Center right cumuo who is also a sex pest
Paint me bemused
Any politician criticizing Mamdani receives money from AIPAC…
Wow what a coincidence,
Free Palestine from the apartheid genocidal colonizers, the fascist Israeli regime!
Shocker progressives are popular because checks notes … they fight for everyone not just the rich

Republican: I can't tell a socialist from a communist but I can be racist at the same time.
without looking at the name, it's impossible to tell which party he's from.
They knew, that's why they threw Bernie Sanders under the bus over and over. The ones controlling the DNC do not want to lose their corporate backers if they allow true social equality.
Vote with your feet. Leave the country!
The funny thing is that The Betoota Advocate is a satirical newspaper - but this is not satire
Well well well, looks like not being republican lite does the trick
Don't worry guys. I'm sure the democrats will learn this this time around...
Susan collins is that you?
My expectation is that this will motivate them to pull another Ross Perot. They will spend all of their time working with Republicans between this election and the next dreaming up institutional hurdles to a socialist making headway in a political campaign, just like they made it institutionally impossible for third parties to sniff a presidency.
If Mamdani actually does try to do the things he says he will (which I doubt) those efforts to institutionally hamper non-conservative candidacies will be doubled.
That's pretty positive honestly, my bet is they try to imprison or kill him like every other popular socialist in modern history.
I think it will depend on Cuomo and the polling. It might be that Cuomo's presence is enough to dilute Mamdani's advantage in the election and I have no doubt the billionaires don't care if it's Adams or Cuomo sending public money their way.
But they're definitely doubling down on gatekeeping political candidacy.
