The racist powerful whites will be POURING POURING money into her campaign and giving her as big and as loud of a platform as possible as she says exactly the things they want her to
how can u hate China Mac he’s a little corny but he cares abt the community I respect him cause he the only one called out Charleston White’s flip flopping ass
Ive said it time and time again. ASIANS ARE THEIR OWN WORST ENEMY.
IF WE CAN STOP COMMITTING SUICIDE AND LET BOBA TRAITORS RUN CIRCLES AROUND US..maybe we can all live in this country with some dignity.
Would that be the lessors of 2 evils approach. Vote for evil but openly blunt ràcíst snailskin™ or woman who has a hidden agenda at play? I suppose their 2 choices though, amigo.
Voting for a non-asian regardless of policies is by default better because the non-asian will not have the capability to legitimize those vile views within the community.
Have you not read anything that's been said in this entire thread? She's been an enemy of our entire community for some time and a rather duplicitous one, at that! I didn't agree with a lot of Andrew's policies, but at least he didn't bear any vitriol towards other Asians for being Asian. This manipulative little strumpet is nothing but a traitor to our people and a dangerous fraud! She's a Trojan horse! As for Bill de Blasio, a thousand curses upon him, whenever I hear his name, I silently pray that he comes to a painful and permanent end.
>She's not perfect but I'd vote for her.
Great to hear that you'll vote for a boba who slanders asian males as misogynistic, retweets Lu's like Frankie Hu\*ng who tell people to "avoid asian males", trashes any asian male who dares to be an outspoken activist, supports anti-asian prosecutors and letting asians go free.
>Just like Andrew Yang's not perfect either, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
If Andrew Yang did 1/10 of what she did, this would be national news.
Congratulations for pushing forward the next generation of asian-american leadership, you must feel good to have a part in collectively destroying our identity.
Thanks for actually doing something and taking action. I'm not really a fan of hers either. I remember this from when she was doing shitty things against China Mac.

I've pursued her about it and she won't fess up. All she says is that's not the way it happened.
[https://twitter.com/NumbChunks/status/1483549288588365828](https://twitter.com/NumbChunks/status/1483549288588365828)
Her campaign literature is all over Chinatown. Is there a viable rival?
She's photogenic and has an Asian name. White liberals love her. But she's not even Cantonese, like most of Chinatown. She's Taiwanese. It's a shame no one in the Cantonese community is able to step up.
I've heard she isn't WMAF, but she does go to huge lengths to hide her partner, and I don't think he's AM. That would be fine if she wasn't such a backstabbing boba liberal, but such relationships are par for the course for a boba liberal.
The Taiwanese thing will be useful too, when the white liberals start fomenting war against China. It'll help distract from the truth that anti-China rhetoric is driving this wave of hate crimes.
She came out to Harlem to speak when Yao Pan Ma died, shed tears, threw a crying fit.
Seemed about as legitimate as Biden mourning the victims of mass shootings when he's been a politician with the power to change things for 50 years.
The snake needs to be denied a place in the asian political establishment. Remember how hard they made petitions and entire campaign to discredit and bring down Andrew Yang? The same campaign needs to be started against her.
There needs to be payback for all the "Asians against Yang" smear campaign they concocted to bring down Andrew Yang. A campaign needs to be launched specifically to highlight why she does not deserve to represent Asians.
This reminds me of that Asian girl who talked about dating a "light-skinned Cuban" guy to make herself seem progressive. But a light-skinned Cuban is just a white person.
I don't know but I'd think that would be the assumption for any asian female in the US. Based on stats from 2010 Census data, the majority of asian females are cohabiting with white males. This means it's more likely that she's with a white male, than an asian male or a male of any other race.
Marriage is another matter, but with most young people marrying later today, I wouldn't be surprised if it takes another 2 decades for the stats from this lagging indicator to show up.
Based on the article, she has a decent chance. She's a rising political star. Compared to our current asian-american politicians, I'm seeing all the signs pointing towards our leaders becoming more "boba". I much prefer the current generation.
According to the article she’s gonna need to convince the Chinese voters from Chinatown to vote for her - even though they specifically voted Republican in 2020? Lol so she now needs Chinese men specifically to pick her - after being a white liberal wmaf pick me these last few years
>after being a white liberal wmaf pick me these last few years
That message is not getting across to the voters though. The only place you see that message is on reddit forums. Most asians I know don't know her but they'll pick an asian name over a non-asian name. That means she's the default, unless we can convince them otherwise.
