says they will run Republicans and/or Democrats. I’m just glad I don’t see that strange dichotomy in the Democratic platform.

Glad to see that she is putting the pedal to the metal at home. I want her to righteously stomp her republican rival on Nov 6.

from the Gotham Gazette, short snapshots to kick off, then rather long recountings of their records. Can't evaluate for balance and honesty, but looks good on the surface. Few voters have this kind of primary resource, but all should.

Belying people like Nixon and Ocasio-Cortez grabbing headlines, they seem like a relatively good set of choices for AG even though they don't include an experienced incumbent.

I've liked the little I've read about Teachout, seeming like a committed reform leftist without Sanders' dysfunctional gadflyism. I liked that she kept some distance from him in 2016. Since it's not my state, I haven't really paid attention, though. The worst thing I know about her is that she's running in a party that's at the same running an actress to be this extremely complex state's chief executive administrator. !!!!!. Lol. And one of the best things I know about Sanders is that he refused to get involved with that.
