I know it would never happen, but that SHOULD be a career ending move.
Because enough people are racist enough to look the other way. Definitely maybe 30 years ago this would have been career ending, but I always say that the living memory of horrors of fascism is slowly evaporating, so the younger people don’t know well enough not to FAFO if they even entertain fascism at the slightest bit.
Stay classy.
Hope Mamdani wins.
ANOTHER republican backing Cuomo. They really are scared shitless of Mamdani aren’t they? And yes, they is both Rs and Ds.
Even if Mamdani does absolutely nothing, I enjoy seeing the pants-shitting apoplectic fits he is giving all of these bitch ass losers.
Isn’t using 9/11 as a political prop offensive to victims of 9/11?
Do fascists even mourn the dead? I saw how they reacted to Kirk, they threw a party to celebrate what comes next.
Andy Ogles (R-TN). plaster the racist piece of shit’s name all over. don’t let them hide.
Why would he hide?
The GOP has been running against the ‘coastal elites’ for decades.
He knows no one in New York has ever heard of him, but he’ll get his base riled up.
The one true thing Cuomo said is that the GOP will use Mamdani as a symbol for the whole Party.
Better symbol than Pelosi
It really doesn’t matter. If they can paint Ronald Reagan as a woke Liberal no one is safe.
Racist-ass piece of shit.
Osama bin Laden would be thrilled with the state of the US today.
This is actually what Al Qaeda wanted - to provoke destabilization of the USA by baiting over-extension in the Middle East. War sucks for the people of all nations involved, and an empire in constant war will inevitably brew dissatisfaction and dissent among its people.
I think we were headed to our current state of affairs since Reagan, but the police state status was definitely accelerated by 9/11.
Pretty sure this is beyond what even their wildest dreams imagined could happen. The US has been punching itself bloody for a long time now.
His plan worked so well that he died and it’s still going according to plan.
yeah that’s that part that shakes my head

Wake up America!
Same fucking energy. Blaming an entire ethnicity/religion/group for the horrific actions and beliefs of an in-group is shameful, but GOP politicians don’t know the meaning of shame anymore.
“All brown people are terrorists” is probably not the take to pull voters from Mamdani. The racists already weren’t voting for him.
The reason they’re so scared is the current DNC chair legitimately wants someone like Mamdani for the next presidential candidate.
If Mamdani wins, that’s enough time for voters nationwide to see socialism works before midterms and for that to domino to the presidential election.
I’ve been more optimistic about the party in the last 10 months than even 08 in the run up to Obama. The billionaires are fucking scared, and it’s gonna make the neoliberals retire like Pelosi or run to Maga like Cuomo.
Edit:
Read/watch the full interview, but this was from almost 6 months ago:
Well, first, it was a brilliant campaign. And there’s a lot of lessons.
One is, he campaigned for something. And this is a critical piece. We can’t just be in a perpetual state of resisting Donald Trump. Of course, we have to resist Donald Trump. There’s no doubt about it for all the reasons we just talked about. But we also have to give people a sense of what we’re for, what the Democratic Party is fighting for, and what we would do if they put us back in power.
And that’s really critical. And I think that’s one of the lessons from Mamdani’s campaign, is that he focused on affordability. He focused on a message that was resonant with voters, and he campaigned for something, not against other people or against other things. He campaigned on a vision of how he was going to make New York City a better place to live.
I think that’s one of the lessons. The other lessons, of course, is the tactics he used to get his message out, both a very aggressive in-person campaigning, meeting voters where they’re at, and then also in those digital spaces, using very creative messaging to cut through the noise and to get to voters in an inexpensive but authentic way.
There’s a lot to learn from that campaign, and I’m excited to learn more.
Not to mention he’s been supporting Omar Fateh for over a year:
Please, dont fall for the billionaire propaganda, they’re desperate for people to check out of politics, we need to pay attention now more than ever.
Voter apathy is the only way the oligarchs can claw back the party, and they’ll do anything to manifest that.
Including social media accounts that routinely deny reality and insist the only thing we can do is hand the party back to the oligarchs.
Don’t trust anyone who acts like voting in the Dem.primary obligates a general vote.
Even if you have no intention of voting D, vote in the Dem primary and pull the party as left as you can.
There’s literally no valid reason not to.
the current DNC chair legitimately wants someone like Mamdani for the next presidential candidate.
Delusional. Ken Martin wants nothing to do with Mamdani. Neither do the party’s highest ranking Senator and House Reps (ffs, Jeffries is IN NYC and won’t endorse the obvious front-runner). Hochul has him at a distance, while eyeing his allies in the DSA stacked state legislature nervously for fear of a primary challenge.
And the irony of all this NYC leftism popping off now is that Cuomo made it possible when he gerrymandered his own party out of a majority.
Hochul has been at campaign events with Mamdani within just the past several days, it doesn’t really look like she is distancing herself from him when you can find them literally on a stage together. I do agree about Jeffries, I think he is trying to be strategic because of his role in the House, but he sucks too much to pull it off so instead he just looks like an ass. If he was a better politician he could have threaded the needle. In some ways his non-endorsement may have ultimately benefited Mamdani, Democratic leadership is very unpopular right now and having obvious disagreement within the party over Mamdani validates his outsider image.
I mean, it’s really simple, if they hate socialism so much, all they have to do is make life a little better for regular folks.
That’s the thing though, it’s either rich get richer for them or it’s hell.
No he does not.
Stop spreading such lies about “ I want to continue taking bribes from good billionaires ” and pretending he wants anything but maintaining the status quo.
Goddamn we’re being so fucking stupid obsessing over an arbitrary number. I guess it you you have 999,999 dollars, you’re just fine.
I love how Soros is never mentioned in this mindless bullshit.
As a fellow white man, what the actual fuck is wrong with us?
Money. Money is what’s wrong with us.
I’m broken. I saw the word slam in the news and my mind went through the who, “ugh slammed again huh” then started going through “come on and SLAM! and welcome to the JAM” before I realized what the article was saying.
What the fuck is wrong with society?