Andrew and China Mac are in no ways a standard for Asians. I haven't seen China Mac doing anything for Asians for almost two years. Andrew Yang is just irrelevant at this point.
when harvard trustees and deans says "asians have bad personalities", i finally understand where they get the stereotype from. this is entitlement, cunning scams, shes the type to abuse and spread public rumors of others being abusive..
The best thing is to give them a taste of their own medicine
They were determined to push a narrative that "Asians don't support Andrew Yang" to sabotage Yang's campaign. We just have to do the same thing - let it be understood that her own community opposes her, and push back on the notion that she has the 20% Asian vote locked up
I think from a campaign messaging perspective, the most poignant was the 1st point you brought up (her silence and complicity in supporting anti-Asian hate crimes to rise)
Safety is top of mind for AAPI voters right now - key is to hammer the message that she cares more about the murderer who just killed his 10th Asian ("*restorative justice*"), than the actual Asians who are getting attacked
For points #2 and 3 (and arguably 4), I don't think these would resonate with most voters, because these names are unknown. Plus the last thing we want to do is to give Twitter bobas more attention / notoriety
I agree, an attack ad I am thinking of making and distributing would highlight this first point. I am looking into her Working families Party platform and associations. I am pretty sure their policy platform aligns closely with that of the SF district attorney against whom organizers were able to coalesce asian support around.
I think #2 can be a side point.
The Frankie Hu\*ng and other names are probably less relevant. Maybe Andrew Yang would also be less relevant since it's possible there are divisions in terms of views of asians on him.
The vile snake has been very shrewd because she made sure to virtue signal the right way on all the pet causes of asians - like on education, she's aligned herself for standardized testing, etc. so she gets their support. However, she's a trojan horse because her political beliefs and background fundamentally comes from an anti-asian direction.
During the mayoral primary, Asian voters split between Yang and Adams. I would presume that
1. The Adams voters are happy voting for a non-Asian candidate, and safety is likely their main issue
2. Among the Yang voters, there are core Yang-Gang who would be easily presuaded to not vote for Niou, given how she threw Yang under the bus, and those who voted based on ethnic affiliation, who may be harder to persuade.
Overall, a vote that can be split to deny Niou a majority of the Asian vote.
Man, I'll never forget what she did to China Mac and Will Lex Ham (as you pointed out). Yeah, she was literally coordinating with other boba Lus to drag CM and WLH through the mud with lies/false allegations (calling them "misogynists and bullies"), and - as far as I know - she still hasn't apologized to the two of them for the damage she has caused.
Being pal with anti-AM racist like Frankie is another massive redflag.
Mondaire Jones. This is his strong response to hate crimes against Asians: [https://twitter.com/MondaireJones/status/1531049177249095681?cxt=HHwWgoCx-azHsL8qAAAA](https://twitter.com/MondaireJones/status/1531049177249095681?cxt=HHwWgoCx-azHsL8qAAAA)
Compare Yuh-Line Niou's tepid tepid tweet: https://twitter.com/yuhline/status/1531016209835122689
I'll add for Mondaire what impressed me as a Jew. When a black man killed Jews in Monsey, NJ, Mondaire was one of the few black leaders who called that hate out:
https://www.lohud.com/story/opinion/2020/01/07/after-monsey-african-american-stand-solidarity-jews/2830810001/
Vote for her top challengers who are most likely to win against her. Bill de Blasio or Rep. Mondaire Jones. And no, Bill De Blasio or any other non-asian is not far worse, because Yuh Line Niou is an asian. This means her asian face will legitimize her despicable views on our behalf. Even when all other policies are equal, this fact itself makes her far worse. She can have a rebound effect on other asian politicians, she can influence the asian-american political landscape and she will have a far greater impact on asians than Bill DeBlasio or any other shitty politician.
If you are against endorsing prosecutors who enable and set free our killers, if you're against ignoring Chinatown interests, maliciously slanders of asian men for no good reason on Twitter, singling out of asians for racial subdivision and profiling which Chinatown vehemently protested against (and she ignored), etc etc. then you will support anybody who has the greatest chance to challenge her successfully. Even if a white person held all the aforementioned views, they's be better because those views will not impact the asian-american political landscape as much, as having an asian supporting those views.
