New York City Can Do Better Than Andrew Cuomo

The eight million inhabitants of New York are used to a certain amount of ambient misery. Waste bags border the streets from time to time, although the city has recently spent $ 1.6 million on McKinsey consultants who told them that they could and should use wheel bins instead. There are more rodents than people. They (people, not rodents) pay astronomical sums to rent. Aaron Rodgers briefly played the quarter of the New York jets.

When you bring all this to New Yorkers, they make fun. Of course, there are drawbacks, they often say, but they live in the Big Apple! An international capital of art, culture, media, finance, sports and human experience! The place where Babe Ruth struck all these circuits! The place where certain Marvel films takes place! New York’s intrinsic and ineffable size, according to them, is well worth the price of everything else.

Perhaps this high tolerance for low expectations is the reason why New Yorkers could elect Andrew Cuomo as the next mayor of their city. The city’s electorate will go to the polls on Tuesday to elect its next leader. (Well, technically, they will elect the Democratic candidate for the mayor, but in the Big Apple Bleu Saphir, it is often the same thing.) Cuomo, the former governor of the State, is among the many candidates in the running for democratic appointment and is one of the two who currently directs the polls.

Eleven Democrats present themselves for the town hall this year. (Not among them, Eric Adams, the holder, who presents himself as independent for reasons that we will discuss later.) I admit that I am disconcerted, as a non -new Yorker, that Cuomo is not classified eleventh in public opinion polls on the preferences of voters. It would be the worst choice possible to direct the largest city in the country at the worst time possible.
