I suppose he figures inappropriate behaviour sort of specially qualifies him for public office now.

[–] UncleJesus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

He isn't running to win. He's running to ensure Mamdani loses.

Vote blue no matter who only applies to democratic elitists.

Vote blue no matter who, no not like that...

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Yes exactly fucking like that.

Vote Blue, Vote Mamdani.

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 42 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Failed at being governor, and now he wants to tank the duly elected mayoral nominee for the Democratic party by attempting to split the liberal voting block in NYC. Meanwhile, Trump's buddy corrupt Eric Adams is doing exactly the same as a favor to his buddy in the White House.

There needs to be a poster on every street corner in NYC explaining this.

Preferably with pictures of both Cuomo and Adams photoshopped into the clowns they are.

[–] bytesonbike@discuss.online 14 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Reminds me of Jill Stein running in 2024.

They're getting money to cause chaos because why not?

Fuck Cuomo and honestly fuck the Democratic leadership to and fuck Democrats in general.

Blue no matter who right? You bunch of hypocritical assholes on par with Republicans.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Yes, Dems have to get flushed, but other than that, this is fantastic news, this is another hubristic blunder by narcissistic political demagogues.

This will guarantee some level of split vote from the people that were going to vote for Adams again or some Republican challenger, whoever that was going to be. And there will be a lot of brainwashed median voters who have no clue what's going on just hear the facebook warnings that Mamdani is going to enact Turbo Gay Muslim Socialism that will force everyone to stand in breadlines to get their gay muslim rations.

All these years later and he still doesn't understand that no means no.

So no rallying behind the candidate then, eh?

What a shocker.

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No no we're supposed to rally behind their candidates.

This guy is a form of cancer.

This screams "I am corrupt as fuuuuuuuck!!!" so hard....like that time that Bob Dole got Elizabeth Dole elected from a state she didnt live in so he could get lobbyist access again after losing the Presidential election.

DNC normally: "3rd parties don't function in our two party system, there's no point in voting for them"

DNC after losing their own primary: 3rd party it is

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 4 points 1 day ago

The DNC would rather have a MAGA win it than Zohran.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 54 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (4 children)

"Vote Blue No Matter Who" reverts to "Party Unity My Ass" as soon as centrists don't get 100% of everything they want.

Remember kids: Vote blue no matter who only applies to progressives.

Want to run a campaign against the duly nominated candidate?

Only if you’re a neoliberal sex pest. Otherwise you want republicans to win.

Haha I wondered how they would try to stop Mamdani becoming mayor.

[–] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 44 points 2 days ago (5 children)

It's insane to me they would rather split the vote and put one of Trump's puppets in office rather than move their platform slightly left of center.

[–] IttihadChe@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

It makes sense when you think about how they are closer to Trump policy wise than they are to being left of center.

And after Mamdani hired one of the DNC's consultants to ~~nerf all his policies~~ appeal to the centrists who have thus far refused to endorse him.

It's almost as though the centrist wing of the party does absolutely nothing in good faith and will do everything they can to ratfuck anyone to their left.

The general election won't have ranked choice. Adams and Cuomo may end up splitting the "willing to vote for corrupt dirtbag" ticket and let Mamdani cruise to victory.

We can dream.

Hope lots of people keep asking him about why covid patients kept getting sent to nursing homes that were not prepared to care for them back in 2020. He was looking so good with those daily updates until it became clear they were avoiding or downplaying that question.

Great, I hope Sexual Predator Cuomo, Crooked Cop Adams, and Xenophobic Vigilante Sliwa continues their campaign so they split the idiot votes.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

This is it. In a normal Dem/MAGA election, a single spoiler can make a huge difference, but in this case, we have one actual candidate, and three spoilers. None of them are a viable candidate. It's likely that the moron vote will all get split by Cuomo, Adams, and Sliwa, leaving anyone with half a brain to vote for Zohran.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 2 days ago

So, he's going to divide the Rightwing vote.

[–] ileftreddit@piefed.social 79 points 2 days ago

If Mamdani holds out until November, the rest of the country will see that it is possible to vote for a fair shake. If he gets buried, I think voting will be the least of our worries.

[–] berno@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

VoTe BlUe No MaTtEr WhO!! 🙄

[–] gabbath@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes. Cuomo is running as an independent, so you should definitely vote Mamdani, the winner of the Democratic primary.

[–] ComradePorkRoll@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Stop being obtuse. You know Democrats have chastised leftists for not following "blue no matter who" and here they are showing us it does not work that way.

He is quite desperate to be a mayor. Maybe try a smaller town.