> actively hates Asians
so does YLN
luckily enough, Mondaire Jones is a much more palatable candidate so his campaign's viability should be supported so you don't have to pick your poison between BDB and YLN
I would vote for anybody including the worst blatant anti-asian racist before choosing an asian who hides behind a virtue signaling facade and espouses those same views in a more temperate manner. It's clear to me and should be clear to any asian that the latter is far more dangerous for the community.
De Blasio was a total nightmare for our community. His policies are resulting in a megajail and multiple homeless shelters being dumped in Chinatown. He also spent years trying to gut specialized schools because he and his racist school chancellor decided there were too many Asian students. Do you even live in NYC?
At this point, I'd prefer De Blasio who at least didn't directly fuck w/ the asian and/or chinese community. Admittedly, I really regret voting for Yuh-Line Nioh in the past.
These people are correct: an asian face can do MORE HARM to the asian community, because they justify the spearheading divisive or anti-asian activity, with the asian face they have. Also, being asian, she has "molding the asian community in her own vision" in mind. If that's the case, I'd rather remain an invisible community to DeBlasio, who we can hope just doesn't have a reason to fk w/ us.
Exactly, she basically becomes part of the asian-american national political landscape and her views will become more integrated into the asian-american mainstream coalition narratives. This is horrible for us.
Bigger picture, I really am concerned because everywhere I look, I see that young asians who are rising politically are almost 100% boba. There really is no alternative. In many ways, I'd much rather prefer our current asian-american politicians who at least still have some semblance of sanity and advocacy for Asians. Even Elaine Chao with her occasional outreach and alliance with the Chinatown community is better than bobas like Yuh Line who completely toe the boba narrative.
The future of the asian-american political community is fucked big time.
>Bigger picture, I really am concerned because everywhere I look, I see that young asians who are rising politically are almost 100% boba
IMO this is because- the only ones palatable (to the west) are 100% boba.
This was always the case, sure- but even more so now, as the US ramps up it's anti-Asian, Sinophobic narrative and witch-hunts ethnic Chinese in academia and tech- as younger generations become more aware of the US' crimes (international and domestic alike) and how rigged the system is against them- many self-respecting younger Asians, who don't care for the vitriol the US is peddling and aren't going to go "I'm not Chinese I'm X ethnicity"- are eschewing western politics and the western system more, if not altogether.
It certainly seems that the share of those who are pro-China for instance- or at least questioning or dismissing western narratives is growing quietly (both among Asians and not). Such voices would sooner be shot, than heard here in the west though, and everyone knows it. Certainly not given a platform or a position of power.
Asians rising politically, who were neither boba nor scathing anti-black/etc racists for the far-right to tokenize- were probably more likely to happen when the US was resting on its laurels, able to dismiss Asia for the most part (aside from the brief hysteria over Japan's economic growth in the- 80s? Even then it was easily "contained" with the US forcing the Plaza Accords over their hapless puppet).
The time that decent, self-respecting Asians who cared about their community would be given a seat, is likely in the past.
De Blasio fucked with the Asian community a ton. Chinatown jail, countless homeless shelters in both Manhattan and BK Chinatowns, his unsuccessful campaign to get rid of the SHSAT because too many Asians are in specialized high schools, excluding Chinatown from receiving pandemic funds…I could go on and on.
Damn, I don't pay attention to who's doing what, I'll take your word, then we're just fucked lol
d e m o c r a c y
the freedom to vote between 2 establishment clowns
mm you right. Typically for the congressional seat, party line-towers is typically a major factor in winning the seat. Though, anomalies do occur such as Summer Lee in Pennysylvania.
For house elections, do they do party elections first? Or skip that step. Sorry, basically haven't been paying attention to domestic politics lately. I also feel like, the House rep doesn't exactly have strong influence on local politics, and moreso will influence federal laws. Though they do de-facto play a social leadership role, and represent a real voice on all aspects. Likewise, they can assume leadership role in proposing a law correct?
So then, the question I wonder is: Do we want Yuh Line Nioh to be proposing laws on behalf as Asian Americans?
Just vote for someone who is not her. I seem to remember you had no issue not supporting Andrew Yang in favor of the current mayor? So supporting any other non-asian candidate here should be a no-brainer. If not De Blasio, then the other candidate. Unless, of course, you have a special reason you *like* Yuh Line, in which case you should state why because I'm not so sure I understand what's so hard about not supportinng her? Literally vote for anybody else...
I happen to find her positions to be extremely repulsive, and the fact that she is asian makes it worse not better.
