Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo conceded New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary to Zohran Mamdani as the 33-year old member of the state Assembly had a significant lead in the race Tuesday night.

Cuomo’s concession came as the race’s outcome will be decided by a ranked choice count after neither Democrat got a clear majority in the vote.

Mamdani, a 33-year-old democratic socialist member of the state Assembly, started to pull ahead with more than an estimated 80% of ballots counted.

    Not what I was thinking. Four thugs bust into his house at 3am, stuff him in a van, and he is never seen again.

    But your way is more likely.

      No, it will end up your way, but to keep the brown natural-born citizens who voted for him from realizing he will go after them next, he at least needs to pretend to denaturalize him, even if that’s not a thing he can do.

      Expect a social media post something like “I, Donakd Trmup, hereby declare that your citizenship application was deficient, and you’re gone!”

      (Haha, it took effort to write that, my spell check was having fits. And maybe it needs to be in ALL CAPS to be more authentic)

        Um, what? He has better support from wealthy whites than from racial minorities.

          Plenty of brown natural-born citizens voted for Trump, under the theory that they will be considered one of the “good ones”…

            That group is infuriating. The worst are the ones that drag Democratic primaries to the right, then vote Republican anyways.

          Yes, but the white people who voted for him aren’t going to care about him deporting people for being brown. The brown people who voted for him might, if he doesn’t give at least the barest of excuse

      You know? Mebbe 60/40?

      Maybe he gets shot in his home like they did Hortman. Maybe just quietly goes to gitmo?

      On one hand you have spectacle, on the other hand you have fear. They’re pretty fond of both.
