With the NYC mayoral race coming to a close, Andrew Cuomo is courting right-wing creators.
It’s wild how wanting to give the public a higher quality of life turns centrists into fascists.
Blue
NO Matter WHO!Sometimes when WE Tell you!The mask is officially off, then? After weeks of pretending that he’s the “only guy who can stand up to Trump”, he’s now just openly admitting that he’s actually team MAGA?
How does this guy even walk properly, with balls like that? Please, New York. Shame this man. He desperately needs a healthy dose of humility.
he’s now just openly admitting that he’s actually team MAGA?
Always have been.
He loved the IDC (Independent Democrat Conference, a group of DINOs in NY state senate that blocked most progressive legislation despite consistent Democrat majority) when he was in power because they gave him a constant excuse for acting like the Republican that he actually is. Funny how the IDC dissolved around the same time that Cuomo’s own machine started falling apart.
Fuck this used up enemy of the people, I hope the rest of his life is lonely and miserable. I can’t wait for him to lose handily to the same upstart progressive twice in a row.
I mean, when the mask is made of tissue paper it doesn’t really take much to come off.
Some Democrat Andy turned out to be
He’s doing an RFK
No more guys in their 80’s and 70’s with nothing to lose should be in charge anymore. You gotta have skin in the game if you want my trust.
Let’s not celebrate before the day is over. Remember 2016!
But it really does sound like he just continues to fuck up:
instead of trying to cleave off Mamdani’s online support, Cuomo appears to be trying to siphon off support from Sliwa.
“It’s a desperate swing,” one Democratic strategist who spoke to WIRED under the condition of anonymity to speak candidly without involving the firm where they work. “The clear desire to align himself with power at all costs, wherever that power might be, is one of the reasons he’s getting rejected so hard online. It’s a misunderstanding of the moment.”
Also he sexually harassed women and there is nothing he can do to make us forget that.
Dems see a socialist and immediately become Republican. They are so removed from their voters…
Isn’t Mamdani a democrat? Can you explain how the democratic party running Mamdani shows they are removed from their voters?
He won the primary so they have to run him. They’ve still unofficially backed Cuomo and even Adams, though, and all of the NY Dem leadership were either late in endorsing him or haven’t yet.
He won the primary in a surprise landslide against the establishment favorite and they’ve been sulking ever since.
In contrast, Adams won his primary by a tiny margin and they were falling over each other to declare him “the future of the party” the very next day.
Well, the rules are forcing them to run with Mamdani. Plenty of Democratic lawmakers do not like it. Cory Booker, Chuck Schumer, a lot of democratic legislators in his own state are not endorsing him. A lot of them did endorse Cuomo, if they didn’t this year, they have in the past, so to be suddenly mum and not even a feeble “I support him” is… odd at best.
There’s also no word behind the scenes that any legislators are even attempting to get Cuomo to drop out after… how many years has the argument been that third parties split the democratic vote? Now you have a Democrat doing just that and no condemnation from any new York legislators that he’s risking a republican victory. Not even a chant of “Blue no matter who” If bernie sanders had ran independent against Hillary, would Democratic leaders be this silent? Schumer would be furious and making press conferences condemning him. He doesn’t do that to cuomo.
In the meantime, multiple sources have been pushing mayor Adams to step down from his own independent race. Both democratic and republican (and billionaire), presumably to get more votes to cuomo.
Looks someone didn’t follow the primary lol. Even now establishment dems range from luke-warm to outright refusal to endorse him. The attack campaigns and hugely asymmetric funding for his opponents has largely been from dems.
He’s the democrat nominee because he won against all odds, not because the establishment welcomed him.
Well. We have a bit of a situation. While not too many of us were paying attention, the democratic party was all bought and paid for by aipac and pac. We all thought it was just Republicans. It wasn’t.
The Dems have been becoming less for the people and just another Republican party. And for the last 10 years at least (likely accelerated by citizens United (aka- legal bribing of politicians) they are basically almost 100% Republican. I recall telling my lefty friends I thought Kamala sounded like a Republican. Cause she did.
Democrats were presented like the party that supported BLM, trans rights, pro lgbtq. Pro education. Housing the homeless. Food for kids. Free education. All that good stuff. But in reality they have done very little for any of those things. They just didn’t publicly go against any of them.
Though they often did vote against them if the aipac or pac money told them too. They are like 80% bought and paid for.We incorrectly assumed they stood with those good things. In part due to a few of the Dem politicians actually pushing a few bills. Mostly at the state level.
