Even here they're blowing off Cuomo's misogyny and sexual assault Arazi Jun 23 #12

Mamdami would have my vote by a wide margin if I was voting in that election... InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 23 #51

Cuomo / anti-Mamdani flyers being funded by Michael Bloomberg, Bill Ackman(!) and, strangest of all Prairie Gates Jun 23 #4

Pols like Mamdani are seen by "the establihment" as the leading edge Deminpenn Jun 23 #6

Didn't FDR upset the capitalist applecart too? SocialDemocrat61 Jun 23 #7

IMHO, FDR picked up the broke-ass apple cart, put the wheels back on, and got a bunch of fruit back into it 0rganism Jun 23 #24

Sorry to have to ask this. But. Whats an applecart? SSJVegeta Jun 23 #32

No surprise, we elect a serial sexual harasser and they get free ammo to call us hypocrites in regards to womens rights. Lancero Jun 23 #21

Very good question. democrank Jun 23 #41

Looking into things more, MAGA support explains why Cuomo is setting the stage for third-party ratfuckery. Lancero Jun 23 #37

Cuomo will be a disaster for NYC. The Post bronxiteforever Jun 23 #8

And how do you think the Post will treat Mamdani? onenote Jun 23 #10

Oh just as bad but I marvel at the utter idiocy of a bronxiteforever Jun 23 #23

Most people in the world neither know or care about the mayor of NYC. NYC mayor is hardly "the beacon of the Dem party" emulatorloo Jun 23 #39

It's important enough position that the sitting bronxiteforever Jun 23 #49

Trump's from NYC, so of course he knows who another NYC crook is. emulatorloo Jun 23 #54

While I dont know that Mamdani is the best candidate, I think the resulting events following his election SSJVegeta Jun 23 #15

It will be interesting to see what the November results will be Polybius Jun 23 #18

I don't. I think the only one who would have remotely a shot is Cuomo if he runs as an indepndent. SSJVegeta Jun 23 #22

I live in Staten Island, and it's very Red Polybius Jun 23 #28

I dont know anything about New York. Is it safe to assume that Staten Island is fairly affluent? SSJVegeta Jun 23 #30

Yeah, it's also the most suburban of the five boroughs, and the only place where you can find a parking space Polybius Jun 23 #33

Good information. SSJVegeta Jun 23 #34

So whats the baggage that Mamdani carries, and how is it worse than Cuomos history of sexual harassment? Lancero Jun 23 #17

He's a socialist and stinks on Jewish issues Polybius Jun 23 #19

Socialist might as well be a catch-all phrase that Republicans use, and given the recent attacks on Iran... Lancero Jun 23 #25

He dared state Israel is committing genocide in Gaza vanessa_ca Jun 23 #26

He said a lot more than that Polybius Jun 23 #35

Globalize the Intifada offends you while Israel is wiping out and forcing out the Palestinians vanessa_ca Jun 23 #36

Why can't both offend me? Polybius Jun 23 #40

Yeah, let's talk about that. Let's talk about Israel's land theft from the river to the sea vanessa_ca Jun 23 #50

BOTH Offend me. And Zorhan wouldn't say Israel has a right to exist as a Jewish State. And No I'm Not Jewish...I electric_blue68 Jun 23 #56

According to this.. Mamdani was also a Cha Jun 24 #63

I hope Mamdani wins. ananda Jun 23 #20

Good. I'm okay with him or Lander. Cuomo can go pound sand. AStern Jun 23 #31

Close your eyes MorbidButterflyTat Jun 23 #43

Good. I hope the serial sexual harasser Cuomo goes down to defeat. His candidacy is a giant FU to all women Celerity Jun 23 #53

Mamdami has no experience Danmel Jun 23 #57

And the experience Cuomo has is not one that would likely benefit New York SSJVegeta Jun 23 #58

It isnt a binary choice Danmel Jun 23 #59

Mamdani was also a Proponent of "Leave It Blank" in Cha Jun 24 #64
