Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Zohran's campaign has attracted support from far beyond New York, and even far beyond the USA. It's a campaign with a message of hope and positivity. He's anything but divisive.

Cuomo's just a piece of shit.

[–] gAlienLifeform@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago

You don't understand, he's being hopeful and positive while being Muslim, and the last "national moment of unity" this fucking scumbag is willing to recognize as such is when "all" of "us" came together after 9/11 to be super shitty to anyone who looked like they were from the middle east. Taking away their easy scapegoat really does feel divisive to these psychotic ghouls.

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 50 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Kinda seems like the guy who lost the primary and decided to run anyway is the divisive one.

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 2 days ago

Stop being so violent and divisive by pointing out reality!

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

What, you mean the sex pest nobody wanted anymore is now trying to make it so the Republican party who supports his sex crimes wins?

Next you'll tell me that money wins politics.

Bro lives in the burbs and calls himself a New Yorker..

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 56 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Geography doesn't even come into play...

Mamdani grew up in NYC as the child of immigrants.

Cuomo is from a wealthy political dynasty, and he was born with a silver spoon and raised among high society.

Cuomo's been segregated from common New Yorkers his entire life, he doesn't know what an average person's life is like. We don't need Nepo babies in the people's party.

We need average citizens like Mamdani, who actually experienced what life was like for the common voters. That's literally what representative government is.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Cuomo is the "some folks are born silver spoon in hand" type.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Mero did an interview with Mamdani the other day and they talked about how Mero went to the normal public school that was rough, and Mamdani went to the school for gifted students right next door...

The original title when I saw it was like:

Mero probably robbed Zohran in school

Like, he went to the "smart kid school", but he was also walking the same streets and doing the same shit as every other New Yorker his age.

Cumo has more in common with trump than the average voter

I prefer “born on third thinking they hit a triple”

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 38 points 2 days ago

you can be a new yorker and not understand new yorkers.

Divisive? Like, more so than a corrupt nepo-baby sex pest?

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Don’t polls show Mamdani with a substantial lead over Cuomo? Does he even talk to New Yorkers or wonder why polls from multiple sources show that he’s way behind Mamdani? Sounds like he doesn’t understand New Yorkers.

I’m in Chicago though, so what do I know?

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 days ago

Yeah, his campaign is sowing division between the wealthy that control everything and the everyone else sick of being controlled

[–] xyzzy@lemmy.today 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Thankfully after next week Cuomo will go away forever.

Or go full mask off MAGA.

One or the other.

[–] Garbagio@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

My bet is mask off. Deadass I think he thinks:

  1. Mamdani isn't a "real american"
  2. Trump will deport him
  3. I'll get the mayorship by default

Cuomo is old, cooked, and has no morals to guide him through his failing mind. The perfect MAGA.

[–] desmosthenes@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

this nepo baby should go back to sex criming

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

He was probably referring to himself. Because Mamdani obviously knows what New Yorkers want.

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

"divisive" is such a stupid attack. It has no substance. Sometimes people are divided for good reasons!

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 1 points 2 days ago

Cuomo has a smart attack?