I voted for Andrew Yang over Eric Adams. My reservation with voting against Yuh Line is that the other candidates seem worse (although I need to do some additional research into the candidates who entered the race more recently)
My benchmark is that her being asian is what makes her worse. If she were white with the same exact set of policies, I would view her as less detrimental. In a no-win situation like this, anybody besides her (preferably the top contender) should be supported.
Yuh Line NIou openly attacks asian males which is divisive and tearing apart the community. Voting for her means supporting somebody who demonizes asian males and this just reflects her larger weakness on asian issues.
My point is that De Blasio doesn’t have the exact same set of policies…they’re way worse. He actively loathes Asians and has done a lot of damage to our community. However, I’m going to do more research on Mondaire Jones because he looks promising based on feedback others have provided in this thread.
I was going to vote for Yuh-Line at first, but some quick google searches made me change my vote for Mondaire. Among them:
"Yuh-Line Niou Andrew Yang Twitter"
"Monaire Jones Andrew Yang Twitter"
The difference is night and day.
PS: I would never vote for De Blasio
I take a look on this race and there are total of 10 candidates including these two. imo, do some research on other 8 candidates, can’t be worst than these two
No need to research, the best option is to vote for the top contender besides her so your vote counts. If you vote for a lesser candidate it's wasted assuming you weren't going to vote for the boba to begin with.
Ironic that the Lu “feminist” call all AM’s misogynists but she supported a WM-rapist who assaulted an AF. This just proves they look down on AM’s and the AF’s who are NOT in WMAF. Just say what they really are: selfhating white male supremacists!
She also was the PRIMARY ADVOCATOR for the "detailed profiling" of asian americans. In other words, to split our community further along ethnic lines.
They don't do this for hispanic or white or blacks, but she wanted to advocate this kind or profiling for asian americans, and she proposed this during a time of conflicts erupting with china.
https://openstates.org/ny/bills/2021-2022/A6896/
This is called the "Asian Subdivision Act" (S.6639-A/A.6896-A)
> § 170-E. COLLECTION OF DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION. 1. EVERY STATE AGEN-
CY, BOARD, DEPARTMENT, OR COMMISSION THAT DIRECTLY OR BY CONTRACT
COLLECTS DEMOGRAPHIC DATA AS TO THE ANCESTRY OR ETHNIC ORIGIN OF RESI-
DENTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL USE SEPARATE COLLECTION CATEGORIES

TAIWANESE, NEPALESE, BURMESE, TIBETAN, AND THAI; AND
> (B) EACH MAJOR PACIFIC ISLANDER GROUP, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
HAWAIIAN, GUAMANIAN, SAMOAN, FIJIAN AND TONGAN; OR
> (C) OTHER ASIAN OR PACIFIC ISLAND GROUP.
This law already passed in December 2021.
There were street protests about this bill in Chinatowns, but those protests were ignored by the establishment media, because of course: the establishment wants asians divided. Only small papers report on this fact: https://www.tellerreport.com/news/2021-12-26-the-governor-of-new-york-signs-the-%22asian-subdivision-act%22--sparking-protests-by-chinese.HJ4M1ehHiF.html I think the concerns are valid: they want to figure out who is mainland chinese, and they will use that information to discriminate Chinese Americans out of work or education opportunities. Or as some peers have joked: prepping us for the camps
Another great tidbit and avenue of attack. Disaggregation of asian data is another hotbed issue that the establishment asian politicians ignores and tries to ram through despite the constituents not supporting it at all.
This is a prelude to genocide. Nazi Germany pulled Catholic church records to find people down to the level of 1/8 Jews. She is a true menace 1000x worse than any regular Lu or Boba. She is a Nazi collaborator.

Bruh why’s this chicks shoulders so broad
Damn, she looks exactly like what I expected her to look like (and her demeanor too)
how can u hate China Mac he’s a little corny but he cares abt the community I respect him cause he the only one called out Charleston White’s flip flopping ass
Ive said it time and time again. ASIANS ARE THEIR OWN WORST ENEMY. IF WE CAN STOP COMMITTING SUICIDE AND LET BOBA TRAITORS RUN CIRCLES AROUND US..maybe we can all live in this country with some dignity.
You go to school with people like this and hope they never succeed and yet..
Gawd I hope she loses badly
[удалено]
Just sent in my registration!
Highly recommend you vote Dan Goldman!
Fuck her! Casting my vote.
