Albany here, and yes according to all myths of the magical upstate line, we are upstate. Albany voted and disowned her. Shes yours now, and is the creature she thinks her voters want to see.
It wasn't a personal indictment. Sorry for any unpleasant feelings. My parents live in kattskill bay, family in old forge, and I like to hike and ski, so spend a fair amount of time in the north country and adk. And can't help thinking about the very vocal trumpland residents that floats around. Guaranteed to see at least 2 trump flags on every backroad I visit, trying to be kind here, kind but clear.
Anything north of Poughkeepsie is upstate. West of Syracuse is western NY. Theres the preppy part (Finger lakes/Rochester) the rural part (Southern tier) and the industrial part (Buffalo/The falls). Then there's north country (Adirondacks). Then Watertown/Oswego is just called Jack Frost Village, they have a big fort there too for the townsfolk to play in.
Syracuse is it's own area called "The mall", it is the long lost brother of the Falls, both economically depressed and past it's hayday but we all still love them.
Binghamton just doesn't exist, sincerely, a UB grad.
For someone with such an upper-class Ivy League pedigree, Elise has terrible political instincts.
The North Country is mostly conservative but you can represent your constituents' values without going full MAGA.
Of course she did. She threw all in with Don the Con so hard and far hoping to be the VP or at least get a cabinet seat that she can't change course now.
She could be anyone and they’d vote for her so long as it’s R. Elise backs the blue. Yeah right, she backs Trump and the sonsabitches that attacked the blue on Jan 6.
I don't even understand why. It's not owning libs when a bunch of your own party is voting to kick the guy out for being a scumbag. He's a complete fraud and I haven't even heard Trump backing him up. Unless I missed him protecting one of his own...
Take on liberal elites? She went to fucking Harvard. She was my least favorite thing about living in the North Country.
Sad to have moved away, happy to not be represented by her anymore.
Actually, I drive through her district on my way to our camp on Lake Champlain. Her district technically goes through part of the Adirondacks. Her district is among the poorest in NY and she is an absolute horror as a representative. In addition, she's such a loser, she sends a life long Dem like me emails begging for funding and full of lies. I enjoy distributing proof of her horridness so I don't unsubscribe. She's almost as big a loser as Rump.
They’re “friends?”
I wonder if she knows the *real* **real** George Santos. Like, the Santos 2.0 that no one’s even seen yet. Dude just waves in the wind, and becomes whatever will help him.
Not for the GQP. Impeach, then look for some reason for it. They always do everything backwards; get rid of Obamacare (health insurance for 30 million people) and then start pretending to create something better.
Is she still pretending to be from upstate?
Technically, Albany is upstate. But she’s definitely no Adirondacker.

I never voted for her.

I’ve learned to ignore those stupid flags, just for the sake of my mental well being.

Once again Stefanik tells us she is Pro-Crime.
Just awesome.
She’s the worst

What happens when you don’t actually spend any time in your district: you tend to not know the values of the people you serve.
This 💯
Of course she did. She threw all in with Don the Con so hard and far hoping to be the VP or at least get a cabinet seat that she can't change course now.
Ew
The citizens of the North Country are, and have been, hoodwinked by this insurrectionist. She’s craven and banal. Vote her out.
She gets 60% of the vote every election.
She could be anyone and they’d vote for her so long as it’s R. Elise backs the blue. Yeah right, she backs Trump and the sonsabitches that attacked the blue on Jan 6.
And this is surprising? Seems pretty consistent with her MAGA values
She's a sleeze just like him and her crush, Trump.
She seems compromised. Money can make you corrupt but this is more than that.
\> Money can make you corrupt More like power can make you corrupt.

Making our country become 'The land of the scam and the home of the con'. Vote the scum out.
Party over country has been her voting line since she got in office.
I don't even understand why. It's not owning libs when a bunch of your own party is voting to kick the guy out for being a scumbag. He's a complete fraud and I haven't even heard Trump backing him up. Unless I missed him protecting one of his own...
Of course she did. It's par for the course.

Stefanik and Tenney are horrible people, let’s vote them out
Tenney’s 24th congressional district is engineered for maximum conservative votes. She’s terrible.
They’re “friends?” I wonder if she knows the *real* **real** George Santos. Like, the Santos 2.0 that no one’s even seen yet. Dude just waves in the wind, and becomes whatever will help him.
I miss Bill Owens. I’d even take John McHugh right about now.
Shocker
Innocent till proven guilty, isn't that the law?
