I'm starting to think that asking rotten people to pretty please do the right thing doesn't work.

Eleana Little is a worthy candidate for county and one to watch. Voting out the DeGises' cronies would be a good path forward.

Who the fuck cares. She hit some fucking loser who was running the light. The loser got what he deserved (getting hit by a car). She got what she deserved (loss of license for a year). Justice has been served.

Right? This shit is getting annoying. Most of us do not give a fuck that some attention-seeking lying dipshit who ran a red light got hit by a nepotistic psychopath.
Everyone sucks here. Let's move on and complain about bagels.

I heard she hates Mormons

There's no fucking coverup. She committed a moving violation. She went to court. She got a suspended license from the judge. It's fucking over. I won't vote for her if she ever shows up on my ballot, but this obsession is as unhealthy as Twitter's obsession with the stupid fucking Harry Potter game.

No one is bringing up the cyclist. Everyone is talking about a lack of accountability from an elected official with a long history of using personal connections to skirt the law. Why comment here if you don’t care/aren’t employed by the city to distract from the issue?
nycdevil t1_j7nnnkx wrote
When and if that more comes to light, feel free to bring it up. Hold politicians to account, it's a good thing to do. But the idea that this incident is worth the ridiculous obsession is just fucking pathetic.

Because I'm annoyed by all the DeGise posts that I don't give a shit about clogging up the screen? Fuck, I'd vote for her out of spite at this point.

Well said.

Lmfaoooo. At this point just to get everyone in this sub fired up I’d vote for anyone that hits a cyclist

You do understand that legally, she can't be recalled yet. Short of someone trying vigilante justice, this is literally the extent of the organized action that can take place. Not a single thing more can be done.

Right?
Her tough-on-cyclists stance really does appeal to me, as someone who has to both drive and walk in this city.
It's impossible to tell whether I hate JC cyclists more as a pedestrian or a motorist.
Blankman8 t1_j7nrr72 wrote
Exactly. And for me who has yet to see a bike going down newark or Bergen ave
fasulo_ t1_j7nudi8 wrote
Ok now imagine someone commits a felony hit and run on you or someone in your family, is it just a “moving violation”?
Stop licking the boots of corrupt government officials. Ask for accountability.
bindrosis t1_j7nygl5 wrote
Why can’t she be recalled? Isn’t it a matter of signatures and then a vote?
DirectorBeneficial48 t1_j7o7dln wrote
Because there's a law on the books that says that an elected official can't be placed up for recall within - don't quote me on the length here, I'm going from memory from what Solomon said once - the first 2 years of their term.

I don't run red lights on moving vehicles, so the situation wouldn't happen to me. She went to court and lost her license for a year, seems like exactly what I would expect to happen.

What cover up? There is no cover up. They are openly corrupt and don't care what you think because there is nothing you can do about it.

Consequences don’t end at the law.
Nobody likes her anymore because she didn’t stop to see if the biker was ok. People don’t want unlikable politicians. This hate is justified.

For a citizen?
For an elected official that has been hiding from the public and being held accountable?
No.
DifficultyNext7666 t1_j7ptb2w wrote
Hey dumb ass, there have been multiple news paper articles and blog articles on this.
Do you think this has been covered up? Words have meaning. This isn't a cover up. They just don't care

The fact that white people make up something like 30% of the population in Jersey City but 99% of the attendance at this rally pretty neatly underscores the political challenge here.

Being called a dumbass for being a dumbass isn't striking a nerve.
You need to go outside sometime.

You are the perfect example of my point - insisting that nothing more than posting bitchy comments on-line can be done based on something you think you remember hearing at some point in the past.
If you, or any of the people who regularly complain about her on this forum actually cared, you'd expend even the slightest effort to learn what, how and when you could do something more than snark at her on Reddit.

JC has 240-250K residents & only 20-30 people show up to these protests all the time. Let’s you know all you need to know. Don’t be shocked when elections come around.
DirectorBeneficial48 t1_j7qh92b wrote
You dumb, ignorant useless turd. There are currently literally zero legal options available for voters to expel her out of city council. Get that through your head.
> more than snark at her on Reddit.
People literally just did a protest (OUTSIDE OF REDDIT) as a way of attempting to shame her (again, literally the only legal option directed at her) to do more than snark at her. This is the thread concerning that.
Again, to repeat the point, people literally just did something IRL and you're out here complaining IN THAT THREAD ABOUT THEM DOING THAT IRL THING that people should stop complaining online. You dumb fucking loser.

You have no point, because you're arguing against reality. You're a gigantic waste of oxygen and I feel very bad for every person who interacts with someone as stupid as you on a regular basis. Please stop eating paint.

Which she will ignore, again.
Which will elicit vows to recall her, again.
Which will result in zero tangible, organized action, again.
Which will spur the activists to call for her resignation, again.
Repeat ad nauseam.
