Kraft should be a no go just baed on the fact his father negotiated a legal firm to bend the knee to the Felon.

Kraft may have registered as a Democrat recently, but you can bet your sweet pippy he will continue to vote fascist. His only exception to that rule would be to vote for himself.

Rhetorical question: why is he not running as a fascist (republicon)?

It is infuriating that these silver spoon nobodies (Boys and Girls clubs raise my eyebrows—I don’t know about you) believe they have a right to co-opt hardworking Boston voters.

How come there is nothing at all in the Contrarian about the NYC mayoral primary?

Is it because of how shameful it is that the Democratic establishment has chosen to back a Trump-like, neo-Republican sexual predator who resigned from his previous office in disgrace just a few short years ago?

Is it because his main opponent is a young Muslim who refuses to kowtow to Israel (why this is deemed important for an NYC mayor is anyone's guess), and is a genuine progressive?

I’m absolutely certain that Trump and the 2025 Project are going to pull out all stops in their pursuit of the subjugation of all groups save White Christian Nationalists. We should all practice twisting and bending so we can ultimately kiss our sweet asses goodbye.

Shalise, You missed several of Mayor Wu’s major missteps. Failure to win state legislative approval for property tax overhaul. Support for privatizing public park facilities at White Stadium for a for profit women’s soccer team in historic Franklin Park. Her support has been opposed by the Emerald Necklace Conservancy, the Franklin Park Defenders and the NAACP. An idealogue without nuance on what constitutes a healthy city. You make it sound so simple. Privilege outsider versus privileged woman of the people. Josh Kraft may not have know his ward number. Many Bostonians don’t. I didn’t until I moved from Dorchester to the suburbs and had to look it up for an article I wrote as a long time staffer for The Boston Globe in 1989. Yours was hardly balanced reporting. Too easy to make into David v Goliath. There are no white or black hats here. I expect more nuance political reporting from The Contrarian. Over and out for now, OEM88

Just like our FF47 — entitled, a know-nothing about anything, completely incompetent for any office. Phew!
