So yesterday Cynthia Nixon, aka Miranda Hobbes from Sex and the City, announced that she will be campaigning for the democratic nomination for New York Governor.
As one of the best known television characters of the past 25 years, social media naturally exploded with reactions that the actress turned activist was running…
First there was the fear over why she was trending…
And people got a friendly reminder that they badly needed before they lost the run of themselves
Which, of course, was completely ignored
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
The inevitable pseudo-deep Carrie columnist memes were making an appearance
And not everyone was excited about another celebrity candidate
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
However, no Sex and the City box set? No opinion, please!
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
Contraceptive use would soar if this pun became a legit policy
Whoops!

Look, you can’t ignore the fact that one time Oprah gave away 276 cars to everyone in her audience. You just can’t.
But, Nixon, you go girl! Nolite te bastardes carborundorum!
And some Sex and the City fans had their dreams die
Whoops!

Yea, but no, they just weren’t as good as the show
Her promise to fix the subways was a huge talking point on twitter
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
Apparently the subways are so bad that New Yorkers are down for *whoever* will step up and fix them
If New York’s subway is this much of a hot mess, then this makes me very worried for the hot mess that will be Metro North…
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
More subway tweets!?
Okay, clearly v useful to know that if you wana be treated like a local in New York, you need to reference how shite the subway is…
Whoops!

I couldn’t help but wonder….will Avocado Toast sprinkled with chili flakes be her running mate?
This sweeping assertion..
Which was quickly proved to be true!
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
However, this shocking truth would make you stop in your tracks and reconsider…
And finally, a tweet to recognise that Nixon campaigned actively for same-sex marriage and that she’s been an outspoken advocate for women’s health relating to breast cancer (which she previously had) and reproductive health (through working with Planned Parenthood and penning an essay for Time magazine on a women’s right to choose and her mother’s abortion)
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
So even if she is a celebrity, she is VASTLY more qualified than Donald J Trump and Arnold Schwarzenegger and deserves a break
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
Except for some of the outfits she wore on SATC…
there’s no forgiving them
