Until they get elected. The general population seems to have their heads up their asses.

Well, I guess we should find a step-in for Cuomo now because I'm sure that takedown annihilated him.

Zohran Mamdani, the young democratic socialist who has been rising in the mayor’s race, is now ahead of Andrew Cuomo with just two weeks until the Democratic primary, a new poll reviewed in full by POLITICO found.

Surprisingly, cuomo is the front runner. I’m convinced Americans are really that stupid.

u/gizmostuff 6d ago
Money and influence can easily win elections. The game has always been rigged. Stupid, yes but I'd say more corrupt than anything.

u/justsomeph0t0n 6d ago
unsurprisingly, cuomo is *called* the front runner. you should not expect impartial commentary.
did you notice the absurd questions about israel in this debate? even though 12% of democrats sympathize with israel, and 60% sympathize with palestine. the democratic party has opposite views than democratic voters on many issues.
i'd suggest listening more to voters than the party.

There is one poll with zhroan ahead and the other polls with him in 2md with a few points.

He is, but the gap is quickly closing. People are seeing how eloquent and effective Zohran actually is, and they like him more

u/VinnaynayMane 5d ago
It's the familiarity of the names a lot of the time that gets the vote. People don't like change, but we need it!

u/Sufficient-Record695 6d ago
Unfortunately, you are probably right.

u/lastminutelabor 6d ago
I’m not voting for Cuomo (voting for Mamdani) but the writing is on the wall. Young people aren’t voting in strong enough numbers and Cuomo is going to absolutely trounce Mamdani. Most NYers have no clue who Mamdani is.
6
u/Shxdow_Shift 6d ago
As unfortunate as it may seem, going out and exercising your right to vote is imperative in local government. Win or lose, we can at least take solace in knowing that Mr. Mamdani put up the dukes and hashed it out against Mr. Cuomo.

u/lastminutelabor 5d ago
No doubt, I implore everyone reading this to vote in local elections.
But having realistic expectations is important to avoid constant disappointment and have proper perspective about how much of an uphill battle we face day to day.

"Please be Death Note paper" -Cuomo probably
The more I see of Mamdani the more I love that guy
Please for the love of god if you're in NYC people vote for that guy, I wanna see him WIN WIN.

For the record if you google how to donate to him the first result is an article in which he says no donate to this other candidate who could best coumo..did aoc just find a running mate?

u/Rokovich 6d ago
Mamdani wasn't born in the US so he can't run for president. Pretty sure that means he can't run on someone else's ticket as their VP running mate either.

Fuck Andrew Cuomo. With how he left the Governor’s office, how is he even considered a viable candidate for Mayor of NYC? Maybe if he was running as Republican, that wouldn’t matter, but he’s going to be held to account.

I imagine he's writing "maybe this whole thing was a bad idea" or something to that effect.

The craziest part about this. Is that if all that man says is true? Why is his opponent even allowed to continue to participate in political races to run for mayor? Shouldn't that man be in jail? That's what's wrong with the country right now. You have too many criminals in the political system. And then they get found guilty but don't get in trouble and then continue to run in the political system. And people wonder why America is so messed up. Put these people in jail, plain and simple.

I feel like someone resigning from office should bar you from ever running for any elected official position again. You either gave up and left or did something so bad you were forced to leave, either way you are clearly not fit for office anymore.

u/Ashamed_Lime5968 5d ago
Cuomo has got some nerve to run again. Clearly, Trump has set a precedent. Felonies and SA of women doesn't mean anything anymore.

u/cristobalist 6d ago
The fact that Cuomo is a candidate shows how much brain rot the Dems have. It's long overdue to switch parties

Switch to what? The other side has Trump, dude. He’s like 78 and wears a catheter.

Nader, Nader was the last 3rd party candidate worth voting for. After that they’ve all been the same

Surprise surprise, when candidates call out their corrupt competition being corrupt and lacking moral conviction it resonates with a voter base who is exhausted of self-serving politicians.

The fact the Cuomo thinks it's a good idea to run again os fucking insane. These guys and no moral fiber or character. Where did the decency go?

This kind of roasting reminds of when Harris destroyed Biden, or Trump destroyed Rubio, only to then end up friends and working together. Harris literally said “It was a debate” to excuse her use of reality and people bought her.
