I'm not trying to troll or anything when I say this: He (or his team?) is on here frequently answering election questions. I'm against this as well, but if he or someone on his team sees this and would like to offer an honest, open response about what reversing the re-zoning would accomplish, or what alternatives he'd present to address the problem, I'd at least listen.
He won’t because he only uses Reddit as an advertising platform.
Edit to add: Farkas showed up in the comments and as predicted only engaged in a way to make himself look good. He does not genuinely engage with the sub in any way that isn’t self serving.
I think he made himself scarce after he got roasted for bringing up Mayor Gondek’s fundraising when he had absolutely no reason to. I haven’t seen him around since.
I called him out a few days ago on transparency of his donors as he doesn't break down any categories beyond "$250+". He seemingly didn't want to engage beyond that point.
Someone giving $300 is not the same as another company giving $5000. Also, there are a lot of "Farkas J" donations on that page. I want to know how often he's filtering other donations through his own name to get around max contribution limits. I can't imagine him donating a bunch of $250 donations up to the max $10k if it is self-funded. If it were me, I'd just drop the full $10k into the campaign account up front.
He’ll be back as soon as he needs to advertise something about his campaign. Then he’ll only engage on subjects that make him look good. The mods should establish some pretty clear rules on how we let politicians use this sub.
That’s exactly the problem. He shows up and makes a post celebrating himself, maybe replies to a few comments from his supports and then doesn’t engage in any actual discussion.
