In addition, the vaccine mandate in NYC spiked (in a good way) the percentage vaccinated across all city employees:

More than 4x as many police officers have died from Covid versus gunfire since the start of the pandemic (over 400)

That's just who have left as of now. There are some applying for exemptions. Not tens of thousands though I'm sure. A few thousand maybe.

9000 city workers are on unpaid leave and 12000 have applied for exemptions overall. 85% of NYPD have had at least 1 shot. 1 in 6 are unvaccinated and all except for those 34 who left want exemptions

HTH

You didn't proveanything, you confirmed my article that said only 34 had left and then posted two opinion pieces by the usual windbags, yet nothing to dispute that figure. try again

Isn't the issue with the New York mandate compared to the Federal Mandate is that there isn't an option for opting for a rigorous testing routine instead of vacination? So not really a federal thing.

Its an aside but it would be interesting which is better for the public interacting with these employees (vacination is obviously better for employees themselves) as vaccinated do spread Delta albeit at lower rates however is someone who is instead getting regular testing more or less likely to cause spread than a vaccinated non testing person.

So today there are elections in Virginia and New Jersey for governor(and more in Virginia) and while not directly tied to president Biden they will be an indication of how his approval ratings which have fallen will actually hurt the two democrats in former governor terry mcauliffe in Virginia and New Jersey governor Phil Murphy. And with the midterm elections nearly exactly a year from now, this will You’d assume that if the GOP win one or both of the states, they it may finally focus the democrats minds of trying to not look so dysfunctional on a national level which is how it looks to me. They make heavy going out of stuff that should be easy.

Why not ask the person who brought it up in the first place?

The more amusing thing regarding Virginia is republicans begging Trump to stay away from Youngkin because they realise in purple/blue states his presence is absolute poison. Trump though because he knows no better was suggesting you could not trust voting in Virginia which I am sure Youngkin was delighted about.

I think those who do that are lost causes tbh. Youngkin has ran as good campaign as anyone could have in a blue state tbh.

Corey Stewart ran as full blown MAGA disciple in 2018 against Tim Kaine in the same state and lost by 15 points.

I totally understand the Dems trying to tie Youngkin to Trump because Trump is a godsend for turnout for Dem turnout , but Youngkin hasn't taken the bait.

Speaking of polls, they have badly underestimated the GOP vote in NJ. Seeing as Biden is already trailing badly in national polls, it could be a very bad night for the Democrats in 12 months' time and a really Everest task for Biden in 2024, that's of course if he will run, but I doubt that myself.

Well if the democrats don’t get their heads out of the clouds and admit their messaging is piss poor(to quote Brian Williams) then Kevin McCarthy might as well start measuring up the speakers office on Capitol Hill now because moderate democrats in swing districts aren’t going to win next November if this is a sign of things to come. Just because they may have the policies that are popular with Americans, doesn’t mean they are just going to magically appear as law, they need to sell it. The gop have been easily able to box the dems into corners over slogan the dems use which have become twisted.

CRT is the just the new boogie man for the poor scared Republicans. They need to constantly be afraid of something and it'll be something different in a year's time. Do you really think most voters know what it actually is? Keep dreaming.
