Sadly the bar is now so low, you maybe can't find it. Luckily I think Adams, Yang and others have a more certain track.

Plus Curtis won't attract cross-over votes from Independents and Democrats.

Nothing would surprise me anymore. However as a NYCer I trust we have more sense.

trying to set a Rona mask on fire ?
