Andrew Cuomo was the most carbrain candidate.
He doesn't walk.
He doesn't take the subway.
He doesn't bike.
He only travels in his Ford dodger
He has been caught speeding again and again in his Ford dodger:
Cuomo was supported by Wall Street and Car Companies:
You defeated him. And the guy who won the democratic primary doesn't even own a car.

Him being 33 years old hits me kind of hard (in a good way) because I'm just a year younger than him.
When I see his age, one of my first thoughts is, "That could be me." Seeing candidates my age actually succeeding instead of geriatric ones actually makes me feel represented and that I could do something similar, too. Obviously not Mayor of the largest city in the US, but I could run for a city council position in the town I live in. And this makes it feel like I could actually succeed.
That's huge to feel in this day.

Is there an international version of it ? Like For EU, SEA Latin Amerixa etc....
I'd love if there was, but each of those regions has a plethora of very different electoral systems.
Give it a shot! Your city needs people like you.
That could be you!
I feel exactly the same as a 32 year old! It really is inspiring
