Brad Lander’s Campaign of Solidarity

star 0 Politics Culture

JL;DR SUMMARY The discussion centers around New York City Comptroller Brad Lander's experiences in the mayoral race, his alliance with Zohran Mamdani, and the political implications of their cooperation to address city issues. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski.

  • At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself.
  • This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude.
  • Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from.
  • But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
  • And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
