    Cuomo courting the Republican Vote is the textbook case for why these fuckers constantly lose elections.

    I’m amazed he’s not asking Liz Cheney to stump and knock doors for him.

        Then he’s doomed to lose. The man has been a pillar of the Democratic Party for twenty years. Its too late to turn coat now.

            New York Dem voters, sure. The Democratic party would not like to lose him for Mamdani…

                They’ve already embraced the right, and thanked them. That ship has sailed, you need to stop thinking of them as your saviors. They are not on your side.

    Establishment democrats would sooner platform Hitler himself before letting progressives gain power. People always quip about “leftist” infighting, but fail to see how much damage “our side” does. Courting the right with Fascist-Lite marketing, like throwing trans people under the bus, isn’t fighting against fascism: it’s just fascism.

    How many chances do we give corporate centrists like Cuomo to deny progressives like Mamdani any chance themselves?

    Reminder that this wouldn’t be happening if New York wasn’t one of the few states without ‘sore loser’ laws to prevent this exact scenario.

    Come on, New York, elect someone cool for once.

        Cuomo tried to win the primary as a Democratic candidate but couldn’t, so in most other states he wouldn’t be allowed to run in the same election under a different party. But NY has no such law, so he’s allowed to run as an independent in the same election.

          Yeah, you lost, chump. Go home, and try again next time.

          These big establishment Dems are just as arrogant as MAGAs.

      Representative Ocasio-Cortez is pretty cool in my book and New York elected her.
