Adams is trash. No one I know (here in NYC) voted for him or even likes him, but I hang out in pretty left wing circles.
I voted for him, and regret it so much. I was a true dingus. I’m on the Mamdani bandwagon, now.

Well, there’s no going back and changing the past, so the best you can do is learn. Glad you’ve come around!
