But there is still time from now til June 2025, when he will be on the ballot again.
People didn't like Bloomberg, Giuliani and de Blasio, and they still won reelection.
Bloomberg was good at his job, Adams is not.

He's a Black religious Democrat----he is what South Carolina Dems would select in a primary....the Dems are a big tent party, and Black guys like Adams are plenty in the Dem party...

So being black makes him a good democrat? LOL OK. Like someone else above said, what is it with you and race?

He is a representation of the Democratic Party---moderate Black man who the party needs....if NYC was not bogged with the migrant situation and budget problems, he'd be the perfect face of the party, people like him and Val Demings---they can't be bullshitted with...unlike AOC, etc. who would be weak to swing voters.

So what do you think of the substantive criticism of him, that he’s bad at his job?

I agree, he is not doing so well right now, but supporters of his will say criticism is racist and that black mayors are set up to fail in NYC (See David Dinkins and his mayoralty), so you better prepare for Al Sharpton, Adams' confidante and best friend, to come after you and others who criticize Adams...would you do the same to Giuliani, de Blasio and other white mayors, Al will say.

So again great - he’s bad at his job and that’s why people don’t like him.

You got your answer, aren’t you happy?

At what point does the OPs obsession with race become a big enough problem to get him banned?

I can’t think of a single SC black democrat who advocated for zero separation of church and state

Message for OP. Remember when Republicans freaked out at the prospect of Sharia Law? That was made up bullshit, but was an example of the mixing of church and state.

He has made blatantly racist comments already but he has avoided using the more pejorative terms which seems to be where the line is.

Being opposed to the Establishment clause in the 1a is not a moderate position.

Why is everything about race to you?

It's because she's Russian, and an obvious troll.

The singular Russian strategy to this kind of divisive rhetoric is to latch on to something that is found elsewhere in the world but is wholly unacceptable to Russian culture (non-whites, gays, democracy) and use it as a cudgel against the targeted community as an attempt to sow division and wreak havoc in the planned election season for that "enemy nation."

It's all really quite simple, and I think we all know that. Getty Road's instructions are to ignore all direct criticism and questioning of her simple-minded, irrelevant posting that reflects nothing realistic about the targeted country and targeted group (USA; Democratic party) and keep hammering home the 2nd grade talking points of the ave. ill-informed simpleton.

Getty Road is simply a fucking useless Russian troll. There's tens of thousands just like her, whose sole existence is to pocket handfuls of rubles just posting scripted nonsense all over the internet. No, ATP&N is not "too small" to gain their attention. It is exactly the type of breeding ground that these bot farms seek in order to infect the wider culture. It spreads.

Getty Road created her account as part of the Trump campaign and the thoroughly documented operation from the Soviets, with direct assistence from the Trumps themselves (again--as confessed to by the Trump family) to get Trump elected. Getty Road was/is a "Bernie Bro" and you will only see more of this overlap as the election draws closer. Getty Road doesn't have to mention her specific goal of electing Trump at all--just sow whatever mental chaos she can manage against the target crowd.

In a way, none of this really matters to Getty Road but if anything, as a degenerate Russian, she probably experiences confusion when her talking points don't land, because she literally can not understand how race, sexuality, and the promotion of abject fascism don't strike the same chords with actual humans. As a degenerate Russian, Getty Road simply can not calculate anything outside of her reality that only whites, sociopathic "Christians" and straight fascist cvnts aren't the only acceptable demographic in a developed nation. It is literally outside of her brain capacity, after being raised in the absolute shittiest hellhole of a country to exist throughout recorded history.
