this NY election is the staging grounds for the next presidential election.
Will there be election interference? national guard show up during the mayoral election day, hitting locations where Zohran is polling well? would the government declare the vote fraudulent and appoint whoever they want? Will the government just arrest/deport/disappear the leading candidate and fabricate a smear campaign?
keep an eye open and if anyone can, they should resist
If NY elects Cuomo, one of America’s most powerful blue states will be in Trump’s pocket.
Holy fuck, Cuomo just won’t give up. The voters have spoken very clearly, and they said “you fucking lost.”
“Let’s put it this way: I knew the president very well,” Cuomo said. “I believe there’s a big piece of him that actually wants redemption in New York. He feels that he was rejected by New York. We voted for Hillary Clinton. Bill de Blasio took his name off things. So I believe there will be opportunities to actually cooperate with him. I also believe that he’s not going to want to fight with me in New York if he can avoid it.”
Pretty much just handed Mamdani the election…
All he has to do is run that sound bite in the week or two running up to the election.
New Yorkers don’t want someone that will work with trump. They want someone who will fight for them against trump.
Don’t underestimate old ass Democrats. Donate and volunteer man.
Dems are masters at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
Cuomo can suck my dick
He’ll do it without asking consent, first.
Jokes on him. I grant blanket consent to anyone who will suck my dick.
high stakes tee ball
With his corruption and sexual harassment, joining the Trump camp makes total sense for him.
Shit birds stick together
Great shit analogy, Mr Lahey.
@orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com… I am the liquor
Sure you are, Mr Lahey. Do you think it’s a good idea to drive, Mr Lahey?
“Trump himself, as well as top Republicans, will say the goal is to stop Mamdani… and you’ll be wasting your vote on Sliwa. So I feel good about that,” Cuomo said in a leaked recording.
Liberals are in bed with MAGA. Just different kool-aid flavors.
Neo-libs are
Is it your impression that Cuomo is a liberal?
Yes, that’s why a socialist was voted in and cuomo was voted out in the primaries. /s
Liberals are not socialists. If people vote for a socialist that means they’re not voting for a liberal like Cuomo. Actually Mamdani is a “democratic socialist” and some socialists would distinguish that from socialism proper. But his policies are definitely working for the people, which is great to see. Liberals generally work for corporations before the people.
If you search the web for “Mamdani socialist” you find various flavors of right-wingers and evangelicals in full panic about how he’ll end the world. If you look at his own website you find he proposes affordable buses, rent and childcare, and taxing corporations. Apocalyptic stuff.
Honestly, the term liberal, socialist, neo-liberal, etc. are such loaded terms and change constantly. They also are defined on who is hating on me at that moment. I don’t have a term I call myself, but I like Bernie’s ideas 99% of the time.
Honestly? They may change constantly for you, which is why you seem confused by them.
Progressive is probably what you are looking for.
Mamdami won the primary…
For some reason people need to feel like the world is against them. Im convinced they make up 50+% of the hate they claim is against them.
I know, we’re agreeing.
Wtf are you on about?
You guys are off schedule though, what’s up?
How is asking you what the hell you’re talking about trolling?
He’s doing a great job sinking whatever is left of his reputation.
Pounce pounce pounce
He’s a kitty cat
I knew the president very well
Do tell us about that, known sex pest Andrew Cuomo
