Reply to comment by whybother5000 in A+ coalition building by Progressive Democrats leader Hector Oseguera. Is this his strategy for getting >30% of the vote next time? by clade_nade

He's also a fake progressive like Brian Stack (who is currently using gobs of taxpayer money to fight Hoboken on their plan to build housing that might slightly block some Union City millionaires NYC views). The machine likes him. He voted to ban all marijuana stores from opening in Union City and I have no doubt he'd extend that to all of Hudson County if allowed.

As one of those blue collar Union City residents about to have his view blocked, I can guarantee you there aren’t many of these “millionaires” you’re dreaming up. Pretty normal people who just like to keep the little they have.

The only places I see at that valuation have tremendous HOA fees pricing out the working class

You almost make it sound like the rental market is any more generous. In any event, I’m still a union worker and not a millionaire.

You're the one who bragged about your Stack endorsement. While you're here, care to tell us why you believe marijuana doesn't belong in Union City? You made public comments claiming to be in support of marijuana sales in Union City and then went ahead and voted to ban it anyways, just like Stack. The literal textbook machine politician play.

I was never endorsed by Brian Stack. He endorsed my opponent in 2020.

I also never voted against dispensaries in UC because I’m not on City Council. The UC Council voted on the ordinance to ban cannabis dispensaries.

As a member of the Planning Board my vote was that the ordinance was consistent with the City’s Master Plan, because it is consistent with the Master Plan, despite my personal feelings about the substance of the ordinance.

If you check the Board minutes I spoke at length about my opposition to banning dispensaries & gave an interview to the Hudson County View reiterating my views. I have always been pro cannabis legalization.

Why was it necessary to say all the stuff about "this is a very densely populated community" if you didn't want it to pass? I also don't agree that the majority of Union City residents (an extremely Democratic city) oppose marijuana legalization. The true majority would have supported (had it not been for suppression through machine power) and a no vote on that would have given them a voice.

You said earlier that I bragged about getting Stack’s endorsement, but you’re showing me a tweet where I said that he does retail politics better than other elected officials in Hudson County, which is just a statement of objective fact.

What’s the point of indicating that it’s a densely populated community as part of banning dispensaries?

Hey Hector. I proudly voted for you in the last election but this really isn't a good look. I agree with your policies but on-line trolling and taunting feels an awful lot like an ex-president of ours. Might I kindly recommend logging off for a bit. It's the internet. Every tweet isn't a battle cry and there are much better ways to use your time. Good luck.
