Elections NYC mayoral race

[Scerpi]

Pretty meaningful that said governor endorsed Mamdani over the much more mainstream Cuomo.

At the very least she could have stayed quiet and not endorsed either.

She's in danger of being primaried... She's god awful, but Cuomo is even more unpopular

So she did what Mamdani did... put on one face for the public but there's zero way she'll betray her corporate donors behind the scenes.

There's almost zero chance will be able to fund most of the policies he ran on.

"The most important fact is that we fund it, not the question of how we do it"...

...Should be the official slogan of socialists everywhere.

The neocon boomer retard reaction to Mamdani is embarrassing. No wonder people under thirty have swung 45+ points away from these idiots that need to go out to pasture.

Bill has a special diamond room in the ivory tower. He's so out of touch living a life of extreme luxury and selfishness for like 40 years or more.

I heard Trump is going to meet with Mamdani... I wonder if Trump is considering doing it in a helicopter?

This dude is legit trolling hard. Making the 9/11 terrorist defense lawyer his chief legal counsel. Definitely a flex that the west is losing the spiritual war and Islam is winning

Yeah, he’s insane to be sure. His dei pick for fire chief is also laughable since she has never been a firefighter. Paramedic, yes-but not a firefighter.

I can see why Mamdani got elected. Incredibly articulate. Disciplined in interviews. Excellent on social media. Even his clothing feels like a brand - conservative but young. No rich guy cosplay. No activist scruffiness.

His success for real people (not the posters who are already in tears about a mayor in a city where they don't live and hate on principle) will come down to what sort of political operator he is and luck. (Key policy planks like affordability are mostly driven by things outside of a Mayor's control. Remember when Rudy G got outsized credit for lowering crime in the 90's and it turned out that crime was falling almost everywhere regardless of policies? That is the life of a politician.)
