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.

      When do you think they’ll realize their name is poisonous? Or would that require more introspection than a Clinton is even capable of?

        I’m suspicious that sociopaths are a parasitic subspecies. Like there are these alien creatures that look entirely human walking around among us. They look like us, talk like us, but think that the general human species is inferior to their own.

        What if they could identify other sociopaths, and were working in concert. Hmm, this is ridiculous.

        Anyway, yeah. I don’t think Clinton is capable of that level of introspection.
