Mayor Zohran Mamdani: “When I voted early I only got called a ‘communist’ once. I got in and out. All New Yorkers can have that experience.”

Vote early so you don't get harassed by your neighbors is so funny.

It really describes how badly we need people to develop empathy in this country.

You're not wrong at all.

I vote early so I can make sure I actually do it.

My schedule can sometimes become unpredictable and chaotic.

Literally just to avoid lines.

Usually I vote by mail, but Donald has made it abundantly clear that he's going to leverage his influence over the USPS to legally fuck with this election, so this time, I'm voting early so I can place the ballot in the machine myself.

I vote early because I get absentee ballots sent to my residence, I fill them out at my convenience, and it’s painless to drop them off at city hall when running errands. They don’t even care when I drop it off, they take them earlier than the boxes go out, so I don’t have to try to keep track of when I can vote. Also no lines, no chance of intimidation, just smooth sailing :)

I love he only got called a communist once and that was a flex, I wish our dsa candidate had won.

I mean, given how they keep reducing the number of polling places in a lot of districts, if you aren't planning on spending 12 business days in line your probably better off to vote early.
