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:
Yes, but you go ahead and be sure to vote for “More of the Same” on the ballot if we’re lucky enough to have an election in 2028.
See how much changes from doing nothing.
How.much has changed from doing something?
You people have had since this time last year to understand how all of this works. If I have to explain how the concept of voting works to you, our problem is FAR greater than I ever thought possible.
Idk what you mean by “you people”. I’m pointing out that doing the same thing that’s repeatedly failed and expecting it to not fail is really stupid.
So not voting is stupid and bound to fail. You’re right.
Harris won my state. I could have voted dozens of times and it wouldn’t have changed the outcome.
Imagine what would happen if tens of millions of people felt the same way…
Oh, wait! We don’t have to.
The population of Connecticut is less than 4 million, so most of those tens of millions of people would be wrong.
Willful ignorance is only fun for the willfully ignorant.
You’re part of the problem.
It’s a two-pronged strategy.
Following me around are you?
A two pronged strategy beats no strategy- any day of the week. At least I’m not left to let others decide for me.
The fuck… the two-pronged strategy is to funnel as much as wealth possible to the those who already have it.
That’s better than… no strategy to funnel as much wealth as possible to those who already have it?
Like I said, I used to think useful idiots were rare.
Your unwilling to contribute the bare minimum to stop a fascist is why we are here.
You did nothing and let others make the decision for you. In your protest of chemo, you allowed the cancer to thrive.
Take a bow. This is all on you.
You can just re-read my last line whenever you’re confused about why you’re wrong.
I’m going to block you now. People like you are insufferable.
Some gifts just wrap themselves.