But literally just a handful of bills in the last decade. Nothing that actually fully protected these groups or services.
So when Trump started his illegal b.s, they weren’t going to go against him. Why would they. ?
Many Dems voted for his completely unqualified cabinet members.
That was at the start of the year.
Now after things have been ramping up, we have about a dozen Dems (in office) finally speaking up.
Out of those. Half are posers. They voted with Trump on cabinet picks, to block Epstein list. And they voted against Al Greens impeachment. Oh and let’s not forget. The big beautiful bill. Plenty of Dems voted for it.
So here is our predicament. We have a compromised party.
They dem posers are going to do whatever they can to keep their positions and pac money.
It’s a corrupt “club”. They don’t want anyone coming in and disrupting their power.
They don’t want new dems coming in who will show everyone how corrupt they are. Call them out. Show the people it can be different.
These corrupt Dems all need to go. And right now there are so damn many of them. Including Jeffries and Schumer. That it’s going to be a challenge just to get the party cleaned up.
At the same time we are trying to fight fascist take over.
It’s quite a lot.
But we have to clean house. Replace every single one if we have to. Any who are not being incredibly vocal and direct about Israel, Gaza, human rights, and trump.
No more Dems who won’t make a stand for us. No more Republicans pretending to be Dems.
Many are saying we need a 3rd party. We do have independents. But I do think we can take the dem party back for the people. We just need to vote in the right people. Push back against corporate bots and propaganda. Vote in our own self interest.
There’s a reason we say scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds.
This Cuomo cunt just REEKS of desperation.
That seems like a bad idea when running in New York.
Scratch a lib…
Fake libs aren’t actually libs, you know. Scratch an imbecile…find a gullible, non discerning magat.
The newest thing I’ve seen from Cuomo supporters is the twin fantasy that Sliwa will drop out and every single Sliwa polled voter will switch to Cuomo neither of which is at all realistic.
The calls for Silwa to drop out are so desperate. Asking the opposing party to just butt out of the race so the two Democrats can duke it out is just insane.
One of the reasons MAGA Republicans hate the Democrats is because they see them as craven, politically opportunistic sell-outs. All Cuomo is doing here, is giving them a living example of that stereotype.

LOL, that would mean they don’t take a look at their own party which is openly calling for the end of democracy, aligning themselves with people like Thiel and Curtis Yarvin and Musk, doing endless self-dealing, and selling America off for parts while most Americans are ground underfoot. Not sure how the Democrats could possibly top them on being craven, opportunistic sell-outs, honestly.
Cuomo is running as an independent for a reason, I think. As bad and as infuriating as the Democrats can sometimes be…they don’t want Cuomo in their party.

That’s just it…they don’t see that. At all. None of the media they consume frames it like that.
They are told, day in and day out, that everything Trump and his allies are doing is justified, because Democrats have ruined the system. They are told, that all these extreme measures that Trump is “forced” to use, are the only way to correct the course that Democrats have set for the country. They are told that Republicans have been trying to stop them all along, and now have to tear the whole thing down, just to cleanse the rot.
It’s all bullshit…but it is what they are being told. They’re being told this on the news. They’re being told this in church. They’re being told this in the job. And they’re being told this in the street. They are surrounded by an alternative version of reality, that paints Democrats as an inherently evil organization consisting of people just like Cuomo.
I would say it is true and polls reflect it. Democrats have spent the past 2 decades promising one thing and then giving up after the first hurdle. They gave up trying to reach anyone outside of major cities, and regularly sell out their base in the interest of “gaining moderates”. They have lost their credibility with pretty much everyone but yuppies. That’s why a self proclaimed socialist like Sanders polls so well in places that are 75% Pro Trump.
Yeah I have seen that all over Instagram. I think people with either not even go vote if silwa drops. Or vote mamdani.
Cuomo is like a Rudy Giuliani. He’s slimy. Greasy. You can just tell by looking at him. He looks like a sketchy ass dude who would definitely steal the police pension fund and gamble with it.
Eh. If it’s coming out in to the open now that many if not most of our democrats are actually conservatives, maybe that’s good. Exposure is good.
It’s a one party state, the conservative pro business, oligarchy, protect the billionaires at all costs party.
I think he looks a bit like Vince McMahon
It’s the high blood pressure.
Or a clever disguise… Have they ever been seen in the same room? Isn’t Vince kind of disappeared lately?
Also isn’t the situation with Cuomo kind of a classic heel turn?
Being a complete piece of shit knows no political affiliation, and pieces of shit tend to band together.
