It is really pathetic that with ten candidates running in the Democratic Primary for Mayor of NYC not one of them engaged TEACHERS FOR CHOICE in any meaningful way on our issues.
There are some good Dems out there - like PHIL WONG who we endorsed in Queens District 30. We will support those who support us regardless of political party.
And we will call out those who DON'T stand with us, too.
I used to vote blue, but no more. The party is rotten to the core. They're just interested in virtue signaling (as opposed to real social justice) and protecting their cushy jobs.
What a shame. Blake's answers come so close to being good — they come across as thoughtful and reasonable, but they're so non-committal as to be practically useless.
Also Blake voting YES to repeal the religious exemption for kids in 2019 is a blight too big for our community in NY right now. That's almost an original sin for medical freedom in NY: we need some repenting (Cuomo was the architect of the repeal in 2019 btw)
Curtis Sliwa was on the Brooklyn Bridge with us protesting the mandate in 2021. He always said that he was against it. Then Adams was elected. We all know how it ended. Time to move away from the Democratic party, for what I saw and experienced, they are not good period.
The state of the current Democratic party has been a hard realization for many of us. Now, as soon as I hear the word "fair," I run the other way.

The Dems have lost their mind Michael. They are the party of death.
There are some good Democrats left - and we will continue to support them. But the number of them is dwindling.

Why does it have to be a democrat ?! What about a republican?
This is just for the Democratic Primary. TEACHERS FOR CHOICE supports Curtis Sliwa big time!
