Okay why is “not running in the general if you lose” not a requirement of running in the primary? That seems like a pretty obvious provision that should be in every political party’s rules for participating in their primary.

Like, completely disregarding the views of a political party, this seems like a clear administrative rule that any party with primary elections should do.

The only reason not to do that is if you’re doing “You must be a dues paying member of our party to run, and if you run in an election as anything else you are banned from the party”

He can't do that!

This was to be expected. They'd rather lose the election than having a popular socialist candidate take office.

The Cuomingtang is trying to re-group in Little St. James Island after being routed, the Maomdanists must seize the moment and deliver the finishing blow.

Best wordplay I've seen all the week, tagline-worthy

This is no laughing matter I'm afraid. How many dissidents will the Cuomingtang kill or send to the Gabagulags before order is restored?

Wow so they are cool with trying to split the vote and rather enable a republican to win mayorship huh? Gotta love the ratfuckery of democrats

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago

The Dems are completely ineffectual until it's time to stop leftward momentum at which point they become a well oiled machine

It's a good strategy so you can say "See?? Leftism isn't electable! We need to go further right!!"

Get ready for the NYT op-eds about Mamdani splitting the Cuomo vote

can you imagine how livid dems would have been if, say, after the primary Bernie ran as an independent in 2016 or 2020?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The outcome would have been exactly the same funnily enough

Edit: with a tail chance of winning I guess

Honest to god I feel that he would have been killed by some rando that was conveniently some weird off the cuff political marmot that the media could spin off to be a crazed leftist or some shit. It's just amazing to see the utter petulance and shitfit of the democratic party and I only hope that this further dissolution people from ever believing they care about actual beneficial change for the working class.

This photograph is a good start, but doesn’t go far enough. he should be legally required to show what both hands are doing at all times.

Huh

Gonna be this opaque about it?

Both Democrats and Republicans seem not to care as much anymore about keeping their masks on.
