My first reply was pretty aggressive. Sorry about that. My emotional regulation is not so good late in the day. Still I don’t think we need to cater to perceived centrism. I can acknowledge that Mamdani had to overcome 2 parties to get elected, but he won the NYC mayoral race by 9.5 points despite running against an independent candidate endorsed by the incumbent mayor and with massive investment in his campaign by AIPAC and a laundry list of Republican PACs. I think that’s significant enough of a spread to overcome the thought that being leftist makes you unappealing to upstate independent voters. Given Mamdani’s performance so far, if he can keep gaining support through political action, I see no reason why a leftist candidate endorsed by Mamdani in a state election would struggle to win Shumer’s seat. Personally. I understand others may disagree, but we tried Shumer’s strategy and it led us to Trump.

New York just elected the most progressive mayor in history. What the fuck do you mean?

Well, you could potentially get a cheap office special PC to use as a guinea pig. (Depending on what it takes to run this software)

Fishy how? As in a state-level backdooring like was the case with XZ and Jia Tan or are you weary of something else?

Its going to be pretty pricey but the commuter bag from LTT is probably exactly what you are looking for. Canadian company that’s mostly tech centric but they have a consumer goods portion of the company that focuses on making high quality items that are built to last.
