Part 8/11:
The Broader Political Climate: From NYC to National Politics
There’s a broader discussion about the parallels between the NYC race and national elections, particularly referencing former President Trump’s bid for re-election. The skepticism about electoral integrity, the influence of digital hacking, voting machine integrity, and vote manipulation are points of concern, echoing fears shared across the political spectrum.
Some participants express doubt that systemic manipulation isn’t happening, citing the complexity of the electoral system and recent electronic voting controversies. The sense is that “they”—established interests and political machines—may do whatever it takes to maintain power and prevent disruptive outsiders from winning.
