Yang's New Cable TV ad is called "HOPE" Anti-Yang Forces Go Crazy

Andrew Yang has posted his first Cable TV ad. $91,000 worth which will appear today and tomorrow. Let the gnashing of teeth and the propaganda begin.....
The New Ad--Appearing Today and Tomorrow on Cable TV

"Hope" is the name of the ad. Yang is going for the strategy that worked for Barack Obama. We all got to put our own hopes and dreams on to Obama because he presented a blank slate. Or as Yang's frantic opposition is calling him, an "empty vessel."

This tweet explains the Oppositions concern. Andrew Yang has locked up a large voting Block which impinges on Eric Adams hoped for strongholds in Brooklyn and Queens.
Another questionable poll has shown up. This one is tiny and wants you to believe that Adams has pulled ahead. Maybe. (The 500 calls in Brooklyn and Queens will Not have recognizably Jewish surnames. That's how push polling works, for example.)
It follows last weeks poll by a Charter Schools PAC that claimed Adams was gaining. These are clearly "push polls" designed to sell an uncertain story. It is a tactic used when you are running out of road.
Early Voting begins on June 12. Will this be a Bernie redux campaign push to align all Yang's competitors against him? Maybe. But Eric Adams is not Joe Biden. And Andrew Yang is not Bernie.
More later on today. I am off to the dentist.

"The 500 calls in Brooklyn and Queens...
...will Not have recognizably Jewish surnames."
Why not? What's the significance of this?
I could see some older New York Jews being duped into whatever horrible libels Ao Oni has against Yang, but I'd be rather disappointed in New York Jews my age not being hot-to-trot for him.

Good question
Liberal Moonbat
Here is the answer. Andrew Yang has gotten the endorsements of the Major Ultra Orthodox rabbis in Brooklyn and Queens.
He has also gotten the endorsement of giant Jewish Organizations and many Modern Orthodox politicians. Also in Brooklyn and Queens.
He has wrapped up this constituency which is located largely in Brooklyn and Queens. They always come out to vote and they vote as one.
Jews your age and mine PLUS 95% of the Jews in the USA are Progressive and Liberal.
So, if you want to get a Pro Adams poll you go to Brooklyn and Queens to look for votes NOT with Jewish surnames.

I just saw this
That explains a lot - and is impressive!

If You Think Yang is all hat, no cattle, Read this Tweet

This is a sane plan . Promoted by a NYC socialist guy. Yang calls out his Alma Mater, Columbia, and compares it Unfavorably with Harvard. Harvard pays Boston its fair share of taxes. Columbia University does not.!!!
If you have the patience to watch the video you will not be disappointed. Yang and Carlos Menchaca take reporter's questions at the end.
Menchaca is the first Mexican NYC Council Member and as Progressive as you can be.
Quite a contrast to Eric Adam law and order Police Captain spiel.

Thanks for saying "Mexican"
instead of that patronizing "LatinX"
I've seen lots of changes. What doesn't change is people. Same old hairless apes.
@The Voice In the Wilderness lastweek I asked this
lastweek I asked this guy how to pronounce "Latinx". He said, "pendejo"
I LOL'd like a goddamn pirate at this
Where I presently live, the Hispanic majority are politically indistinguishable from the Anglo-Saxon runners-up; rednecks are rednecks, no matter their color (I've mentioned the local police before - it's not about "racism", they just pick on whoever's vulnerable). The hipster-NewTruth depiction of "brown people" is completely unrecognizable to me.
This is but one reason the term "People of Color" has come to infuriate me; in addition to everything else wrong (too many things to get into here), the very notion that you can not just count on "black people" and "brown people" to vote in lockstep, but think they can be gooshed together in almost every other way, AND that everybody with a melanin saturation above a certain undisclosed threshold can just be readily conscripted into some Afro-Narcissist race-war...who THE FUCK cooked this up???
"Latinx" sounds like...I don't know, either a perfume, a computer virus/anti-virus, or a Pokemon.
