Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo conceded New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary to Zohran Mamdani as the 33-year old member of the state Assembly had a significant lead in the race Tuesday night.

Cuomo’s concession came as the race’s outcome will be decided by a ranked choice count after neither Democrat got a clear majority in the vote.

Mamdani, a 33-year-old democratic socialist member of the state Assembly, started to pull ahead with more than an estimated 80% of ballots counted.

Good. The Democratic machine didn’t want this. It happened anyways. Maybe they will pull head from ass. (Doubtful)

How long before he gets disappeared by ICE?

It's not out of the realm of possibility, Mamdani was born in Uganda and was naturalized in 2018. If Trump really wants to test his ability to do whatever the fuck he wants, he can try to denaturalize Mamdani for some bullshit reason (even though thats not really a thing) and order him to be sent to CECOT.

Not what I was thinking. Four thugs bust into his house at 3am, stuff him in a van, and he is never seen again.

But your way is more likely.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago (4 children)

No, it will end up your way, but to keep the brown natural-born citizens who voted for him from realizing he will go after them next, he at least needs to pretend to denaturalize him, even if that's not a thing he can do.

Expect a social media post something like "I, Donakd Trmup, hereby declare that your citizenship application was deficient, and you're gone!"

(Haha, it took effort to write that, my spell check was having fits. And maybe it needs to be in ALL CAPS to be more authentic)

You know? Mebbe 60/40?

Maybe he gets shot in his home like they did Hortman. Maybe just quietly goes to gitmo?

On one hand you have spectacle, on the other hand you have fear. They're pretty fond of both.

Woot woot! M-a-m-d-a-n-i, Mamdani baby!

So you don't have to spend millions on a liberal Joe Rogan, or attack trans people, or support genocide to win a race in America? God damn, that's incredible!

I'm very happy to hear this news. Genuinely one of the best news I've heard all year round. Maybe there is a sliver of hope.

I don't mean to blunt your enthusiasm, but this was just a primary election, so only registered Democrats were voting here. So a much different demographic than 51 separate Presidential elections. But still, it's a sign that the voters in the city are fed up with the politics-as-usual the party is force-feeding them.

There are a lot more Democrats than Republicans there, though, so this should give him the inside track for the job, especially if Cuomo backs down from his threat to run Independant. (I think he knows that if he did that, he will never win an endorsement from any other Democrat, ever, so that may give him pause.) Adams is running as an independant, but I think the city is done with him. Curtis Sliwa is the Republican nominee, but he hasn't been relevant since the 80s and 90s, and is kind of a cartoon now.

You just have to ignore all polls and vote with your conscience. The polls were clearly bullshit imo. All the chatter completely ignoring everyone but Adams and Cuomo were bullshit.

Who knew making it easier for voters to pick a candidate makes the candidates easier to pick?

Didn't he just announce he was going to run third party yesterday anyway?

I swear I read an article about that on here

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

Not quite yesterday, but yeah.

FIRST ROUND KNOCKOUT! 🤛

Incredible result for him and NY, and I hope this signs the death knell of Cuomo’s career. Step off, creeper.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

he was already the poisoned fruit, no need to push.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

what if Eric Adams wins
