Cuomo is such an embarrassment and a liar to boot. He lied and said he didn’t remember talking to Trump, then tells donors he and Trump have a plan. He tells the public he is Trump’s worst nightmare and then tells donors he has a plan to appease Trump.
this NY election is the staging grounds for the next presidential election.
Will there be election interference? national guard show up during the mayoral election day, hitting locations where Zohran is polling well? would the government declare the vote fraudulent and appoint whoever they want? Will the government just arrest/deport/disappear the leading candidate and fabricate a smear campaign?
keep an eye open and if anyone can, they should resist
It's a winning strategy if they can pull it off. Spoil the democrats' vote by organizing the republicans who know they are bound to lose to vote for cuomo. and once again the only thing on decency's side is decency itself because this coordination is perfectly lawful, and mamdani can basically only appeal to the honor of cheaters or the passion of an apathetic public to do anything about this.
What I'm not seeing is any explanation for why the DNC, an independent and definitely-not-captured opposition party, is accepting help from president Donald "not only is the emperor not wearing any clothes but i'm pretty sure I can make out decades-old dried blood and jism on his thighs" Trump. Unless of course cuomo has taken that extraordinary step for himself, which of course leads to the question of why the DNC, an independent and definitely-not-captured opposition party, would tolerate such a brazen display of broken faith and ~~seeking~~ finding comfort from their supposed opponents.
What I’m not seeing is any explanation for why the DNC ... is accepting help
Cuomo is running as an independent. He is running against the DNC.
Cuomo is running against the Democratic nominee, not the DNC. I haven't seen the DNC has step up to back Mamdani, and it's pretty clear that DNC leadership backs Cuomo.
If NY elects Cuomo, one of America's most powerful blue states will be in Trump's pocket.
"Let's put it this way: I knew the president very well," Cuomo said. "I believe there's a big piece of him that actually wants redemption in New York. He feels that he was rejected by New York. We voted for Hillary Clinton. Bill de Blasio took his name off things. So I believe there will be opportunities to actually cooperate with him. I also believe that he's not going to want to fight with me in New York if he can avoid it."
Pretty much just handed Mamdani the election...
All he has to do is run that sound bite in the week or two running up to the election.
New Yorkers don't want someone that will work with trump. They want someone who will fight for them against trump.
Cuomo can suck my dick
He'll do it without asking consent, first.
Jokes on him. I grant blanket consent to anyone who will suck my dick.
Game on!
Don't underestimate old ass Democrats. Donate and volunteer man.
Dems are masters at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
high stakes tee ball
Holy fuck, Cuomo just won't give up. The voters have spoken very clearly, and they said "you fucking lost."
With his corruption and sexual harassment, joining the Trump camp makes total sense for him.
Shit birds stick together
Great shit analogy, Mr Lahey.
@orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com… I am the liquor
Sure you are, Mr Lahey. Do you think it's a good idea to drive, Mr Lahey?
"Trump himself, as well as top Republicans, will say the goal is to stop Mamdani... and you'll be wasting your vote on Sliwa. So I feel good about that," Cuomo said in a leaked recording.
Liberals are in bed with MAGA. Just different kool-aid flavors.
Neo-libs are
Is it your impression that Cuomo is a liberal?
depends on your definition of liberal
He's doing a great job sinking whatever is left of his reputation.
I knew the president very well
Do tell us about that, known sex pest Andrew Cuomo
Pounce pounce pounce
He's a kitty cat
