He's running independent.
That doesn't make him any less of a Dem. It only means he couldn't win their nomination.
Is he running on the dem ticket?
Or is it a socialist running on the dem ticket due to a primary win?
The socialist isn't a Dem. Cuomo is a Dem. This is regardless of which one won. I'm a socialist and would vote for Zohran if I lived there.
The Dems (including Cuomo) are attempting to undermine Zohran's campaign. What about that position do you find untrue?
That Cuomo is running as an independent and that Mamdani is running as a Democrat.
Is he a dem soc? Damn right, and I'm damn happy to have him run (and win, I hope the idiots who won't vote for him split between the jackasses running as independent).
But he's still running as a Democrat.
And Cuomo is not running as a democrat. He's running as an independent, making a choice to not support the person who won the democrat ticket. If that doesnt mark a split from supporting the democrat party, I really dont know what does.
Better let Dem party leaders know this, they've yet to publicly endorse Mamdani.
I dont believe that impacts how his name is presented on the ticket...
Bernie Sanders ran for the Democratic nomination as president twice even though he's not part of the Democratic Party.
We're talking past one another. I'm not going to engage further. We disagree on terminology and there doesn't appear to be a solution to that. Good luck to you.
The Democratic party is composed of whoever wins the primary and various internal party elections. The fact that people like you can't seem to understand that is why it's still in such a dire state.
The fact that I defected in favor of true progressives and socialists because Dems are centrists is part of why they are in such a dire state. They sold us out. That people like you don't recognize that and demand more is also why they are so ineffectual and hence in a dire state.
The Democratic Party is the DNC. Not its voters. Not every person running on their ticket.
Doesn't make him any less of a right wing neo con shit stain*
