Mamdani Pounces as Leaked Audio Shows Cuomo 'Expecting Trump's Help' to Win | Common Dreams
this NY election is the staging grounds for the next presidential election.
Will there be election interference? national guard show up during the mayoral election day, hitting locations where Zohran is polling well? would the government declare the vote fraudulent and appoint whoever they want? Will the government just arrest/deport/disappear the leading candidate and fabricate a smear campaign?
keep an eye open and if anyone can, they should resist
I think they'll let Mamdani win and then endlessly fuck with NYC and blame him for it.
socialism always fails... thanks to US interference.
Real talk? New Yorkers kinda fuck with that.
If NY elects Cuomo, one of America's most powerful blue states will be in Trump's pocket.
There's no chance of that happening without some kind of election interference. New Yorkers hate Cuomo. He resigned in disgrace because he's a sexual predator and because he spent COVID killing everyone's grandparents and lying about it. By the time he resigned in disgrace, he was a full mask-off villain.
He's a nepo-baby politician that got to play King of New York for a very short time because of his daddy's connections. Born on third base and thinks he hit a triple. He's only doing this at all because, even though he resigned in disgrace, he thinks he's owed a shot at the White House, and mayor of New York is a first step back into the field.
I genuinely believe Alan Chartok would have a better shot at being mayor at this point.
Trump was found liable for rape, was responsible for fumbling America's response to COVID killing a lot more than just people's grandparents, and incited a violent insurrection against the Nation's capitol and despite all that America handed him back the keys to the Whitehouse.
The majority of Americans seem to have short memories. Hopefully New Yorkers are better than that.
"Trump himself, as well as top Republicans, will say the goal is to stop Mamdani... and you'll be wasting your vote on Sliwa. So I feel good about that," Cuomo said in a leaked recording.
Liberals are in bed with MAGA. Just different kool-aid flavors.
Neo-libs are
Liberals are in bed with MAGA
What an absurd and reductive take, have you considered including a drop of nuance with your hyperbole?
Are you shilling for corporations, the rich, and in bed with MAGA? No? Then, Stfu, it doesn't apply to you.
Yes, that's why a socialist was voted in and cuomo was voted out in the primaries. /s
Liberals are not socialists. If people vote for a socialist that means they're not voting for a liberal like Cuomo. Actually Mamdani is a "democratic socialist" and some socialists would distinguish that from socialism proper. But his policies are definitely working for the people, which is great to see. Liberals generally work for corporations before the people.
If you search the web for "Mamdani socialist" you find various flavors of right-wingers and evangelicals in full panic about how he'll end the world. If you look at his own website you find he proposes affordable buses, rent and childcare, and taxing corporations. Apocalyptic stuff.
Mamdami won the primary...
Wtf are you on about?
Holy fuck, Cuomo just won't give up. The voters have spoken very clearly, and they said "you fucking lost."
He's doing a great job sinking whatever is left of his reputation.
It's a winning strategy if they can pull it off. Spoil the democrats' vote by organizing the republicans who know they are bound to lose to vote for cuomo. and once again the only thing on decency's side is decency itself because this coordination is perfectly lawful, and mamdani can basically only appeal to the honor of cheaters or the passion of an apathetic public to do anything about this.
What I'm not seeing is any explanation for why the DNC, an independent and definitely-not-captured opposition party, is accepting help from president Donald "not only is the emperor not wearing any clothes but i'm pretty sure I can make out decades-old dried blood and jism on his thighs" Trump. Unless of course cuomo has taken that extraordinary step for himself, which of course leads to the question of why the DNC, an independent and definitely-not-captured opposition party, would tolerate such a brazen display of broken faith and ~~seeking finding comfort from their supposed opponents.~~ it's because cuomo isn't running as a democrat this time.
What I’m not seeing is any explanation for why the DNC ... is accepting help
Cuomo is running as an independent. He is running against the DNC.
I knew the president very well
Do tell us about that, known sex pest Andrew Cuomo
Pounce pounce pounce
He's a kitty cat
lol didn't he say in the debate that the thing about him was that he was the only one who could stand up to the orange guy? these cuomos are really the slimiest, most disgustingly unprincipled people... i never understand people who have literally zero shame.
