It feels like the Democratic Tea Party that everyone’s been trying to stop for the past decade finally is here. Nobody is safe in this environment. Nor should they be. Very few have anything to run on.

AFFORDABILITY wins again. It's really obvious where the Democrats need to be.

Everyone is automatically assuming Cuomo runs in November. But that was if Mamdani barely squeaked by. I wonder if he says f it and tries to run for governor again lol

According to @dropsitenews.com, after it became clear Mamdani was going to win, NYPD began closing streets around the party as a precautionary measure -- not on purpose, but a recognition that this could be the next mayor of the city and there should be protection there.

Pics or it didn't happen.

Count on New York.... #mamdani

I don't know who this guy is on @dropsitenews.com doing the analysis, but he is like independent medias version of Harry Enten without the theatrics :D great analysis!!!!

OMG OMG OMG ZORAN!!!!!! OMG OMG OMG FREAKING

Do remember that Cuomo was supposed to end up winning the first round vote, just not 50%. This result is completely the opposite of what was expected. And it appears that Mamdani may just win it on the second or third round, which i don't think anybody saw.

Use Buffalo as a blueprint. The important thing is getting out there immediately and saying "the voters have spoken, and both Adams and Cuomo need to respect that. In Buffalo, we were too focused on the fact we won the primary that the lane was left open for Third Way/establishment types to swarm in

"Copyright is evil and should be abolished!" AYE can we stop with this take. Yes, corporations have abused the F out of copyright protections, but artists still rely on whatever protections copyright offers. It's the only reason a big corporation can't just steal literally everything we make.

What kind of analysis is this? Or just more I can't stand anybody that remotely resembles Bernie's policies. Like this is the punditry we need to wash out of the Democratic Party.. jfc.

The Bronx cost Mamdani the first round win. JFC guys.

I don't think there's enough out there, but Mamdani will be very close to 50% at the end of this first round count. I didn't expect this one

62% in, and Mamdani still expanding his lead. This might mean ED wasn't as friendly to Cuomo as he had hoped. But who knows (But damn, Staten Island is actually close!)

Could it be that this might be over tonight? Really looks like it might not need eight rounds to decide this as some polls suggested

I couldn't agree more. Labeling it "resistance spam" is accurate. These folks are terminally online in the same way that QAnon was. There is an active contingent on here promoting election denial conspiracies. There is no benefit to these accounts to anyone. Keep posting, please. Do not stop.

The lack of planning for the post-Trump era worries me. Yeah, we win, then what? There should already be work underway to put together a plan. It shouldn't be secret. People want to know how this ends. This needs to answer questions down to what happens when cabinet secs are impeached, etc.

Man, 6 hours to find out if New Yorkers took the first big step in moving beyond the establishment.

Ha, that kid can sleep through anything!

Grindr never said this (nor would they, considering they have turned the app into a money pit -- $40 a month to see who is looking at your profile - not kidding)

I understand some folks' desire for Mamdani and Kahlil to have an event together. But realize that in this moment, anything but focusing on Cuomo is a distraction. Mamdani doesn't need any other headlines other than how he's surging. He's gotten this far through a masterful AOC-like campaign.

You know what is going to happen to Mamdani, the same thing that happened in Buffalo. I don't have much faith in NYC doing the right thing, TBH.

100F.. 77 dewpoint. Heat index? 117. Absolutely brutal heatwave here.

😂🤣🤣

There is a non-zero chance that our attack today on Fordow was a failure. There is almost no evidence so far that this was a success, and if that's the case, the fallout from this decision will be very severe.

I always caution people about reading their own political beliefs into these polls, but when Independents are moving EN MASSE.. that's a sign it's more than just a left-right, Dem-Rep thing. www.mediaite.com/media/news/n...

I had at one point thought, DHS is fine. Just abolish ICE. No, it's now clear the entire post 9/11 government expansion needs to be rolled back in its entirety, including the Patriot Act.

Everyone is like omg because Elon is reprogramming Grok because he doesn't like the answers its giving means AI is dangerous. I don't see it that way at all. I see it as validation that Elon is so far out of the mainstream that even AI bots programmed to "think like him" think he's full of shit. :)
