Former NYC resident, I would've voted for him if I lived there.

See, Cuomo was accused of sexual harassment, which, fine "innocent until proven guilty", but dude literally resigns in the middle of an investigation... yea that's pretty much an admission of guilt and this was done so his successor would try to bury it as much as possible. So yea, that resignation basically made him guilty in my mind. Also, very centrist af, another reason to dislike cuomo.

As for Mamdani, I've always liked progressives as long as they are pragmatic and they aren't supportative of authoritarian regimes like USSR or PRC, which to my knowledge, Mamdani does not support those regimes, he is a Democratic Socialist, he believes in Democracy. I don't have the red scare mindset of most Americans have so I'm not afraid of that. There's no way Mamdani could ever do anything ridiculous like "Sharia Law", that's some insane far-right propaganda. Mamdani isn't even really that religious, more like culturally religious, not so different from many of these "Christians". As long as they don't impose their views on people, it doesn't matter what their religion is.

Also, he's the only one who said he'll be staying in NYC while everyone else said they're visiting israel... like, bruh this is the Mayoral race for NYC, not Tel Aviv. The other candidates are just insane, who cares about israel, this is a Mayoral race, not POTUS. Its like they all got paid by AIPAC or something.
