Andrew Cuomo’s final stretch: Letters – Latest News
The Issue: Michael Goodwin’s column explaining his vote for Andrew Cuomo within the mayoral race.
Having to decide on between voting for an smug ex-governor who already did main harm to our metropolis or a light-weight wearing sheep’s clothes isn’t an straightforward one (“Why Cuo is my choice,” Michael Goodwin, Oct. 29).
It’s cliché, however the reply is to choose the lesser of two evils. What’s worse than Cuomo successful is the town dropping by being run by Zohran Mamdani.

Michael Goodwin’s column is nearly as good because it will get. I assist his reasoning for why he plans to vote for Andrew Cuomo for mayor.
But typically, information don’t actually inform the entire story, and I nonetheless imagine that Curtis Sliwa is by far probably the most trustworthy candidate from the accessible crew of hungry-to-be-mayor wannabes.
As Goodwin wrote, selecting Zohran Mamdani for mayor is more than a mistake; it’s a tragedy. It’s additionally a tragedy that Sliwa obtained the shaft earlier than the election. I assume you’ll be able to’t win ’em all for sure.

Intifada-infatuated neo-Marxist Zohran Mamdani is poised to develop into Gotham’s subsequent mayor, until Andrew Cuomo can stage a Trumanesque comeback on Nov. 4.
Goodwin avers that Comrade Mamdani “was raised by his parents to hate America, our history and our institutions.” Andrew Cuomo however embraces and champions figures of our historical past, from Christopher Columbus to Abraham Lincoln to Fiorello La Guardia.
The former governor might not be everyone’s cup of cappuccino, however (as Goodwin argues) Sheriff Andy is the one candidate with the views and expertise needed to information the town’s large forms.
Though he lacks his father’s Ciceronian oratory, Andrew is nicely versed within the artwork and apply of governance. And as a pugnaciously efficient politico, he’s imbued with more than a little of Niccolo Machiavelli’s advantage.

I notice that The Post favors Cuomo, and I perceive why. However, I don’t agree.
My vote stands with Curtis Sliwa. Why? Because, personally, I are not looking for a politician as the subsequent mayor; I need a common New Yorker.

The Issue: Elizabeth Eddy’s requires the National Women’s Soccer League to implement ”intercourse testing.”
As an Angel City Football Club season-ticket holder, I used to be unpleasantly stunned to see Elizabeth Eddy call for testing to establish and expel allegedly transgender or intersex girls from the National Women’s Soccer League (“Own Goal,” PostScript, Oct. 26).
Rather than embrace range, or give attention to bettering her own bench-riding recreation, Eddy seeks to draft the league into the nasty political marketing campaign to exclude trans people from public life.
Eligibility guidelines born from ethical panic somewhat than science ignore the range of girls’s our bodies. A “sex testing” mandate would require collective bargaining.
The Players’ Association ought to vehemently resist: Such mandates are a dangerous “solution” in search of a non-existent drawback.

How will we protect girls’s rights and aggressive equity whereas fostering inclusion?
Just like we might in any competitors that has guidelines as to who can enter. For occasion, your 10-year-old could “identify” as a toddler, however a 10-year-old can’t enter a competitors for toddlers.
Thus, a male can’t enter a competitors for females, nonetheless a lot he might imagine he identifies as a feminine. Inclusion means you could be included when you qualify by the foundations.
