It’s up to you, New York! The mayoral race is around the corner and somehow the libertarian entrepreneur who poses as progressive, Andrew Yang, is one of the front runners. NYC-based activist Rafael Shimunov joins Francesca Fiorentini and comedian Matt Lieb for an in-depth look at New York politics in the year 2021: from Andrew Cuomo’s origin story of an a-hole and why he should definitely resign, to the failures of Mayor Bill DeBlasio, to the ranked-choice mayoral primary coming up in June. We’re talking about the big apple, the city that never sleeps, the concrete streets that corporate democratic consultant dreams are made of.  Featuring:  Rafael Shimunov, @rafshimunov (Athena, Jews for Racial and Economic Justice) Matt Lieb, @mattlieb (Pod Yourself a Gun, Good Mythical Morning) Francesca Fiorentini @franifio Join the Franita and become a Patron today: www.patreon.com/bitchuationroomFollow The Bitchuation Room on Twitter @BitchuationPodThanks to producer Rebecca Rufer, and post production team Kelly Carey & Dorsey Shaw. Music Credits: The Cannery by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4485-the-canneryLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Support The Bitchuation Room on: Venmo: @TBR-LIVE Cash-App: @TBRLIVE  Check Out The Bitchuation Room Podcast iTunes: http://bit.ly/iTunesbitchuationGoogle Music: http://bit.ly/GoogleBitchuationStitcher: http://bit.ly/stitcherbitchuationSpotify: http://bit.ly/spotifybitchuation  Find Francesca On: Twitter: https://twitter.com/franifio YouTube: The Bitchuation Room’s channel: https://www.youtube.com/franifio Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/franifioFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/FranifioInsta: https://www.instagram.com/franifio/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
