When "neighborhood preservation" is an acceptable tactic, and not just some part of a bigoted racist rant like "take back our neighborhood" or "make Bay Ridge 'White' again," then you know that things have already passed their tipping point vis a vis the racial, ethnic, social and political makeup of the area
That fact has been brought home by the current GOP-Conservative Party candidate for NY City Council for the 43rd Council District, everything about whom seems to be a contrived amalgam of racial, ethnic, cultural, social, geographic, and economic backgrounds
If you look at all of Brian Fox's personal characteristics, including the way he dresses, he looks like he was made up by a committee of Bay Ridge bar-types from used items gathered at a Salvation Army Thrift Shop.
And that's what the Brooklyn Republican and Conservative Parties think is their best shot a getting out a vote in Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, Bath Beach and Bensonhurst-Homecrest
The messaging that those behind Fox are pitching is no better than the candidate --- nothing but gloom and doom in the middle of a gloomy-doomy pandemic --- Just picture Brian Fox showing up at your front door to tell you that >>> "Things have never been this bad before; but I'm here to tell you to 'Improve don't move...' and you should start by getting a nice fleece vest just like mine" <<<
I'm sure that the people who saw Brian Fox at the feast on 18th Avenue were equally impressed by the look of the GOP-Conservative candidate for City Council, as they were with everything that he had to tell them about what was wrong with their neighborhood, and how he would be there to improve it for them.
When I was listening to Biden's speech about the failed occupation all of a sudden Jimmy Carter seemed like the good old days.
ReplyDeleteThere aren't many good choices for the remaining Republicans in Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights. At the top of the list is moving out like most of their smarter Republican friends have done already.
ReplyDelete2;27 is like most out of towners on this blog. Fox is the future so quit griping.
ReplyDelete331, nobody is griping about anything.
ReplyDeleteIf you really think that Fox is the future, then you're fine with everything the way it is, and the way it will certainly become.
At least you can hope that in 2022 your City Councilmember is also the Council Speaker, that should be a plus for the neighborhoods in the 43rd Council District.
5:16 is right
ReplyDeletejustin is on to bigger things
Hate to admit it but 5:16 is right. Boss Brannan becomes speaker it only means good things for our district. Fox wins, he will have an office in the basement and his desk in the hall way. There are only 2 Republicans in the Councel
ReplyDeletepoor turnout and rain in cenral park. must be foxs fault.
ReplyDeleteBrian Fox is a self-identified incel
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know the 3 or 4 restaurants Brian has owned ?
ReplyDeleteBrian Fox's website shows how clearly inept he is. The attention to detail - like this blog post that just stops mid-sentence - is absolutely embarrassing. http://brianfox4nyc.com/new-york-city-council-election-2021-district-43/new-york-city-deserves-better/
ReplyDeleteBrian will big a voice for you? Send Brian to City Hal? This is is CAMPAIGN WEBSITE, not a hastily written Facebook comment.
711, a slight correstion: "Does anyone know the 3 or 4 restaurants Brian [SAYS THAT HE] has owned?"
ReplyDeleteAndy is in the news asking for afghans to be sent to brooklyn.
ReplyDeleteFox is in the news asking the city council to fund the police.
Who is City Hal ????
ReplyDeletedoes getting takeout qualify as owning?
ReplyDeletedoes drinking heineken count?
ReplyDeleteI hear the Campaign Finance Board is taking a close look under the hood at Camp Fox
ReplyDelete10:04 is correct. Gournardes wants to bring afghanistan refugees to brooklyn.
ReplyDeleteIm voting for fox.
Is Brian Fox from Afghanistan?
ReplyDeleteI really don't know where Brian Fox is from, but with at least one person who left the area and posted an endorsement from Florida, Brian Fox is tops. With people who still live in Brooklyn I don't see much support.
ReplyDeleteWhat about during covid when Brian was telling his friends he was "done with Bayridge and moving to the Poconos"
ReplyDeleteWhen will he address that one ?
Planes from Quatar will be landing at Kennedy. from there a shuttle to Ovington ave.
ReplyDeleteFox is going to be the star for GOP like AOC.
ReplyDeleteBut the GOP doesn't need any stars that are anything like AOC. It needs stars willing to say they are in the proess of dismissing AOC with extreme prejudice.
ReplyDeleteBrian Pox’s All You Can Eat Greek and Italian Buffet! Coming to the Poconos December 2021!
