1. I could only support him in the most dire circumstances. I support him.

He ruined one of the best programs NY ever had for disabled children. It was also the program that provided half my income. I hated him then.

Then he was a literal hero during Covid. He was the lone voice of reason in a sea of "put a light up your ass" imbecility. He was out there every day giving us facts. At the time when my neighborhood was ground zero for the treatment of Covid and the sirens were blaring 24/7 and the local skating rink was made into an overflow morgue and we had nothing to fight it with, he kept me sane. That's not hyperbole.

Then he was revealed as a sexist scumbag. I was not opposed to his resignation.

But we are in a crisis. We need a bulldog. We need a guy with dirty hands who knows how to fight Mump.

I no longer live in the city, but I'm still close enough that the city's policies affect me every day. I can't vote for him but I hope he wins.

I know people think that's awful, but there it is.
