In reply to Yosef. Thanks for your compliment! Also I accept your mussar. As an aside -and I understand that this isn’t what you meant- I heard that the rebbe encouraged to vote, outside of the times of sedarim. Can’t vouch that it’s true, just repeating a shmu’a

I actually appreciate your comment @770bochur. And yes I’m still going for Lee zeldin. But regardless it’s good to calm down some fanatical feelings regarding a בשר ודם.

But if you’re takke a 770 bochur you need to koch less in politics…

So you believe that the only way to get the vote out is by hiding/obscuring facts? That we should manipulate people through lying to them?
Maybe we can face the truth and give credit where it’s due, and simultaneously understand that it is a must to vote. Voting is not an option, it’s a must. But we have to tell this to people like adults, explaining that even if the other candidate isn’t a yemach shemoinik we still must vote.

Feelings aside, do we have your vote?

Your entire message here is discouraging voting for Lee
Your disclaimer at the end doesn’t help
If you are writing up a long comment, make sure your priorities are straight

Firstly, I want to Thank you for pushing to get the vote out, which is in our best interests, and is incredibly important to our community.
That being said, I have two comments to make on your article:

1. Kathey hochul helped our communities with a lot of funding, and regarding the egregious infringement of the board of regents on our chinuch, she deserves credit for not attacking us as so many others had, especially considering the tremendous pressure she had from the nyt as well as from others in government who put a lot of pressure on her.

we would obviously like it if she condemned the attack on our communities, but we can not take lightly the fact that she didn’t join the haters in smearing us. It is therefore not wise or correct -in my opinion- to condemn her so strongly.

2. In all of his visits with Jewish communities (in ch , bp, Williamsburg, and more) I haven’t heard lee zeldin say that he will take action to reverse/stop the board of regents decision. He says that it’s wrong and that he’s against it, but will he do something about it? Or is he just sympathizing with us with empty words?

That being said, I will be going to early voting and vote for lee zeldin and encourage everyone else to do the same
