Won’t work. Democrats are like any other voting group: they stick with their party, no matter the majority candidate. Because losing to the enemy is worse than losing to an infra-party faction. This is how Trump got elected twice. It’ll happen again, because people are predictable.
He's just hoping that enough people vote for him that it'll split the vote and that Adams will win. They're liberals, they'd rather literal fascists win than leftists.
If the market doesn't agree with a democratic victory centrists won't abandon the market, they will abandon victory.
Even by running DNC is dumping their war chest on this fight. If Mamdani loses or fucks up, those are less funds in the DNC coffers and IMO draining those idiots of every cent is a valuable goal.
The Jill Stein approach then...
is any republican even campaigining, either one will try to give each other win, adams is clearly a republican.
No, I’m not that pessimistic. Their allegiance is to party loyalty, not an opposing political viewpoint like facism. The guy’s a true believer, and his intent isn’t to sabotage to Democratic Party but to reform it. I don’t agree with all of his positions, but I like him better than Cuomo right now. The real issue is that Cuomo isn’t a right-wing Nazi like the Far-Left want you to believe. Maintain your centricity and don’t get played into viewing things the way the media outlets and political parties want you to see them.
Clearly Cuomo's loyalty is not to party because if it was he wouldn't still be running. I also don't believe Cuomo believes in anything but himself and his own advantage and the advantage of his big donors. However I'm not saying Cuomo is a far right Nazi. I'm just saying he'd rather a far right Nazi win than a leftist. Though arguably that would imply...
However I'd like to ask you to keep the personal insults to a minimum.
This is the same Cuomo who appointed two republican judges as a f.u. to the Democratic party for pushing him out for his many crimes
hes only running because the DNC saw madami was running and gaining in popularity.
That's not how it played out in Buffalo NY in their last mayoral election. A socialist won the primary and the Democratic party launched a massive write-in campaign to keep their preferred liberal "Byron Brown" in power, to the point they were handing out stamps at voting locations so that they could be used to easily "write" him. They succeeded in keeping the socialist candidate out, and despite winning, their liberal candidate ended up resigning mid-term to take a cushy C-suite job instead.
Oh. So you mean they will vote for the democrat candidate Mamdani….. right? Right?
Yes, or just not vote at all.
And just like that, not voting became acceptable. Sure is neat what having a progressive nominee will do.
Progressives vote more as a voting block than conservatives do. Oh, were you hoping that would be a sick burn?
And you're advocating for not voting because a progressive won the nomination.
What gave you the impression I was advocating for not voting? I said I expected some Democrats to not vote, not that I supported it.
Well, that was the assumption every time progressives warned centrists that people would stay home if the administration didn't abandon their unconditional arms sales that everyone knew were being used for genocide.
You're expecting greater benefit of the doubt than the anti-genocide left got from centrists. None is forthcoming. You were advocating against voting because you want sliwa to win.
Neither was I during 2024. That never stopped centrists from making that assumption about me no matter how many times I corrected them. Now centrists want better treatment from the left than they were ever willing to show the left.
No, you are advocating against voting because you want sliwa to win. Mods, this sort of thing never got removed when centrists were calling everyone to the left of netanyahu a trumper, and I'm probably foolish to expect consistency.
It doubly won't work since isn't Eric Adams doing the same thing? Two establishment politicians running as independents?
Not true, unfortunately. In Buffalo, NY, traitor Byron Brown ran and won as a write in candidate after losing the Democratic mayoral primary to India Walton.
