As for Cuomo, hope his victims get justice. Justice for the more-than-a-dozen women he sexually assaulted

Justice for the 15,000 seniors who were killed because Cuomo forced COVID-positive patients to move back to nursing homes and infect other seniors

Justice for NYers, who deserve a mayor who will prioritize affordability, instead of a mayor bought by DoorDash, big real estate, and billlionaires - who want to take more money out of people's pockets

I hope Mamdani wins and:

dismantles the police
turns empty stores in the subway into homeless shelters
opens state run grocery stores that will run other chains (like Gristede's) out of NYC
taxes the rich so they move to Florida, depleting the city's tax base

As long as he hates Israel, who cares, amirite?

Mamdani's agenda depends on funding from raising taxes which, shocker, a mayor can't unilaterally do. It's all pie in the sky fantasy.

Apparently not because he won

He won in a ranked choice primary. We shall see what happens in the general election.

For some reason they want to worry about the one that helps people and not the one that hurts them. I think that’s all we need to know about maga.

How do you not understand that Mamdani can't do much of anything he has promised. He has no ability to raise any tax other than property tax, which would hurt the middle class and make the top 5% flee NYC--and they pay a significant % of the income tax. NY constitutionally has to balance its budget. He will have to take services away or decrease from the very people who actually use them. He (and his team) are creating a fairy tale and getting politically unsophisticated people to vote for him.

However, his solution is for Mamdani to give some reassurances right now that he doesn't really mean it.

Then Larry Summers is prepared to support Mamdani, after these insincere gestures.

But I get where you’re coming from, helping average New Yorkers and the working class? Gross! Actually do your research for once.

Working class New Yorkers overwhelmingly voted for Cuomo. Mamdami was elected by wealthy and some middle class New Yorkers.

W2 earners - people who actually work and make a middle income in NYC - voted for Mamdani. Cuomo got people who don't have W2 income - either they are (1) poor getting handouts or (2) the capital gains/secured borrowing crowd.

This idea that "Mamdani got the votes of unemployed white liberals!" makes zero sense. He got the votes of people who actually work for a W2 paycheck.
