Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a video released Monday that he will run an independent campaign for New York City mayor, weeks after losing the Democratic primary to Zohran Mamdani.
For a second I had this confused with the Toronto mayoral election, where the former sex pest mayor is rumored to be considering re-running against the person who supplanted him last election
Vote progressive, the platform is impressive. The people aren’t oppressive and their art is more expressive - their passion is expressive but the message isn’t agressive.
For the people needs to be accomplished By the people.
The DNC sure as hell isn’t pushing Mamdani, is the point.
Whether they’ll put their enormous propaganda machine behind Cuomo, Adams, or none of the candidates remains to be seen, but you can bet your bottom dollar that they won’t be going anywhere near as hard for the progressive running under their banner as they have for both of the Republicans in all but name he’s running against in the past.
The DNC leadership is almost half as corrupt and hypocritical as the fascist party they pretend to be the only possible alternative to.
Remember kids: Vote blue no matter who only applies to progressives.
Want to run a campaign against the duly nominated candidate?
Only if you’re a neoliberal sex pest. Otherwise you want republicans to win.

It also reminds me of the incumbent NDP ridings we lost to the cons because liberal voters don’t do strategic voting, yet they expect progressives to.

Thank you Robin Williams Batty.
There is exactly 0 comparison more honorable.
You think the DNC is pushing this? Or is this just throwing shit to throw shit?
Vote blue still applies here. I don’t know who told you it doesn’t.
Someone needs to tell that to Cuomo.
Cuomo can fuck right off. And he’s declared himself not part of the DNC.
Yeah but he’s a registered Democrat and should back the nominee.
Unless you’d be okay with Bernie running as an independent in 2016.
No shit. Cuomo’s a shitbag.
I think they’re going to be more open about doing so as the election approaches.
Progressives step aside when centrists win the primaries that the party went to court for the right to rig.
Well, let’s see what happens. If the Democratic establishment pushes Mamdani hard, this will be true.
The person you’re replying to is just used to the establishment fighting against progressive insurgents.
Sure, and pigs might fly!
Never forget that it was a coalition led by the Dem leadership on behalf of AIPAC that ousted both Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman.
They always fight tooth and nail against progressives and roll over on most of the demands of the fascists in the name of “bipartisanship”
As is anyone who’s ever paid attention 🤷
Thanks, I’ll tell your waiter.

Or at least that’s the narrative you want on Lemmy. It’s partly true.
Nope, that’s what factually is happening.
Just because the Neoliberals from your favorite billionaire-owned media says something doesn’t make it true.
IDK what you’re saying, the progressive is the blue in this context. Mamdani is the DNC candidate, Cuomo is independent.
