Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Saturday he’ll pack his bags and flee to Florida if he loses the NYC mayoral race to socialist Zohran Mamdani.

“It’s all or nothing. We either win or even I will move to Florida. God forbid!” Cuomo told business leaders and other honchos at a Hamptons breakfast hosted by supermarket mogul John Catsimatidis.

Ok then. That was always allowed.

Wow, you dropped your D mask there Cuomo. At least we really know where you stand, cozy up with one of the reddest states if you don't get your way.

Funny side note, I typed reddest, and it autocorrects to reddit.

He isn't wearing a Democrat mask. This is, for the last couple of decades or more, the democrat party.

[–] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 weeks ago

Oh, no doubt, but usually they do a better of faking it.

[–] Tinidril@midwest.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

Except that he isn't the Democratic candidate,candidate the Democratic candidate isn't like that at all.

It's not the Democratic party, it's the Democratic establishment. There have always been some good Democrats, especially at the state and local level.

New Yorker here... Good, fuck off you with you, ya fucking schmuck.

A true Democrat. Align with corporate interests, if you get a real challenger officially switch sides.

Nah, I think they'll golf at Mar-a-Lago.

"We had our differences, but I think he would have been a great mayor—frankly New York city doesn't deserve him."

But, but, but. We were told to vote blue not matter who. Was that just propaganda to vote for corporate democrats?

[–] womjunru@lemmy.cafe 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well, yes, but it was also because every time red gets elected that take our rights away.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Weird because Blue Team has been doing that to everyone too, they're just equal opportunity about it.

[–] womjunru@lemmy.cafe 1 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Which particular rights have been removed by democrats?

The patriot act was signed by a republican, which led to the surveillance. You know this. Got any more or is that it?

To be clear, you’re mocking yourself right?

[–] DrunkEngineer@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] womjunru@lemmy.cafe 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yes that was disappointing.

How fast do you think you can come up with 100 ways republicans have taken our rights away? Five minutes? Four?

[–] Pilferjinx@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Y'all been told to mindlessly vote for a team? For me personally, it's always been a strategic vote for damage control.

[–] womjunru@lemmy.cafe 9 points 2 weeks ago

I think that’s all we really need to know. He’s already mentally in Florida.

[–] railcar@midwest.social 8 points 2 weeks ago

I thought this was mandatory for a New Yorker his age?
