An interesting note about the Andrew Cuomo's win

Although Andrew Cuomo won the NY governorship Democratic primary by a sweeping margin, there was an interesting fact easy to miss. Cynthia Nixon actually did nine points better than she had in the last poll. This is another suggestion of the role that unexpected voters may play in upcoming elections. There are, for example, 12 GOP governorships and 2 Democratic ones that the polls say are too close to call. Getting out the young, black, latino and women's vote is essential.

Please STOP with the identity politics - THAT is the politics of division and tribalism - which ultimately leads to systemic breakdown and civil war.; September 15, 2018 at 1:20 AM
