You go girl, proving a woman governor in NY can be every bit as much a corporate owned corrupt sellout as a man, fucking the people every bit as hard!

That's what happens when a state becomes a 1 party state, the corporations know who to back each time and it becomes a feeding cycle.

Why don’t you run for local office this year or state legislature if you think you can do better?

lol the most tired comeback possible.

you don’t have to be able to or want to do something to identify when someone it doing it badly.

like, I don’t want to defend Kathy Hochul. I wouldn’t be good at it. But I can definitively say you’re doing a bad job.

It’s not tired at all. If you think you can do better present yourself as a candidate.

So I’m assuming you’ve never ever criticized Trump? Or if you have you’ve run for office right?

I can see why you lost. I figure if your constituents had problems you’d tell them to just run against you instead of doing your job and listening to voter concerns

citytiger t1_j2s9iu8 wrote

No that’s not what I’d tell them.

EzNotReal t1_j2sar7e wrote

I mean that’s what you’re saying across this entire thread pretty much. You understand not everyone is able to drop everything and run for office right?

I also don't think people not willing to suckle the corporate teat stand a chance to get elected. She's in this position because she plays ball.

Rubbish. This is a generic dismissive answer.

I don't think that it is. The operative word is think. Because it's my opinion. But man. I wish to be wrong because we need some incorruptible heavy hitters fighting for us.

I have 0 background in this field. But I want to see change enough that Id throw my hat in the ring. I'd like to think people would vote for someone who just wants to do the right thing. I'd get assassinated day 1 lol

You don’t Need a background in politics to run for office. Why don’t you throw your hat in the ring? Local elections are this year.

If you have a better answer, please give it. Otherwise you simply cannot criticize this answer.

another snoozer! no one is claiming that they, specifically, would do better. they are saying she's not doing well. if you can't even participate in the same argument stop replying.

Imagine going to a restaurant, not liking the food, and some little shit tells you to cook it yourself if you don’t like it.

Are only those willing to run for office allowed to voice opinions?

GlitteringHighway t1_j2rkjxt wrote

Booooo!

Edit: She sabotaged the right to repair bill last second by changing a few words before she signed it. This is how democrats sabotage their base….by being corporate shills.

This is also how Trump and populist fascism gained power. Both parties are not the same but this is Dems shooting themselves in the foot.

Is that like your go to comeback?? You have to know that not everyone is a fan. You find no faults with her?? If you don't, you're ignorant and if you do, "why don't you run for state legislature if you think you can do better". Thank you for posting about today being her sworn in today but that's all you had to do. Now move the hell on 🙄

That’s another phrase that’s thrown around to describe everyone. If you think you can do better run for local office or state legislature.

You can taste the shit in a shit sandwich without being the one who made it. She needs a NASCAR style suit so we know who bought her.

And what’s your response to her sabotage? Is that ok with you?

What are you talking about? If you think you can be a better legislator run for state legislature.,

EzNotReal t1_j2rzbzd wrote

So is anyone ever allowed to be upset about anything? Can I complain about pot holes or will your response be that I should try becoming a construction worker? Am I allowed to be upset about power outages or am I not allowed to unless I work at a power plant? You are so fucking absurd and if you’re legitimately unaware of how fallacious your logic is and not actively trying to argue in bad faith it’s kinda sad.

citytiger t1_j2s892q wrote

Not what I said at all. It’s so easy to complain on Reddit instead of telling your legislators how you feel or running for office yourself.

EzNotReal t1_j2sa00l wrote

Democracy runs on public discourse. The public discusses amongst themselves the problems they have with the current administration and determines whether they want to re-elect incumbents. The public should not all run for office if they have a problem, they vote for another candidate that will do hopefully do what they want.

I really don’t understand what you want, should I never complain about public officials with other voters and advocate for change without having to uproot my life plans and run for office? Like in your world is it wrong for me to do anything about issues I have with government other than run for office or get a generic email back from an intern when I write my congressperson? Do you understand issues I have with your line of thought at all?

People don't get elected based on their ability to do the job well, that's the problem. They get elected based on who they pander to and how well they do that. Hochul sucks.

It’s so meaningful and powerful and symbolic that the sexual abuser ex-Governor’s appointee continues to lead the state after his resignation.

DLFiii t1_j2r84mz wrote

She was voted in by the people with a decent margin. You can’t primary somebody like Jumane Williams and expect them to actually win.

It’s almost as if NY is a moderate state and not far left like the Reddit crowd likes to perpetuate.

Edit: and the downvotes proving my point.
