As we told you back in June, India Walton — a “socialist, anti-police brutality” organizer — won the Dem primary for Buffalo mayor and was a near lock at winning the race in November:

That is, if Buffalo even has a mayor’s office by then:
The Buffalo Common Council is studying a change in the city’s form of government which would abolish the office of mayor. https://t.co/P7xUZRSq9h

LOL. Imagine if a Republican city tried this?
rather than have a socialist govern, the Buffalo Common Council is attempting to simply eliminate the role of mayor. they also seem to be pretending like it's about current Mayor Brown and not upcoming Mayor Waltonhttps://t.co/g8aNFt3Cva

We believe the phrase you’re looking for is, “STOP THE STEAL”:
Republicans have mostly tried to strip Democratic governors of administrative duties, legislative abilities, and budget decision making powers; what's happening in Buffalo would be worse. It would create an entire new system of governance https://t.co/EVTyXyshby

Anyway, the socialists are pretty pissed that they could have their big victory snatched from them:
The City of Buffalo Common Council refuses to accept results of an election. Sound familiar?https://t.co/Nx7lFF0nqU

Or maybe it’s misogyny at work?
Surely it’s just a coincidence that the (all male) city council is considering this change now that the next mayor will be the inimitable @Indiawaltonbflo 🤨🧐👀 https://t.co/XA5cdgJX9x
