Andrew Cuomo says he’ll run a third-party bid for New York mayor after losing Democratic primary | CNN Politics
Fuck off
Just take the "L", Cuomo. You lost the primary, and it wasn't close either.
and all the blue no matter who dem's are rushing right now to condemn this right?
Course I do wonder if there's a republican in this race that can add to the "corrupt asshole" competition.
Current mayor, Eric Adams, is a democrat also running as an independent because he’s corrupt as fuck and everyone dislikes him
You all know you can vote for a mayor you don't hate right? Like you can all collectively write in spiderman and let Tom Holland have a shot.
is a democrat
When it benefits him. He's also a Republican and bronze tier Legion of Doom member.
Am blue no matter who. May he rot in hell.
The Republican in the race is the old Guardian Angels guy from the 70s and 80s. He's a bit of a clown, has gotten caught in a bunch of lies, and said stupid and sexist shit on the radio. But he hates Donald Trump, and owns a bunch of cats. He seems like an elder statesman when compared against your average MAGAt.
But he doesn't stand a chance, even with all these people running. Adams beat him last time 2-to-1, and nobody liked Adams in the last election, either.
Blue no matter who, in this case would mean Mamdami. He is the Democratic primary winner. So yes. I'm pretty sure almost all of them would be. What did you think blue no matter who meant? It's all about keeping someone even worse like a republican from winning the seat.
I can't speak for new york, but where I am. Third parties are non-existent realistically. I'm sure New York City in particular has a heavy Democratic turnout. Though maybe they actually have some viable third parties. But in this case all these corrupt ghouls aligning against mamdani are doing their best to split the vote for the blue so the Republican can win. I think Democrats would be wise in this instance to vote blue no matter who. Though especially because it's mamdani this time. That's all blue no matter who really meant. Standing in solidarity against the fascist. If we had done it in 2024 we would be in a much better position now.
My point mainly is made half jokingly but, I will bet a significant portion of the democratic leadership that scolds progressives, blaming losses on people that even tried to fight in the primaries (IE say people who blamed Bernie on Hillary's defeat), will also be the ones saying "oh no this is serious... we should vote for coumo because he's the real democrat). Say people like Bill Clinton that endorsed him in the primaries.
In other words, Wahh, no one likes me. Go fly a kite you chump, let someone committed to their constituents instead of big business take the floor, you've been shown the door.
Hey Cuomo, you lost! Go home! The city doesn't want you.
Going by the primary, and I definitely say we should you are correct. Only time will tell. Honestly I hope Cuomo splits the corrupt Republican vote. They will have so many highly corrupt people running in this election. I hope new York Democrats can stay focused enough to solidly vote for the Democratic nominee. And seeing that AOC is from the area I'd say that's a good sign.
Why does Andrew Cuomo look like he is going to steal the moisture in my skin?
Oh, wow. NOBODY saw that coming.
Don't Worry! EVERYONE who says Blue No Matter Who will IGNORE this INDEPENDENT because voting for him would go AGAINST their Very Solid and Honest ideology!
Absolutely blue no matter who was about solidarity against the fascists. Mamdami is the blue this time. Cuomo just another self serving vote splitting fascist enabler. So yes, blue (Democrats) no matter who (especially because mamdami seems like a great candidate this time).
I know 3rd parties actually have a presence in NY. AOC having come from them. Are there any polling close to either of the two major parties in the mayors race? And if not, why shouldn't people vote blue this time. Especially seeing as it's mamdami? Who should you have them vote for.
They aren't advocating to vote against Mamdani. They're pointing out that "blue no matter who" is almost exclusively applied to progressives who complain about establishment Dems. When it's the other way around, establishment Dems are quick to abandon their alleged principles and sabotage progressive candidates.
@BigMacHole is doing a bit, check their other, very similar comments on a number of posts.
Mamdami is WFP (working families party) endorsed and they've been going to bat for him too in their newsletters. While 3rd party is more viable in NY its primarily in an endorsement type thing as candidates can run under multiple parties (thus listed multiple times on the same ballot) and you choose the party you vote for them under. Theoretically, this gives the 3rd party more sway in pushing policies but it is rarely straight 3rd party candidates. Unsure if the city has more 3rd parties I'm unaware of (there's Republican, Democrat, Conservative, and WFP).
What a crybaby.
"Vote blue no matter who" for me but not for thee
Cuomo is not a good candidate.
My parents, who thankfully can't vote in the NYC election, don't really like Zohran. One because she's terrified of "communism" (whatever that means to her). The other is skeptical, but I feel like could be convinced. I think that's a lot of older people.
