Daredevil Born Again: Cuomo is Kingpin (& we can defeat him)

Posted on by

Daredevil returns to tangle with Mayor Fisk, a villain with shocking parallels to Andrew Cuomo: the real life disgraced former Governor of NY who is now running to be Mayor of NYC! Our real election ends June 24 and New Yorkers need a better outcome than the election in the Disney+ TV Series. 

I’m joined by Janos Martin, a former candidate for Manhattan District Attorney and an expert on criminal justice reform. We discuss how the show depicts the criminal justice system, the political culture of NYC and what lessons we can learn from Kingpin’s appeal to voters that can help us dissuade voters from supporting Cuomo. 

I even explain Ranked Choice Voting. Rank ANYONE but Cuomo!
