw him as Iron Man. Trump is person that got many to disapprove of Romney. And Romney did some things that would indeed endear himself to liberals, like marching lockstep with Black Lives Matter and the like. 

A questionable thing to align one's self with a movement that is based on queer theory headed by three Marxists that believe in street theater vs. legislative redress. 

My point is, Romney, before 2019, bore no blame. Now he does a bit.

We shall see. The center of the Republican Party didn't hold, and the only reason Democrats are winning in such large numbers is the defecting of the reasonable Republicans and Independents from that Republican non-center holding Party. The defectors and independents are causing the electoral landscape to shift, allowing the Democrats to nominate and win with centrists in these elections, and it would behoove someone to study it. (Not you, I mean that somebody serious should study how the rates of defection by Rs and Is are making the Dems more centrist when elections come down to it. Because the Party members themselves lean further left than ever, probably.)

If the Democrats overreach; they'll lose that center vote.  The one thing they got going for them right now is that since the Republican Party has become the  Trump Party, they can use the spectre of Donald Trump winning as a great fund raising motivation.

As it stands right now all the negative perceptions and realities of the Democratic Party coalition are less offensive to the Center than Trumpism.  If the R's dump Trump (which we know won't happen) I'd imagine the loss of the (for lack of better words) "jabroni" Trump fan would be far less than the return of those Centrists who would now see the negative aspects of the DNC as a greater threat.

Don’t know any thing about the guy but will look into him.  Unfortunately re: the bolded you well know there is only 3 categories anymore. Trumpers, RINO’s and Socialist Libs.   Nothing else exists.

That seems to be the opinion of too many people, sadly.

What we have to realize in reality that is really not true.  When Pelosi kinda mocked  "The Squad" saying they might have Twitter followers but they don`t get votes on their bills.

Of course it’s not actually true, but it’s also the reality of how huge swaths of people in this country bucket people.  

 
He was on Bill Maher’s panel last night. Just getting started in politics.but this guy has a bright future in the Dem party.

I loved last night's episode. Chris Christie sounds like a voice of reason in today's GOP. There was a lot of agreement and positive discussion - shame that seems like the anomaly.

Christie is a very good talker, always has been.

Agreed it was a good episode. Last one for awhile  :kicksrock:

One part on the convo I did find interesting from him was his talk about how he “defunded the police” in Camden. What he did there was essentially what many progressives understanding of what this terribly constructed phrase is.

It was by his accounts was very successful. 

Christie of course isn’t stupid enough to call it “defund the police”.

Maher is 100 on this topic and has been on the Dems for this for years - they have a bad habit of allowing their ideas to be painted negatively,

Totally agree. Dems are terrible at messaging. Christie, a Republican, did almost exactly what Dems are calling for and got tremendous results. It worked, but calling it "defund" was about the worst thing they could have done.

 
I did find it interesting that Adams said he hoped the SC would rule to keep their guns laws in NY as they are now.  

 
Based on this interview alone I would vote for either guy. Less tribalists and more centrists please. But I don't think either guy could get his party's nomination because ofthis.

No he didn't.  The Democrat Party could have put up David Duke and they would have voted for him because, well, "Not Trump!!!".

Don't try pushing this "moderate" BS down our throats.  He's been anything but.

Who ran as more moderate: Bernie / Liz or Biden? This is what it came down to for the Dems.

Klobacher and Pete were right there to but failed to gain the traction that Biden did.

 
Eric has some hard times ahead of him - as a law and order guy he has a DA that has decided just about anything under murder won't be prosecuted.  One example pointed out - an armed robbery will be treated as petty larceny unless someone was shot.  

I'd hate to work in a bank in the city right now. Talk about a target on your back.

No way.  Duke's a Trump supporter, especially after how Charlotte went down.  Very fine people.

They’re not serious about gun laws they just don’t want us to have them.
