It is crazy how much stuff Hochul gets away with. And she gets all this credit as a super progressive, pro consumer governor... She is somehow scandal free. Republicans in NY really messed up by nominating a DeSantis style politician in NY. They passed up a massive opportunity for a republican governor since so many dems didn't like Hochul.

Would a Republican pass any right to repair bill? A watered down bill is better than nothing. So it's weird that you would suggest a Republican would be better for this issue.

  I think having valid competition might make Hochul a more competent governor and accountability/eyes on her. The idea of an "easy" election never sits well with me unless it is a great incumbent.

    If it's an easy election it's the republicans fault. Anti-abortion, attacking gays, lying about election fraud, etc. All she has to do is be a candidate from the opposing party.

      I know it is the Republicans fault. That is what I said.

        I'm sorry, it's just shocking that you are nitpicking changes to bills that the democrats put through when the alternative is 100x worse.

        i think you are intentionally misreading or limiting alternative paths. i am not nitpicking changes to bills because there are issues with entire bills proposed for example. And the alternative isn't republicans. stagnating dem party in NY is the alternative to a flourishing one. It is odd to me that Hochul is under much less scrutiny than Cuomo (even before the nursing scandal). And we all can agree that Cuomo needed it. The possibility of Republicans doesn't mean Hochul shouldn't get that scrutiny as well.
