If either of these men get elected, the party really needs to reconsider the NY Dems position in influencing the national party. Adams and Cuomo are corrupt POS. Hochul is as inspirational as a potato. Schumer and Jeffries are the limpest opposition leaders know to modern history. Wall St cronies
He didn’t just assault women in a grotesque and criminal way—he also lied and got the elderly killed. What is wrong with the people who are supporting him for mayor?
What’s the slogan - “I didn’t need a pardon, I resigned”? That should be a hard pass on both.
Let’s stop electing predators and criminals. We all see how that’s working out right now.
We have ranked choice voting now and the key is to get a few people as possible to rank Adam’s and Cuomo at all. We actually have a lot of great people running, but of course, Cuomo has his name recognition.
If the 2024 Presidential election taught us anything it was don’t vote for douchebags. This only “upends” the election in the minds of the fuck them chattering class. Ignore them and don’t vote for a douchebag.
Politics everywhere seems to be full of people who not only don't agree with this but don't even understand the concept of it.
Shameless doesn't even begin to describe them.
does the GOP now set the standard for cities that vote overwhelmingly democratic? or maybe the democrats not countenancing horrible sex pests might actually help them differentiate themselves from republicans
Near as I can tell, all the cop, corporate, & real estate groups that support the GOP nationwide pick a equally R in all-but-name candidate to back for NYC mayor.
But there is no real mechanism to bar someone from claiming either party tag.
Because these aren’t political parties. There is no ideology or serious platforms or strategies. No disciplined membership. These are corporate fundraising groups who work to elect corporate and billionaire aligned servants.
My takeaway is Dems are soft losers and have lost the nation to morally bankrupt fascists and whatever it is Dems are doing isn’t beating the rapists. I didn’t say Dems should be rapists.
My comment is “the high road” by itself didn’t win. Americans chose amorality.
@kathyhochul.bsky.social remove Eric Adams now. We don’t just want a committee to keep him in check, we want him gone. & we don’t want cuomo either. NY deserves better. Eric Adams is corrupt.
Cuomo SAVED OUR LIVES during the pandemic. We turned the TV on every morning to hear his daily report on the truth of the pandemic, how many sick, how many deaths. He was a HERO getting first responders help with PPE & respirators while Trump IGNORED it all and lied through his teeth. Vote Cuomo.
This is pathetic and shameful. NYC does not need you and does not want you. What happened with your last job?!! This is so weak. Go do some good in the world add stop letting your ego run wild and take Eric Adams with you.
Why not? See what the US elected as POTUS... Now for SCOTUS to give these 'men' immunity from prosecution, as it would impact their executive function! Morality descends into ...
Dear @petebuttigieg.bsky.social. I know Michigan is nice, grew up there. You of course would be amazing as a senator. Can I possibly ask you and your amazing family a favor? I’m an upstate New Yorker, really enjoying the small town. I think you would do amazing things for the Big Apple.
I for one am excited to watch two thin-skinned Republican men, who enjoy cosplaying as Dems, freak out as novody votes for their sex pest / scandal ridden asses
He stands on lying about letting people die of Covid in nursing homes. He repeatedly sexually abused, then silences, women. He's a narcissist with no interest in or talent for serving people.
This NYC Democrat WILL NEVER vote for Andrew Cuomo for anything ever again. It’s wonderful that he believes he’s grown and is a better person, but he is not entitled to hold office. Go get a six figure job in the private sector and stop embarrassing us. #notmymayor #NoToCuomoformayor
Cuomo is a known sex pest who resigned the governorship in disgrace. If you can’t see why a vote for him is a vote to continue Adams’ corruption and collaboration with the fascists running the federal government, again, PLEASE DO NOT VOTE. Let those of us who understand the stakes handle it.
Yeah. Been here thru the Cuomo years. Not that bad if you ask me. Did he fuck up. Yeah. Was he a decent governor? Yeah. Does he deserve to be in the same sack as Adams? Nope. Is he a fascist collaborator? Don't think so. Should I not vote because you request it? Lol.
His legacy as governor (again aside from the massive sex scandal and rampant corruption) is using his office to block a progressive agenda at the behest of his massive corporate donors. He’s a Bush Republican masquerading as a Dem and we deserve a whole lot better. Please don’t vote.
@andrewcuomo.bsky.social actually handled the Covid pandemic than the freakin Trump admin. He will be effective as Mayor of my former stomping grounds.
I see a sense of humour is also a casualty of #Trump's America. #Democrats need to lighten up. On a semi-serious note, what's more important winning? Or having a candidate that checks all your boxes?
ah, so a "it's just a joke, but not really" sort of post. what's important is not having a corrupt abuser as mayor of new york city, especially since there's zero chance of a republican winning---except, perhaps against cuomo
It was a joke about Andrew Cuomo responding to the comment that he would just become like #Trump. However, considering the ass kicking #Trump put on the Dems. Isn't it time to be a bit less precious? 1st thing you need is a winner. Everything else is secondary.
Seriously, who’s winning right now besides Musk and his additional govt contracts? Market’s down, unemployment is up, inflation is still going above 2%, tariffs are coming and now the rest of the world hates us. I thought Colonial Mercantilism as a world view died a century ago for good reason.
Totally agree #Trump Gov is more like that of Mussolini or Perón. It's a marriage between an authoritarian state & corporate oligarchs. The Tech Bros fill their pockets while their media & SM promote Trump Gove line.
He resigned in disgrace, and The Times is acting like Cuomo’s a legitimate candidate for mayor of the largest city in America? That’s not reporting, that’s propaganda.
Hey remember when he murdered tens of thousands of nursing home patients by intentionally sending people infected with covid back to the nursing homes too soon to make room in hospitals?
Hey remember when he murdered tens of thousands of nursing home patients by knowingly sending people infected with covid back to the nursing homes too soon?
We have rank choice voting. The important thing in my mind is that we just don’t rank Cuomo and Adams at all. There are a lot of great other folks running.

The most arrogant city in the country, for no real reason, and these are your choices?
Have fun with that.
Shameless doesn't even begin to describe them.
See Al Franken.

I have nothing but pity for a city that would go from Adams to Cuomo. He's irredeemable. He should buy a 7-11 and work all the shifts.
FFS.
Isn't there someone in that state with ethics?
that would be willing to run?
It's the same song
Say what you want about Cuomo, he speaks clearly, directly, and he stands on business.
Sorry not sorry.
You're in a different business, I guess.
Lo how far we have fallen.
His ego is big enough to take on Trump.
This is so New York.
