DNC gonna keep hitting that snooze button to any and all wake-up calls.
Please please please let this one good thing happen.
This won’t affect me directly, but I’ve been pulling for Mamdani anyway. I know that basically amounts to “thoughts and prayers”, but still.
Yeah same, I’m on another continent but it’s great to see good news out of America for once. I’m happy for New Yorkers!
If New Yorkers manage to elect a Mayor that's not a bootlicker it's a sign that everything has a chance to get better.
Yeah, that’s what I think, too.
Don’t worry, even if it’s good now it won’t be good later for some dumb reason
Democrats the people of this nation are screaming at you. Listen.
Cuomo conceded. Mamdani won!!
Unless Cumo splits the vote by running as an independent in the election.
So it's him against Eric Adams now. Shouldn't be all that hard, and I wish him the best.
Long time supporter of incremental change and centrist policies here. Saw the way the Democratic party crumbled to dust after the election, saw the way Schumer and Jeffries went AWOL. It's time for change. Not just generational, but also political, social, and philosophical.
Let Mamdani win, and let him turn New York into a better, more humane place.
Cuomo still might run as an independent, and the DNC might back him given how terrified they are of someone like Mamdani
Please let this be the snowball that causes an avalanche of change in our country.
I can't wait to see what centrists are going to do instead of voting blue no matter who.
Simple: vote for Cuomo.
Cuomo's speech seemed to go more into the direction of sitting this one out and wait for a safer way to attempt a comeback.
He's probably going to do some polling but unless there's some big advantage for him in a realistic scenario, trying to run and risking losing can damage his political career beyond repair. And yes, on an ideal world it would already be dead beyond saving, but we have the world we have.
