There is a hunger for bold, transformative politics in the United States right now. Zohran Mamdani shows how the Left can run on a principled, disciplined message that speaks to voters’ lived concerns — and win.
If Cuomo runs 3rd party and the Dem establishment supports him, I’m going to fling that back at anyone who tells me to not vote 3rd party in a presidential election, lol.
I’m fully expecting them to. The Dem leadership supporting an ACTUAL leftist is only SLIGHTLY more likely than them going full fascist and endorsing Curtis Sliwa…
Last I heard, which I think was just hours old, is he’s still considering running as an independent. He hasn’t decided yet. I guess he’s waiting to see how much corporations will pay him?
The corrupt former governor sex pest he just beat, running as an independent in order to get a do-over
Current mayor in spite of being a hair’s breath from prison until he went full MAGA, always being a fascist cop (but I repeat myself) and genuinely unhinged, Eric Adams
Perennial loser and hyper-racist vigilante lunatic Curtis Sliwa.
Not only are they all awful candidates in themselves, their core demographics also overlap to such a degree that it’ll be an upset if more than one of them reaches double digits!
That’s what’s fun about the whole establishment coming out swinging against him - he just won the primary. He’s not even elected yet, and they are losing their shit.
(also, didn’t notice until after posting that you’d posted 2 days ago - sorry for the necro post!)
It’s just a primary guys. Let’s hope he wins the seat.

I’m going to flip out if the dems support Cuomo and I’m honestly half expecting them to

Sweet summer child.
“Vote blue no matter who”
Mamdani wins historic primary victory
“…shit”
He’s running as an independent, yes.
Unless they suddenly fall back in love with Adams or go full Sliwa, they will. They fight the left exactly as much as they accommodate the far right.

It would take a catastrophe for him not to.
His opponents in the general are as follows:

Two days old post is still relevant on Lemmy. It’s when someone responds to a 3+ month comment that I’m like, “how did you find me?!”
I think Cuomo is going to stay in the race, it will be interesting to see who wealthy establishment Dems support.