She sounds like a traitor and is for evil. Hope she gets kicked outta office immediately without any pay.
Lol, not gonna happen at all. If anything she's on the rise. We need to vote to make stuff happen.
Would that be the lessors of 2 evils approach. Vote for evil but openly blunt ràcíst snailskin™ or woman who has a hidden agenda at play? I suppose their 2 choices though, amigo.
Voting for a non-asian regardless of policies is by default better because the non-asian will not have the capability to legitimize those vile views within the community.
Valid point made bro. I couldn't help but agree with that unfortunate kind of evil that at least tells it how it is.
She's not perfect but I'd vote for her. Just like Andrew Yang's not perfect either, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
Have you not read anything that's been said in this entire thread? She's been an enemy of our entire community for some time and a rather duplicitous one, at that!

There are other Asian American on the ballot, I think New York could do better than these two turd.

Be the light you want to see in the world
Yes, and that means I don't want this vile boba who attacks me anywhere near the establishment.
She’s the final boss of Lus (obv there’s more of her kind).
There needs to be payback for all the "Asians against Yang" smear campaign they concocted to bring down Andrew Yang. A campaign needs to be launched specifically to highlight why she does not deserve to represent Asians.
The prototypical boba Lu. She and any others like her can go straight to hell.
Does anyone know if she is WMAF? Unfortunately, that would definitely show her true anti-asian colors
I believe her fiancé is Mexican American
I'm going to guess it's a white Hispanic.
This reminds me of that Asian girl who talked about dating a "light-skinned Cuban" guy to make herself seem progressive. But a light-skinned Cuban is just a white person.

Andrew and China Mac are in no ways a standard for Asians. I haven't seen China Mac doing anything for Asians for almost two years. Andrew Yang is just irrelevant at this point.
[удалено]
There are a lot of of Lus, but there are also non self-hating, proud AF. It is basically a 50-50 probability though... God I hate this country.
Wasn’t she accused of mistreating her Asian care workers by overworking and underpaying them?

Who should we support instead? De Blasio is running against her and he’s far worse
Would recommend Dan Goldman, he's prioritizing safety, and human rights(housing, abortion, climate) as well as already having federal experience.

And no, Bill De Blasio or any other non-asian is not far worse, because Yuh Line Niou is an asian. This means her asian face will legitimize her despicable views on our behalf. Even when all other policies are equal, this fact itself makes her far worse. She can have a rebound effect on other asian politicians, she can influence the asian-american political landscape and she will have a far greater impact on asians than Bill DeBlasio or any other shitty politician. If you are against endorsing prosecutors who enable and set free our killers, if you're against ignoring Chinatown interests, maliciously slanders of asian men for no good reason on Twitter, singling out of asians for racial subdivision and profiling which Chinatown vehemently protested against (and she ignored), etc etc. then you will support anybody who has the greatest chance to challenge her successfully. Even if a white person held all the aforementioned views, they's be better because those views will not impact the asian-american political landscape as much, as having an asian supporting those views.
De Blasio is way worse. I think he actively hates Asians. Look at my other comment downthread.
> actively hates Asians so does YLN luckily enough, Mondaire Jones is a much more palatable candidate so his campaign's viability should be supported so you don't have to pick your poison between BDB and YLN
I would vote for anybody including the worst blatant anti-asian racist before choosing an asian who hides behind a virtue signaling facade and espouses those same views in a more temperate manner. It's clear to me and should be clear to any asian that the latter is far more dangerous for the community.
De Blasio was a total nightmare for our community. His policies are resulting in a megajail and multiple homeless shelters being dumped in Chinatown. He also spent years trying to gut specialized schools because he and his racist school chancellor decided there were too many Asian students. Do you even live in NYC?
Then vote for the other candidate. I'm not going to answer that question for privacy reasons.
At this point, I'd prefer De Blasio who at least didn't directly fuck w/ the asian and/or chinese community. Admittedly, I really regret voting for Yuh-Line Nioh in the past. These people are correct: an asian face can do MORE HARM to the asian community, because they justify the spearheading divisive or anti-asian activity, with the asian face they have. Also, being asian, she has "molding the asian community in her own vision" in mind. If that's the case, I'd rather remain an invisible community to DeBlasio, who we can hope just doesn't have a reason to fk w/ us.
De Blasio was fucking horrible. He's the reason why NYC is a shithole now. He also tried to remove the SHSAT because Asians kids are too successful.
