Andrew Cuomo concedes New York Democratic mayoral primary to Zohran Mamdani - midwest.social

Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo conceded New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary to Zohran Mamdani as the 33-year old member of the state Assembly had a significant lead in the race Tuesday night. Cuomo’s concession came as the race’s outcome will be decided by a ranked choice count after neither Democrat got a clear majority in the vote. Mamdani, a 33-year-old democratic socialist member of the state Assembly, started to pull ahead with more than an estimated 80% of ballots counted.

Not the mayor I want, but then again I didn’t particularly want Cuomo either. I wish there had been a viable centrist candidate who hadn’t resigned in shame from his last position.

Insisting on “Viable centrist candidates” no matter how far right the GOP moves the Overton Window is how you get fascism.

At this point, a “Centrist” in the US is far right by the standards of democracies in general.

It is probably a dog whistle for Zionist. Mamdani has been outspoken against Zionism.

Yup, sure seems to be a zionist at any rate…

People can also fall for and parrot a dog whistle without understanding it.

At any rate it is ridiculous how the New York City mayor race was centered around whether the candidates “support Israel” or are “antisemites”.
