All the media attention is on Cuomo now, but there is still plenty of time for more candidates to throw their hat into the ring before the primary begins.
This guy's only claim to fame is that he is rich. Nothing more. He should be running his companies instead of the government. That also applies to Elon and Trump.
When did we start lowering the bar for elected officials?
I don't even hate Cuomo, but he's far from a paragon of good behavior. Find me a pro-business / pro affordable housing Democrat or non-MAGA Republican and I'd gladly send Andrew off to write another self-congratulatory book.
Many Democrats did voted. That being said, Cuomo doesn't have any bigtime scandals like other candidates hanging over his head. The nursing home fiasco was bad, but what tRump during the pandemic was worse & look at where he's sitting at.
He's just another stupid magaT showman, peddling lies & practicing cruelty. Vote to keep the Orange Cancer out of politics.
Refuse fascism!
Revolution is now!

So the only options are a corrupt current mayor or a former sexual predator who resigned in disgrace so he wouldn’t be prosecuted and could run for office again? The NYC Democratic Party needs to coalesce behind one strong candidate who can win the anti-misogynist vote and take these two out.
My son, who lives in NY, supports Mamdani. But with ten candidates are running in a primary against two well known, albeit extremely flawed, people it’s hard to rise above the noise and be heard.
I hope I’m proved wrong, but I think he’s gonna win… I think people are looking for someone who can stand up to Trump and I think they’re gonna go back to Andrew Cuomo …I really do. I hope I’m proved wrong, but I think he’s gonna win.
Sorry to say, but you're right, he will win since he wasn't indicted for any crime. He made mistakes like many public officials across the nation during the pandemic, but kept the State together. His he said/she said fiasco never got him criminal indicted, so he's cleaned enough to run.
Someone needs to write up how come these serial asshats keep floating to the top. Is the whole candidate selection process really down to an old boys' network for the Dems too?
Living with paraplegia means daily challenges. I'm raising funds for an enclosed mobility scooter to boost my independence and improve my quality of life. Every donation truly matters.

Let's stop settling for mediocre and demand excellence. Remember that @barackobama.bsky.social guy? Since when do we need to just pull a Chuck Schumer and cave? Fuck that. More @aoc.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov
Not denying that he didn't have his differences with the Board of Education and the teacher's union, but that's like every governors before him. However he'll have to make nice with the teachers' union for their endorsement or it may be an uphill battle to Gracie Mansion.
I served NYC as a front liner during covid19 (public health, not healthcare) and I will say that his handling of that response is what "saved" him politically, so to speak. And he cannot run on that now. I fear people will knee-jerk vote for him just on recognition; I hope another candidate rises up
I can’t believe ANYONE would take this seriously. I know that New York is diverse, but why does it seem like it’s always the most corrupt pieces of shit that get elected?
The ranked choice ballot is an interesting point I wasn't aware of. I've always considered ranked choice ballots a good thing, so I'm def curious to know possible failures or problems that arise from it. I will have to do some digging later.
I didn't have a problem filling out the ballot but I noticed a lot of people did. One guy even asked me to fill it out for him. English was his second language
tRump being elected opens the door for Cuomo - which I believe he didn't committed any crime - to run for office. He made mistakes during the pandemic, but I don't think it should be the end to his political career. Cuomo done a lot of good for New Yorkers and that should count for something.
I would be the first to say that you shouldn't touch a woman especially if you hold public office, however the women who accused him of touching them couldn't provide solid proof what he did was sexually or intentional. Or he would be facing lawsuits & a court date.
I loathe Trump voters, but among the true believers who will vote for him if he starts WWIII and conscripts them, there are people just stuck. People who need hope -- who are so unhappy that they'll vote to blow the whole society up. Stop offering them the status quo with these old ass leaders.
When will people learn that you have zero right to be outraged if you continue to vote for someone you know FULL WELL is a HORRIBLE choice. I sure hope we learn that lesson soon. Jeezus.

First Of All Democrats Should Be Looking For A New Vision For The Party. Continuing With The Same Good Ole Boy Politics Is Not A Winner. If You Are Not A True Progressive Democrat. You Are Not Welcome To Leadership Anymore ‼️
For sure. Cuomo is hoping New Yorkers will forget his many missteps. "Amnesia" is a politician's greatest assent. No need to look further than the 2014 presidential election. Voters 'forgot' why they fired Trump in 2020.
Because that's largely who wants to go into politics &/or what they become once they get there.
Power/money corrupts most people.
We have no idea what goes on in DC either - we've heard stories of the drug fueled orgies & I'm sure they're happening.
People can use that as leverage against them.
It's between him and Zohran for me. As a New Yorker, one who's in the CITY, yeah, he made us feel safe. That's something we haven't felt in a long time.
Let's put it this way, I'm not satisfied with who is currently running City Hall and no other candidate have said they are running. Maybe it's too early. But for now, I'm supporting Cuomo until something better comes along.
Cuomo is currently the frontrunner, which reminds me of an old joke:
"...So after losing elections like a drunk at a piñata party, they cancel Al Franken for a photo, then wheel out Bill Clinton and freakin’ Andrew Cuomo like it's the Sex Offender Comeback Tour!"
"And what do you call your act?!"

How is he this tone deaf?
How are his handlers this tone deaf?
Ferfvxxsake, it’s like Gavin Newscum reaching out to red hats…as if those idiots would vote for him in 2028.
Corporate demochimps are just so MFing dummmmmmmmm.
The concept of one person having this level of power for years is stupid.
It’s the most common form of authority in America.
It’s stupid
FFS over 8 million people live in NYC, find someone better.
The Dems are going to pull the same shit with presidential elections in 2028 and then wonder how they lost.
Those 4 should cover it.

This level of corruption is a stain on democracy.

But the fact that he’s an entitled misogynist asshole should be plenty.

Politicians should have a back up plan, like football players. When you’re no longer good at it, what will you do?