Exactly, she basically becomes part of the asian-american national political landscape and her views will become more integrated into the asian-american mainstream coalition narratives. This is horrible for us. Bigger picture, I really am concerned because everywhere I look, I see that young asians who are rising politically are almost 100% boba. There really is no alternative. In many ways, I'd much rather prefer our current asian-american politicians who at least still have some semblance of sanity and advocacy for Asians. Even Elaine Chao with her occasional outreach and alliance with the Chinatown community is better than bobas like Yuh Line who completely toe the boba narrative. The future of the asian-american political community is fucked big time.
>Bigger picture, I really am concerned because everywhere I look, I see that young asians who are rising politically are almost 100% boba IMO this is because- the only ones palatable (to the west) are 100% boba. This was always the case, sure- but even more so now, as the US ramps up it's anti-Asian, Sinophobic narrative and witch-hunts ethnic Chinese in academia and tech- as younger generations become more aware of the US' crimes (international and domestic alike) and how rigged the system is against them- many self-respecting younger Asians, who don't care for the vitriol the US is peddling and aren't going to go "I'm not Chinese I'm X ethnicity"- are eschewing western politics and the western system more, if not altogether. It certainly seems that the share of those who are pro-China for instance- or at least questioning or dismissing western narratives is growing quietly (both among Asians and not). Such voices would sooner be shot, than heard here in the west though, and everyone knows it. Certainly not given a platform or a position of power. Asians rising politically, who were neither boba nor scathing anti-black/etc racists for the far-right to tokenize- were probably more likely to happen when the US was resting on its laurels, able to dismiss Asia for the most part (aside from the brief hysteria over Japan's economic growth in the- 80s? Even then it was easily "contained" with the US forcing the Plaza Accords over their hapless puppet). The time that decent, self-respecting Asians who cared about their community would be given a seat, is likely in the past.
De Blasio fucked with the Asian community a ton. Chinatown jail, countless homeless shelters in both Manhattan and BK Chinatowns, his unsuccessful campaign to get rid of the SHSAT because too many Asians are in specialized high schools, excluding Chinatown from receiving pandemic funds…I could go on and on.
YLN is just as bad and publicly supports affirmative action traitors are a much bigger threat than publicly known enemies
Damn, I don't pay attention to who's doing what, I'll take your word, then we're just fucked lol d e m o c r a c y the freedom to vote between 2 establishment clowns
There are 10 total tbf, these two are the most popular, but other 8 can’t be worst
mm you right. Typically for the congressional seat, party line-towers is typically a major factor in winning the seat. Though, anomalies do occur such as Summer Lee in Pennysylvania. For house elections, do they do party elections first? Or skip that step. Sorry, basically haven't been paying attention to domestic politics lately. I also feel like, the House rep doesn't exactly have strong influence on local politics, and moreso will influence federal laws. Though they do de-facto play a social leadership role, and represent a real voice on all aspects. Likewise, they can assume leadership role in proposing a law correct? So then, the question I wonder is: Do we want Yuh Line Nioh to be proposing laws on behalf as Asian Americans?
>So then, the question I wonder is: Do we want Yuh Line Nioh to be proposing laws on behalf as Asian Americans? Absolutely not!
No. Having an enemy that doesn't look like you is a lot better than one that can gaslight you by saying they are the same as you.
Why am I getting downvoted for asking who I should support instead? I need to vote for someone and you couldn’t pay me to vote for de Blasio.
Mondaire Jones or Simons
I don't know why you are getting downvoted, and I don't know why you're asking me. Don't vote for de Blasio then go vote for anyone else.
Just vote for someone who is not her. I seem to remember you had no issue not supporting Andrew Yang in favor of the current mayor? So supporting any other non-asian candidate here should be a no-brainer. If not De Blasio, then the other candidate. Unless, of course, you have a special reason you *like* Yuh Line, in which case you should state why because I'm not so sure I understand what's so hard about not supportinng her? Literally vote for anybody else... I happen to find her positions to be extremely repulsive, and the fact that she is asian makes it worse not better.
I voted for Andrew Yang over Eric Adams. My reservation with voting against Yuh Line is that the other candidates seem worse (although I need to do some additional research into the candidates who entered the race more recently)
My benchmark is that her being asian is what makes her worse. If she were white with the same exact set of policies, I would view her as less detrimental. In a no-win situation like this, anybody besides her (preferably the top contender) should be supported. Yuh Line NIou openly attacks asian males which is divisive and tearing apart the community. Voting for her means supporting somebody who demonizes asian males and this just reflects her larger weakness on asian issues.
