Cuomo concedes to Zohran Mamdani in New York City mayoral primary
Cuomo concedes to Zohran Mamdani in New York City mayoral primary
Let's fucking GOOOOO!!
This is so refreshing. A publicly self described democratic socialist. Sends a great message to the conservative democrat establishment.
A Muslim socialist. Maga is gonna seeth and I'm here for it.
More socialists please. Keep em coming.
LFG!
I hope Mamdani can lift the red scare over the US. Socialism is a fucking great thing, greetings from Germany! <3 Best of luck to Mister Mamdani
You don’t mess with the Zohran
I’m so mad I wasn’t the one to think of that.
I THINK the Problem is that Andrew Cuomo didn't have ENOUGH Billionaires backing Him! That OR not Enough Sexual Assault allegations! We need to FIND More Billionaires and Sexual Harassers before the Midterms to STEAL back ALL the people that Voted for the Socialist!
-The DNC!
Minor nitpick: Cuomo is accused of harassing so you don't need to find more harassers, you need more harassees.
Wow! What a huge win.
Is the left finally unified and rising? This is pretty stunning.
A candidate that offers real help to the working class.
The US doesn't have a "left." This is encouraging, but let's not get silly.
Then it’s time to create one.
I’ve never considered myself super “left.” But MAGA and feckless Dems have me radicalized.
It’s either this or guillotines. Time to stop playin’. Let’s fucking go.
The US does have a left, but it's atomized, disorganized and has a severe case of Stockholm syndrome towards liberals.
The US has a "left" it has just been beaten into submission and told to vote for D or it gets the hose again. And I think now it's realized it's not alone, and it's fighting back. This country fought a war to depose a king. This country fought a war to end slavery. This is a country that has spent basically all its history trying to protect itself and others from what exactly is currently happening. Yeah obviously they didn't do a great job stopping this earlier, but this is not a country that is going to let itself be taken over by conservative right-wing religious fascist authoritarianism, despite the current evidence to the contrary. The country just needs a little time to remember who it really is and shake some of the rust off, because yeah, it's been quite awhile since any of us in the west actually needed to fight for anything significant in our lives. But I also think it's silly to expect we won't. I don't think the great American experiment is over, I think it's going to continue and we're going to see how that actually works.
Maybe I'm wrong, but there are still way too many good people down there, and there are good people outside the US who want them to succeed too. The real fight will come eventually. It's anybody's guess when, where, and how. They may be down right now but don't count the US out just yet I think they've still got lots of rounds left in them.
It seems like it might finally be materializing. I don’t know every detail of Mamdani’s politics but they do seem genuinely left by American standards. I can’t think of a further left candidate that has won a prominent election in this country.
So you don’t have to spend millions on a liberal Joe Rogan, or attack trans people, or support genocide to win a race in America? God damn, that’s incredible!
I’m very happy to hear this news. Genuinely one of the best news I’ve heard all year round. Maybe there is a sliver of hop
And it wasn't even close either.
Hell yeah
Holy shit cuomo sued for the gyno records of his accusers??? I really hope he lost that but I don’t want to look and be disappointed..
Lets go if bernie and aoc support this guy its deff a great move
great win. hopefully this result empowers aoc & bernie to take over the dnc from the rotten elites like pelosi and schumer.
but now watch aipac pour everything in the elections for a republican stooge.
🤞🤞🤞🤞
Dear NYC,
I am so glad to be wrong. Thank you.
I saw the early reporting come in and I was sitting here like Ronin in Endgame going "don't give me hope..."
There's still a chance for this to turn into a nightmare but I hope it's for real
Statistically, no. Not even at the time of your writing; it's ranked choice and he cross promoted #3 guy who had 10ish %. Man it's so lopsided Cuomo threw in the towel.
I guess the real nightmare is whatever happens in the general, but even if Cuomo runs it's likely only going to hurt Adams.
That said, "don't give me hope..." applies to changes in the DNC nationally, lol.
I look forward to his single term fighting against every entrenched power structure in the city and also the procedural bullshit that will hamstring anything good he tries to do.
Or losing to the Republican.
yaasss!!
