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.

[–] bjorney@lemmy.ca 51 points 5 days ago (1 children)

For a second I had this confused with the Toronto mayoral election, where the former sex pest mayor is rumored to be considering re-running against the person who supplanted him last election

Vote progressive, the platform is impressive. The people aren’t oppressive and their art is more expressive - their passion is expressive but the message isn’t agressive.

For the people needs to be accomplished By the people.

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

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 54 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 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.

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

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.

Yep, two shit bag neoliberals running I and an actual Republican.

This is both good for Mamdani and what will be used as an excuse when he wins.

So no rallying behind the candidate then, eh?

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.

Reminds me of Jill Stein running in 2024.

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

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

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago

Yes exactly fucking like that.

Vote Blue, Vote Mamdani.

[–] AlteredEgo@lemmy.ml 57 points 5 days ago (6 children)

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

[–] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 44 points 5 days ago (7 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.

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.

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.

[–] InternetRando@lemmy.myserv.one 25 points 4 days ago

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.

He is a spiteful little ball sack.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 5 days ago

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

[–] Mammal@lemmy.world 51 points 5 days ago (9 children)

To be fair: The Democratic Party isn't a viable political engine for positive social change or a working-class agenda. If Cuomo wins it will be yet another example of how untrustworthy, hypocritical, and vapid Blue No Matter Who voting habits are.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 35 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (57 children)

Remember when mods coordinated to ban any criticism of BNMW / Blue Maga from all the major subs during 2024? How they the cultivated a community of briggading, sea-lioning, etc.. to try and suppress any criticism of an approach to politics that was obviously going to hand the country to Trump?

"Vote blue no matter who" for me but not for thee

[–] Gates9@sh.itjust.works 34 points 5 days ago (3 children)

The Democratic Party WILL rig the general election. Hell, they’ll probably work with Republicans to get their candidate in over Mamdani.

Who owns the machines? Is the software audited? Are there tabulation servers involved?

[–] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 32 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I don't know if they'll rig the actual vote directly but the DNC will most certainly spend hundreds of millions to make him look like the devil incarnate leading up to the election even if it means getting a Republican in office. They already did this in 2016 and 2024.

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

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.

“While Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams trip over themselves, to make deals in back rooms with billionaires, we are focused on fighting for working New Yorkers,” Mamdani said Monday flanked by members of the city’s American Federation of Musicians Local 802. “We are focused on the very people who make this city what it is and who are being pushed out of it.” And he replied to Cuomo’s video on X with a link to donate to his own campaign.

Idk if the link under the billionaire abuser's video was Mamdani's idea or his campaign, but of the three candidates' excerpted quotes in the article, I know which is more inspiring.

[–] gabbath@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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