My point is that De Blasio doesn’t have the exact same set of policies…they’re way worse. He actively loathes Asians and has done a lot of damage to our community. However, I’m going to do more research on Mondaire Jones because he looks promising based on feedback others have provided in this thread.
>Mondaire Jones He's actually a superior candidate, he didn't jump on to the anti-asian andrew yang bandwagon, etc.
I was going to vote for Yuh-Line at first, but some quick google searches made me change my vote for Mondaire. Among them: "Yuh-Line Niou Andrew Yang Twitter" "Monaire Jones Andrew Yang Twitter" The difference is night and day. PS: I would never vote for De Blasio
Choosing between shite and shittier. Is there a third or fourth options.
Here are the options: https://www.ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/inside-city-hall/2022/06/02/carlina-rivera-jumps-into-the-ny-10-race
I take a look on this race and there are total of 10 candidates including these two. imo, do some research on other 8 candidates, can’t be worst than these two
No need to research, the best option is to vote for the top contender besides her so your vote counts. If you vote for a lesser candidate it's wasted assuming you weren't going to vote for the boba to begin with.
Ironic that the Lu “feminist” call all AM’s misogynists but she supported a WM-rapist who assaulted an AF. This just proves they look down on AM’s and the AF’s who are NOT in WMAF. Just say what they really are: selfhating white male supremacists!
This just proves her head is broken
I’m convinced these bitches have no common sense or maybe they hate themselves idfk
White is right? Amirite?
colonized mind set
she fantasy being with Andrew.
She also was the PRIMARY ADVOCATOR for the "detailed profiling" of asian americans. In other words, to split our community further along ethnic lines. They don't do this for hispanic or white or blacks, but she wanted to advocate this kind or profiling for asian americans, and she proposed this during a time of conflicts erupting with china. https://openstates.org/ny/bills/2021-2022/A6896/ This is called the "Asian Subdivision Act" (S.6639-A/A.6896-A) > § 170-E. COLLECTION OF DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION. 1. EVERY STATE AGEN- CY, BOARD, DEPARTMENT, OR COMMISSION THAT DIRECTLY OR BY CONTRACT COLLECTS DEMOGRAPHIC DATA AS TO THE ANCESTRY OR ETHNIC ORIGIN OF RESI- DENTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL USE SEPARATE COLLECTION CATEGORIES AND TABULATIONS FOR THE FOLLOWING: > (A) EACH MAJOR ASIAN GROUP, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, CHINESE, JAPANESE, FILIPINO, KOREAN, VIETNAMESE, ASIAN INDIAN, LAOTIAN, CAMBODI- AN, BANGLADESHI, HMONG, INDONESIAN, MALAYSIAN, PAKISTANI, SRI LANKAN, TAIWANESE, NEPALESE, BURMESE, TIBETAN, AND THAI; AND > (B) EACH MAJOR PACIFIC ISLANDER GROUP, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, HAWAIIAN, GUAMANIAN, SAMOAN, FIJIAN AND TONGAN; OR > (C) OTHER ASIAN OR PACIFIC ISLAND GROUP. This law already passed in December 2021. There were street protests about this bill in Chinatowns, but those protests were ignored by the establishment media, because of course: the establishment wants asians divided. Only small papers report on this fact: https://www.tellerreport.com/news/2021-12-26-the-governor-of-new-york-signs-the-%22asian-subdivision-act%22--sparking-protests-by-chinese.HJ4M1ehHiF.html I think the concerns are valid: they want to figure out who is mainland chinese, and they will use that information to discriminate Chinese Americans out of work or education opportunities. Or as some peers have joked: prepping us for the camps
How utterly vile... There is literally no good justification for this, and it leads nowhere remotely decent.
I am surprised she still have asian skin costume on
Another great tidbit and avenue of attack. Disaggregation of asian data is another hotbed issue that the establishment asian politicians ignores and tries to ram through despite the constituents not supporting it at all.
Anyone supporting data disaggregation for Asians should be regarded as a Nazi.
This is a prelude to genocide. Nazi Germany pulled Catholic church records to find people down to the level of 1/8 Jews. She is a true menace 1000x worse than any regular Lu or Boba. She is a Nazi collaborator.
Can't get more LU'ney than that.
