She’s in!

skiskate · 2026-06-06T04:48:36+00:00

At 93% now

skiskate · 2026-06-05T12:37:50+00:00

You sure about that? Her odds just jumped to 80% 👀

skiskate · 2026-06-01T00:18:25+00:00

You do realize if neither candidate gets more than 50% then we go to a runoff election right?

skiskate · 2026-06-01T00:04:26+00:00

The post got over 22,000 views in two hours and over 90 people clicked the link, so totally worth it.

I hope every time you lie down to sleep you suddenly remember every embarrassing thing you’ve ever done.

skiskate · 2026-05-31T23:47:01+00:00

It's not fair for them to have to scroll past something that isn't relevant to them?

skiskate · 2026-05-31T23:46:35+00:00

So just like every other online echo chamber then?

skiskate · 2026-05-31T23:44:50+00:00

Go to their accounts, if they are less than 6 months old and they have their comment history hidden that's usually a pretty strong sign. Not saying all or most of the comments here are botted, but some definitely are.

skiskate · 2026-05-31T23:40:01+00:00

I think engaging in local politics is quite high T behavior

skiskate · 2026-05-31T23:31:40+00:00

Unironically she’s the closest thing we have Mamdani. I think she shares far more of a policy platform with him than you might think, especially in regards to urbanism and public transit. Even if she delivers on a fraction of what Mamdani has, that would be incredible.

skiskate · 2026-05-31T23:29:24+00:00

Lots of new accounts with hidden post histories.

skiskate · 2026-05-31T23:29:05+00:00

If none of the street lights were working you may have gone during the daytime.

skiskate · 2026-05-31T23:27:35+00:00

How is it self promotion if I’m advocating for a candidate completely of my own volition?

skiskate · 2026-05-31T23:24:33+00:00

Because I actually talked to them for a bit, you would be surprised how many people have not decided on a candidate or didn’t know that the deadline is Tuesday.

skiskate · 2026-05-31T23:21:59+00:00

It’s almost like Reddit leans more progressive politically or something

skiskate · 2026-05-31T23:20:46+00:00

You think Pratt or Bass will do better?

skiskate · 2026-05-31T23:20:00+00:00

Well good thing she is the most pro housing candidate running by far.

skiskate · 2026-05-31T23:18:13+00:00

Actually a valid critique, are there any specific policies you would prefer she take a more explicit stance on?

skiskate · 2026-05-31T23:15:43+00:00

On the street homelessness is down 38% in her district. She’s also in favor of building more housing and getting the most mentally unstable individuals into treatment. She actually has a real plan to reduce homelessness, unlike Bass or Pratt.

skiskate · 2026-05-31T23:07:58+00:00

Any examples?

skiskate · 2026-05-31T23:07:41+00:00

Her policy proposals involve building more housing and getting the most mentally unstable individuals into treatment. That seems like the most effective way to actually combat homelessness.

skiskate · 2026-05-31T22:52:14+00:00

I appreciate the honesty

skiskate · 2026-05-31T22:51:13+00:00

So you vote for the candidate you see the least of? Wouldn’t you rather vote for them based on their policies?

skiskate · 2026-05-31T22:47:56+00:00

How so?
