"And Trump himself, as well as top Republicans, will say the goal is to stop Mamdani."
Pretty strong endorsement for Mamdani, that.

When you seeing enemies like this, you know you are going the right way.
Dems will always pull to the right to beat The Left. Wake up. They don’t care about or represent you.

Stooooop. He was primaried out of the race, the dem voters did that in NYC. There are absolutely shitty people on the dem side, but it's not the entire party like the republicans right now.
Besides, it's the people in the party that make the party. Do grass roots shit to get the people causing issues out of the party.
Like the kid that got elected to the DNC then they decided they didn’t do the voting correctly and he needed to go after they realized he really meant it when he said he was going to primary “asleep at the wheel” sitting Dems?
I capitalized Dems because I'm using the proper noun. People who vote for that party are largely not at fault because they have been brainwashed to think Dems are actually progressive. For the most part, they're simply not properly educated about politics and our system ensures that.
Dems, like this asshat and Pelosi, don't give a fuck about you. Nor did Hilary. Nor did Obama. Even when they sound good, they prove themselves, by their actions, to care more about corporations and their own power than they care for the people.

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?
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.

Man I'm so used the titles over blowing things but this one really shook me. It's way worse than the title implies. He's straight up saying he'll kiss up the Trump. Sex Predators always stick together I swear.
This is the actual headline, I editorialize if I think the headline is shitty. I usually take a line from the body of the article.
Cuomo’s seeking a Trump bump
“And Trump himself, as well as top Republicans, will say the goal is to stop Mamdani.”
Of course they will. Protecting sexual predators is what R does these days. That and concentration camps.
Men who predate together stay together.
DNC komissars would rather have trump in office than Bernie circa 2016
They botched 2024 by pushing kamala that nobody wanted ot liked..
They are helping unpopular sex pests with extensive history of corruption including on homeless services and caused excess death in new York retirement homes.
At what point, will the normie accept DNc is the enemy.
They will help this regime whores over young blood getting people a energized.
DNC is the enemy of the people along with the republicans.
Both political institutions in the USA are compromised and two halves of the same coin. That has become more clear lately, but also should always have been known. They play us against each other so that "they" always win and take home the bag while we squabble over some scraps.

~~> “… you’ll be wasting your vote on Sliwa …”~~
~~guy really doesn’t know how how RCV works does he~~
as @prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone has rightly corrected me:
NYC only uses ranked choice for primaries and special elections.
https://www.vote.nyc/RankedChoiceVoting
New York City will use ranked choice voting for Primary and Special Elections for the offices of Mayor, Public Advocate, Comptroller, Borough President and City Council, due to an amendment in the City Charter approved by voters in 2019.
(and the actual mayoral election is a general election, so not a primary or a special election)
What RCV?
Pretty sure the general isn't ranked choice

That says primary and special. I thought this was part of the November general ballot?
yup you’re right! i’ve updated all my comments. i misunderstood
Whoa. Hats off to you mate. I honestly wasn't sure and appreciate you doing the legwork
Do any liberals want to lecture progressives about voting blue no matter who? About how primaries are the time to disagree? About how the two parties aren’t the same?
How he got beat in the primary by Mamdani and Cuomo is running as an independent?
Edit: Whoops, not a liberal, answered anyway.
Still though - this is quite literally the example of "primary them and replace with progressives". Like, to the letter of what you're trying to complain about not happening is exactly what happened.
You can easily read about it in any of these articles:

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/01/nyregion/mamdani-wins-mayor-primary-nyc.html
Please feel free to ask any questions you may have about how a socialist won in the primary, defeating liberals, as a means to leverage the democrat ticket for a progressive win.
I believe that's what they were sarcastically saying.
Hey guys, when it was your candidate you said "blue no matter who". Now it's a further left candidate. Can you please continue lecturing me about "blue no matter who"?
Or similar. I'm not a wordologist, that's just how I understood it.

Bare knuckle politics.
Terrible.
Cunt
You think him and trump will bond over their shared passion of being inappropriate to women?
The job of “politician” just attracts some really shitty people cos it’s one of those jobs that satisfies narcissists, control freaks, bullies, and people who think they know what’s best for everyone else.
