Everyone crying about this needs to take a deep breath and remember there’s still a general election. 

True, there is. I can actually see Curtis Sliwa winning.

I don’t think most of us have a ton of faith in Eric Adams to take down Zohran

Gotta think the Zohran campaign tries to spin it that Adams is a Trump lackey.

Not impossible if the Trump shift carries over from last November. Guy needs to lose the raspberry beret though.

It’s Joever. 

 

And this is what the Democrats want.  
 

They had a split ticket on purpose so he would win - one of the candidates was Andrew freaking Cuomo.  

 

They are the socialist party but no longer hiding it anymore.  There is no other position to take because Trump out flanked them. 
 

I’ve been saying this since 2016.  
 

 

Obama really was just your starter home.

Fair enough.. screams to me that is a voting group dominated by 75k-150k white corporate libs that live paycheck to paycheck in a tiny NYC apartment, yet still brunch and go out at night, while believing they deserve a better life.

 

Easily susceptible to a slick millennial targeted campaign promising lower rent and food costs while hitting their virtue sweet spot on cops, Israel and illegal migrants. 
 

Comfortable enough to not fear the ramifications but also not wealthy enough to fear them either. 
 

True enough.

If you're in that 75-150K group you aren't buying more than a 1 BR co-op in Manhattan, and that's going to be an enormous financial strain. And given the type of job you're in, you're never going to be able to move up unless you move out (h/t Billy Joel).

 

One of the things I find intriguing (although I'm not sure how well it is working in practice): limitations on foreign buyers. A ton of prime real estate in a place like NYC or Vancouver or Miami is empty most of the time. I'm not saying it's the solution (or even "a" solution), but it's better than permanent rent freezes that would have the exact opposite effect.

Honestly.. a really good assessment, regardless of how one feels about the messenger.

Is NYC all our of Bloombergs now? Where's the business-friendly common sense faction going? It ain't Curtis Sliwa. Draft someone, anyone!

Establishment Dems like Schumer don’t want someone like Mamdani, exemplified by their endorsement of Cuomo. 
 

This isn’t the Democrat party, this is a new movement of people who feel neither party offers them much of a future. Right or wrong, they’re voting.

People have to get past Republican vs Democrat. 
 

Those parties exist in formula but each party has a war raging between the establishment wing and populist wing. 
 

Trump leading the Republican Party has helped steer R’s towards populism at a far faster rate.. but the constant pull of the socialist left has, over time, started to break the establishment Democrat stranglehold of the party. 
 

Establishment failings on both sides obviously has accelerated this as well.

I think Eric Adams absolutely can, especially now that he can craft a proper campaign against Mamdani 

Cuomo is definitely the wild card. I hope he slinks back to his home with Weiner. 

 

Eric Adams is probably the best option of the three, but I don’t think he can beat Zohran with Cuomo and Sliwa still in the race. He’ll also need to build up a semi-competitive ground game. You can’t just scream “Socialist! Jihadist! Communist! Anti-Semite!” from afar and expect anyone outside the PPP MAGA nursing home demographic to take you seriously. My guess is that the race will come down to the working-class minority neighborhoods, and so I really like Team Zohran’s odds. He’s refined the AOC 2018 playbook that enabled her to take down Joe Crowley.

 

Oh, and I’m now hearing rumors of corporate donors pressuring Cuomo to stay out of the general election. So the establishment Dem fear is both palpable and justified, in both NYC and throughout the rest of the country. Trumpian and Israeli politics are absolutely factoring into these political dynamics, but demographic breakdowns in the NYC mayoral race polling data suggest more fundamental economic fissures in play…fissures that were equally emergent in the polling data during the 2016 and 2020 Bernie primaries.

this was filmed one week after Trump won the election…quite eye opening on why Trump resonated with minorities, and then issues they wanted him to address (he’s hasn’t thus far lol)
