Yang Sober Courageous Rascal
Wait, Could Andrew Yang Really Be New York’s Next Mayor?

Yang could be a godsent stand-up red cross rescuer from the reptile-brainers forever creepily fork-tonguers slithering, coiling, suffocating and/or venomously striking the island's and boro's inequity marooned exiles cowed by compartmented zip codes wherein what's stolen and hoarded and hidden determines who gets the cream, who gets the crumbs.
Exceptions to the rule of mayoral venality, La Guardia, Lindsay, a few other not remembered, are outnumbered by the Tweeds, the Kochs, the many others who sold their souls to property magnates, developers, banks, designers, investors, crooked unions, bent cartels of bribery-avid officials in and out of government, one of whom cheated his way in the US Presidency aided by his Twin Thug Assassin Putin.
Whites and blacks who acted white to get in on the booty need to be replaced by someone with the guts to differ from mainstream, from winners and losers, from political Machiavellians, from turncoat US Attorneys, from obedient servants of the well-to-do and clan inheritors of classic state-authority abuse of municipal begging underlings, daresay Rockefeller, Spitzer, Pataki, Cuomo.
Maybe Yang is not a Norman Mailer or Jimmy Breslin tough rascal willing to go after the "city fathers" guzzling martinis at elite clubs, UES penthouses, LI pandemic-escape estates, but let us hope sober-minded courage supplants donation-besotted brown-bagged cooperation with villains.
