Mayor Eric Adams is in the infancy of his term as New York City’s second Black mayor. Even so, his controversial stances on how to handle crime in the city and his recent thoughts about the general election have garnered bad gazes.
about the general election have kicked up a haze of critics calling him a “Republican” as his first year as mayor comes to a close.reached out to electeds and various organizations to get their thoughts on this narrative and where it stems from.that Adams “knew crime panic would hurt Dem chances” but kept “fear-mongering right wing talking points” throughout his campaign and the following election cycle. Then on Nov.
Adams posted an op-ed in USA Today on Nov. 13 about Democrats losing working class voters in the 2022 general election. Some traditionally blue Democratic Party seats in Brooklyn went ‘red’ this year. To be clear, Adams earned a degree from the John Jay College of Criminal Justice among others. He was a transit NYPD officer, a captain, and co-founded 100 Blacks in Law Enforcement. He has made no effort to hide his law enforcement background and fierce support from cops and police unions. He has consistently spoken about battling crime in the city since he started campaigning for mayor last year and he never fails to mention the influence his cop experience has on his decision-making.
“If the city’s electoral system were structured to allow more competitive parties in general elections, the progressive faction could instead form its own party, as socialists did a century ago with the American Labor Party,” said Ketcham. “Until then, the soul-searching will continue.” “Instead of investing in living wage jobs and stable housing and other viable solutions, politicians often create an illusion and distraction by forcing us to believe that more police is the answer to our safety. We demand more from them,” said Smith. “Stop hiding behind the police and using them and crime as scapegoats and cover for the lack of political will to invest in our communities.”
