Gross. This is how the establishment hijacks the democratic process. This election should be between Sliwa and Mamdani, but the establishment is going to be able to swoop in and cram in their disgusting swamp creature by using all their resources to block the anti-establishment candidates. I'm anti-Socialist but would still vote for Mamdani over Cuomo if I lived in New York. All these people voting for Cuomo because they keep being told Sliwa can't win in New York, well, they are the reason that Sliwa can't win in New York.

Interesting article.

It's amazing how readily people have forgiven Cuomo for killing all those old folks during Covid.

The funniest thing to me about this race, is watching both elected Democrats AND Republicans totally lose their minds over Mamdani.

I feel bad for Sliwa, but Republicans are outnumbered in NYC.

Thank you for calling out the totally ludicrous “sexual harassment” accusations. They went from ridiculous to absurd. All of them. Starting with Bennet’s bun. Laughable. I read the entire lot from the AG releases. Whatever wasn’t redacted. And also the rebuttals from Rita Glavin. It was just a contrived plot to oust Cuomo. And now I find out (from you) that Mamdani was involved with it back in 2021. DSA is a patient Trojan Horse.

But Mickey.

Who cares about Staten Island?!?

Also, Mamdani is the accelerationist candidate! I think he should be voted in.

Worse - I am worried that once he is elected, nothing will actually happen. My personal AGI estimates that at 99.99999999%.

So, just go for Zohran!

From the outset, picking failed sleazeball Cuomo always looked like a plan to hand the win to Mamdani.

Who could have guessed a load of racists and people from countries with very different ideas about acceptable ways to treat women would be Cuomo voters? Disgraziato.

I’m sure Treasure was about to say “…bastards” before you interrupted her. Gotta learn to listen Mikey. 😁

That's sort of the general reaction one would get in a largely "conservative" environment. Which is sad, as it betrays the absence of residual decency: Cuomo is not electable, full stop. That after four decades or more of redistribution of income and wealth upward an impasse has been reached. More Americans than ever, 39% think that socialism might be the way to go now. The numbers of thos who believe in captalism are down do 54%. And that all despite uncessant propaganda for caqpitalism and no major medi being behind the other side. Maybe people start to believe that it is irrational dto do the same all the time and expect different results.

"When compromising with evil the only one to win is evil."

A vote for Mamdani or Cuomo is a vote for evil.
