Politico reports that at a Hamptons fundraiser last Saturday, Cuomo told his well-heeled supporters that, contrary to all available evidence, he could win the New York mayoral race as an independent—because he was likely to have the implicit support of President Donald Trump.
The imperative of defeating Mamdani justified the new coalition Cuomo is trying to create of his die-hard loyalists (who are Democrats) with Trump Republicans.
Some of that latter group might be tempted to back Curtis Sliwa, the actual GOP nominee in the race. Cuomo told these donors, “We can minimize [the Sliwa] vote, because he’ll never be a serious candidate. And Trump himself, as well as top Republicans, will say the goal is to stop Mamdani. And you’ll be wasting your vote on Sliwa.” Cuomo went on to emphasize that he’d be a mayor who could find common ground with Trump:
Good! That’s EXACTLY the Type of Person the Democrats need to WIN! BLUE NO MATTER WHO (UNLESS the Blue DOESNT support Trump!)!
Almost down voted you. That was subtle
… He’s running independent.
Mamdani is on the democratic ticket.
And yet Democratic leaders like Hakeem Jeffries and Corey Booker won’t support or endorse Mamdani over Cuomo.
That’s the whole point of OP’s comment. We were told “vote blue no matter who” but as soon as a Muslim wins the primary then suddenly that doesn’t apply. Look at Omar Fateh, who won the primary for Minneapolis mayor and suddenly the DNC withdrew their endorsement.
Today, so-called Lemmy “users” (or, as I am known to call them, LOSERS), very BAD PEOPLE, all of them, voted down an account which, in my estimation, may be one of the GREATEST posters on the platform. Almost, and it’s rare that I say this, better than me? Who knows, it’s possible, he’s that good. Totally UNFAIR and UNJUST, and not even the weak and powerless moderators will step in. WHO WILL END THE MADNESS? Very sad, very unfair and very RIDICULOUS situation!
SAD!
