This city is the greatest city in the world. It needs someone to lift it up and ferociously defend it, not another corrupt politician who slanders it as a menacing hellhole.

“The city just feels threatening, out of control, in crisis,” says Andrew Cuomo in an announcement video that is 18 minutes long — www.nytimes.com/2025/03/01/n...

And we all know how well that worked out for Darren Bailey when he ran for Illinois governor

cameronleroux.bsky.social•7 days ago

thats why any sane person would ensure theyre registered dem so they can vote for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social in the primaries!

This is basically my exact take

nancyhicks.bsky.social•8 days ago

Cuomo running reminds me of Pence running in the GOP primary. Both sides hate Pence. Why bother to run for office?
Same with Cuomo. Both sides hate him.

Im disgusted as usual with trump but so disappointed in a brother who would do business with the corrupt man who paints his white face orange & doesn't care if he looks like a fool with 7 or 8 pathetic blonde hairs covering his bald old head.

Who would be your dream candidate (who would also have a shot)

martinkroeger.bsky.social•8 days ago

It remains a puzzle to me that pissing on the very thing you're seeking to lead is a tried and true winning strategy in American elections, at least recently.

Cuomo needs to stay out.

pornofoleyartist.bsky.social•8 days ago

As a New Yorker let me just say fuck Andrew Cuomo. He was a piece of garbage as Governor and he is a confirmed sex pest and lying sack of dog shit.

darnie.bsky.social•8 days ago

He’d never win.

watertigernyc.bsky.social•8 days ago

Preach!

virginiam.bsky.social•8 days ago

I think local Dem candidates all over could get a ton of mileage out of “I love this fuckin place! These are the things I love about it! These are four specific things I want to do so I can love it even more! Hell yeah!”

virginiam.bsky.social•8 days ago

Addendum: “Hell yes, we’re all going together! No one gets left behind!”

harriet75.bsky.social•8 days ago

While i agree. The other guy running is a terrorist sympathizer. Anyone else running besides those two yet?

stismail.bsky.social•8 days ago

Several.

harriet75.bsky.social•8 days ago

Ah yes! Stringer I knew . I get texts from him. Adams should really bow out. I don't think he is a viable candidate now.

stismail.bsky.social•8 days ago

He's not, but he can't drop out with the threat of prosecution over his head. . . .

harriet75.bsky.social•8 days ago

Very true.

jackacid.bsky.social•8 days ago

TBH, even Anthony Weiner would be an improvement over Adams.

sju08.bsky.social•8 days ago

NYC DEM politicians are the worst.

"The grifter vs. the raper." "but, I also grift." "I also rape."

heidiotoo.bsky.social•8 days ago

something so bleak about this is that Cuomo wouldn't be entering the race if the person he thought he could compete well against wasnt (also) a total pos.

misspetite.bsky.social•8 days ago

Don't even think it! There are so many young vibrant honest people willing to serve, why go back to failed corrupt politicians. He NY #SayNoToCuomo

hudsonrivercroc.bsky.social•8 days ago

18 minutes long? Who’s going to watch the entire thing? The guy should never have power and yet we are so bad at choosing mayors

nonplussed73.bsky.social•8 days ago

It’s striking how much this echoes trump’s first inauguration speech.

wingtips.bsky.social•8 days ago

Wait, not another narcissist!

heyaintthat.bsky.social•7 days ago

What city?

marcvonborstel.bsky.social•8 days ago

Anyone notice how Democrat voters speak out against criminal Democrat politicians?
Republicans should try it sometime.

chriswb71.bsky.social•8 days ago

What is it with conservatives slandering the people they want to represent?

brentscipio.bsky.social•8 days ago

Fearmongering to relate to nimbys is such a tired, effective, strategy for big city Dems. We have to have an effective counter to this rhetoric.

queengwenevere.bsky.social•8 days ago

That whole “Tough On Crime” schtick is the only play these gangsters have, and it’s getting tired, especially when they have to manufacture most of the crime themselves.

Can’t we get someone who thinks this city is pretty neat and wants to make it possible for more people to live here affordably?

pisseartiste.bsky.social•8 days ago

It's like they've never been to New York City at all.

kthorjensen.bsky.social•8 days ago

I’m so exhausted from Menace Politics, this insane obsession that Nefarious Poors lurk just outside your field of vision and only frenzied neoliberal capitulating can protect you from them

clanghoff.bsky.social•8 days ago

Coulda had Maya Wiley.

We've a Renaissance woman for mayor in Boston, @mayorwu.boston.gov, so obvs she has a moneyed challenger in Josh Kraft, son of Patriots owner and Trump pal Bob Kraft.

Money is why we can't have nice things.

Why would NYC want to follow in trump’s footsteps? Again? and Again?

jcar8mm.bsky.social•8 days ago

I’m so sick of all this right wing-inflected slander of NYC. It’s all lies.

jos1463.bsky.social•8 days ago

mlmcg.bsky.social•8 days ago

NYC please please please not another loser!! You’re too good for this you could’ve had Maya Wiley

jcar8mm.bsky.social•8 days ago

You can thank Andrew Yang for that.

fizzixrat.bsky.social•8 days ago

And yet, every single time…

freepelican.bsky.social•2 days ago

Sit down, Andrew Cuomo !

aprillia.bsky.social•8 days ago

Very trumpian, calling the place you live a garbage dump.

whetstone.bsky.social•8 days ago

to the extent that what cuomo says is true, it’s because of his administration dicking over the state and specifically the city & the mta, and because we elected an incompetent and corrupt cop from jersey to help the city recover from covid

speakupgirl.bsky.social•7 days ago

NYers better get their shit together and show Cuomo he’s not welcome!

leoobannon.bsky.social•8 days ago

Are there any normal people running for mayor in NYC?

brooklynmarie.bsky.social•8 days ago

He's so loathsome.

1liners.bsky.social•8 days ago

Maya Wiley coulda done better than all of them.

cedrocket.bsky.social•7 days ago

Can't she run again?

1liners.bsky.social•7 days ago

There is nothing stopping her that I know if, except it's alot of work to get on the ballot and run and I don't know her willingness to try...after an unsuccessful attempt before.

getfcked.bsky.social•7 days ago

in other words, it needs a woman
