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:
To a lot of people on here “liberal” is the worst insult possible, and not in the Rush Limbaugh kind of way although that’s exactly how they use it so maybe it is.
Liberals are just right wingers who like gay rights. You’re still going to get billionaires with outsized power over society that way.
In America, all news media jams down your throat that “the left” is the liberal position; when yeah it’s left of fascism but it’s still right-of-center
And they only like gay rights if it’s “non-confrontational” “conformist” “reformist” and doesn’t bring up stuff like lgbt poverty and homelessness.
Where do you live?
I don’t know where they live but in my country the liberal party is one of the most right wing parties that ever got into the parliament.
That’s what I was thinking too
