Voters need to vote in candidates that aren’t part of pacts. If I lived in this district, she would have my vote!

I am not in her district but if I was I would like to know more about her positions on the issues I care about before I would make a decision.

She's quite articulate in this video

Schlossberg said in a recent interview he supports Jeffries as majority leader. Absolutely the fuck NO.

Sorry Tara I’m not gonna listen to this show. I support George Conway 1000% and I could not be more of a democrat and a feminist. I hope you interview him.

I respect George Conway a lot, but some of his values and ideas are not the ones I agree with, we all agree that DJT is a traitor and hated by most, I know George has been through hell because of this Pediphile destroying our country, you can disagree and still respect others, we can't keep arguing and tearing up each other because of ppl that choose a different candidate, don't leave, we all can still try to understand each other and not write people off... 🙏

I do like Jack Schlossberg, but I I know that is partially because I'm an 80 year old NYer who still remembers when I was in the student cafeteria of my college in Buffalo NY waiting to have to go take a test that I was going to fail, before Thanksgiving holidays, when a guy ran in and said "the President was shot!" The lady at the counter asked, "Who! (Dr. so and so? the college President?" and then the announcement kept him from answering as the voice said, "President Kennedy has been shot and he did not survive." Remembering right now, that exact moment brings tears to my eyes. So, I wish Jack all the best and hope that in 4 years he does choose to run for something. I wish Caroline much happiness and well deserved peace.

No clue what she mean;s by "real-world experience" but after reading her bio and Schlossberg's bio I see his real-world experience as superior to her real-world experience

The Dems need a shakeup from the top down if they want to stay competitive, the current leadership ain't cuttin' it.

Tara, I remember when AOC, and the other ladies came to Congress, they were told not to keep talking badly about Nancy Pelosi, telling them they had to wait their turn, they were new. Well, at first I was like WOW, these chicks came in swinging and told to stand down, Nancy can teach them a lot, they got to know Nancy, she explained how the Dems worked, that's when I was proud of the old Dems, I'm old myself, and the Young Blood had learned a lot, they also taught Nancy and all of us a lot, I knew the lobbiest were always paying both parties but I hadn't heard so much about AIPAC, they've grown over the years, they've grown dangerous and unamerican, greed, greed, GREEDY f'ks helping these traitors push their Plan to destroy our democracy, it's for the rich and Zionist, most of us are not in that party, we're not allowed, their knees are on our necks so we can never climb up the ladder, AIPAC is against the middle class, it's basically gone, Laura Dunn is exactly what every state needs today. I have learned so much about politics and the dirty politicians that I thought were for me, Democrats were for me, then over the years thanks to the Young Blood, the new Democrats, the Chics & the new Guys have explained how our own are taking money for their campaigns and Young Blood doesn't, No One Owns Them, they work for We the People. The old politicians ways are over, we can never change anything while Donors are paying both parties for FAVORS, we are decades behind, there's a few Dem Sen and Congress people that are with the Young Blood, I love that they are seeing, like myself that times have changed, the same old way is why we're here today, the Pediphile in Chief, his billionaire in his admin, the Cabinet is more like the Liquor Cabinet, ICE murdering, torturing, raping, kidnapping Americans and immigrants is no different then Epstein - Trump files and their buddies, some are in our White house probably still child trafficking with Kushner, Witcoff, Putin, Saudi, etc, Putin most likely sold the stolen children from Ukraine, they're all pediphiles and Pediphile protectors, and Traitors to us.

Laura Dunn fits right in with the Young Blood, we need more Laura Dunns to help us, help We the People take our country back and out of the hands of corrupt lobbiest, corrupt politicians, corrupt countries that have been controlling our country and taking everything we hold dear, it's now or never, we can't stop now because later especially without Dems like AOC, Laura Dunn, our country will not the country we know, times is of the essence, I appreciate Laura Dunn for ideas and her moral and ethical values 🙏...

I know I can go on and on, I'm so disgusted with the cowardly Republicans for lying & giving our rights away to their corrupt Pediphile and criminal, they're criminals to, I can't leave this world without seeing my country fight back against these deplorable pigs, thiefs, perverts, liars, cowards, did I say pediphile protectors and many pediphiles themselves? They are!!!

Laura Dunn will win, she doesn't take dark money or money from lobbiest & AIPAC!

Dems that take money from AIPAC & lobbiest are liars & not honest politicians.

One of the problems with people like George Conway, Rick Wilson, the Bulwark, etc., is that they've worked very hard to steer the Democratic party into just being anti-MAGA. But the Democratic party has to be more than that. It has to stand for more than that to win back the places that went for Obama, and then broke for Trump.

And yes, Kennedy is coasting along as an empty suit with a prominent name. He's eagerly awaiting his chance to replace Eric Swalwell as MSNBC's new straight, white-male darling.

But what I find exciting about this current election cycle, is how many positive disruptors are emerging out of nowhere, because they’re genuinely interested in the business of governing.

Whether that’s Mamdani in NYC, James Talarico in Texas, or even Todd Achilles, who is creeping up on a Republican Senator in Idaho, a state that should be beyond safe for MAGA.

There’s something special happening, and I wish Laura Dunn the best of luck. Even if she doesn’t win, she and others are serving as important disruptors at a time when voters are desperate for real political reform, and I’d even encourage her to keep her options open for running for something in NYC again.

Is she a DINO, or is she all for kill the rich and free groceries?

A seemingly "provocative" question popped into my mind. If I were one of the wealthy to billionaire's living in the 12th district, would Laura Dunn be representing my issues? I doubt it. Upper Westside...sure. Probably any other district in Manhattan or any NYC borough (except parts of Staten Island) it wouldn't be an problem. I'm going to be interested in learning what share of the votes she gets. I don't think she will win. Before you raise the question to me, would I say the same if she were running in a racist district on Staten Island? I will tell you that I think that she would be a valiant moral crusader however badly she would inevitably lose. Yes, diametrically different response. As I said, this just popped into my mind. I'm interested in hearing what others think. :))

What about Alex Bores? Peter Theil and co are so afraid of his efforts to erect guardrails for AI that they’ e established a PAC with $125M in funding to defeat him and set an example for anyone who opposes their desire to do anything they want. Screw The Kennedy and Conway… this is who people should vote for in MY district!

John Thanes-Barrow's avatar

Je souhaite bonne chance à cette candidate et je le pense vraiment sincèrement, je la crois intelligente et bien intentionnée. Par ailleurs, un grand merci à Tara Palmeri pour avoir prononcé Manhattan à la manière de Man-haa-in, et pour avoir réalisé que de nombreux mots comportent des "t"s tout à fait superflus. Un délice toujours!

I love what you are doing with these interviews! I feel giddy when I hear about candidates who are against corporate greed. More please! Although these candidates aren't in my district, it's helpful to know more about these races beyond brand names. So awesome!

Thanks Tara . Very informative. Laura Dunn could be a force. The fact she is not bought by corporate donors is an benefit .
