He’s claiming that he isn’t deciding yet. Hopefully he drops out

In a battle of wits MalliNOtakis might have a slight lead over MTG 😆

Adams might actually win the election now cuz the people who voted for a sexual harasser rather than Mamdani are probably not voting for Mamdani in the GE.

Malliotakis is nothing more than a lying ass fear monger. All she does is attack migrants and democrats and then she’ll say shit like “can’t the Democrats put away their petty political differences for once”

no, no we can’t, Becky.

Even without Cuomo there are three candidates to split the anti-mamdani vote, so they'd still have to all agree to consolidate under one guy.

But if Adams wins again that would be so incredible, but not in a good way.

I'd go with 'neighbor's dog' and/or a random piece of furniture.

100% chance he fucked both a cousin and a sibling, and they were the same person.

Whether or not he runs, Cuomo's name WILL be on the ballot. https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/26/politics/cuomo-mamdani-mayor-november-ballot

So he’ll split the liberal vote so a republican wins. Great system we’ve got here.

My ballot had someone named Paper Boy Prince on it. I wonder wtf that is. Not enough to google it, mind you, but yeah. 
 

what was my point w this

oh yeah, at least most people know who Kanye is cuz all sorts of clowns can get on a ballot 😆

Cuomo isn’t dropping out(as of 6 hrs ago) probably because only 13% of eligible nyc voters voted in the primary although I did read an article claiming 30% 

[1pooh4u]

he’s staying on the ballot for the reason Pat said. Missing the deadline to officially drop out

[Raptorpat]

it leaves him the option depending on how things shake out over the next couple months

[SwimOdin]

This race is politics in 2025 in miniature. The incumbent or establishment candidate being asked to see the door, and even then not leaving and finding ludicrous means to try to hold on to power. Good luck y’all.

And of course, the same could be said (and probably has been) for countless generations frustrated with “the elders” and if it was t fairly obvious, I have been smoking.

He will probably run. Voter turnout was kinda abysmal 

[1pooh4u]

Politicians, particularly Democrats, need to get people excited for voting. Turnout sucks regardless of the consequences. People feel like their vote doesn’t matter.

Mamdani keeps digging himself a hole with the “globalize the Infitada” saying. He says he doesn’t want to police speech yadda yadda but when you have a saying that became a war cry against Jews, that’s a mistake. I’m not going to argue w anyone here about it or anywhere actually because the gaslighting about the saying and its meaning is pretty incredible. You can’t take a saying that was clearly meaning to be against Jews and turn around and say it doesn’t mean that. “No it just means globalize the struggle” yeah, the struggle against who? Jews, that’s who. So yeah Mamdani probably won’t get much of the Jewish vote in November and that makes things difficult because we’re like 12% of NYC.  That’s a lot when only around 23% of eligible voters voted in the last mayoral election in 2021

You just know both Adams and Silwa will make that the core of their campaigns.

They will and the media is doing it as well. Mamdani has already said Israel has the right to exist.  Which is bonkers that we’re still doing this when it comes to Israel. It exists. Nothing is going to change that. Shit, Germany still exists. Our country the US, still here. Rawanda still exists. Russia still exists. Saudi Arabia, Iran, so on and so forth still exists. No one finds it necessary to say they have that right. Israel however….lol

I've been dwelling, because that's what I do. So take "All Lives Matter" - it seems pretty self-evident and otherwise innocuous in the abstract. But we know from experiencing the context that it is a response specifically intended to devalue BLM.

This in a lot of ways feels like that exercise, except every statement has 80 years' worth of subtext to catch up on.

"Israel has the right to exist as a state with equal rights."

Is that an innocuous statement or is it provocative? Because he's been called out for saying that instead of "Israel has a right to exist as a Jewish state"?

Does he need to do a JFK speech where he explicitly lays out his position ("just because I'm Catholic doesn't mean I'm an agent of the Pope")? Or can we just get like a conversational reset to re-articulate the actual baseline positions without relying on layers of subtext? Otherwise the next six months are just going to be a complete slog.
