Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

Cuomo must be seething right now. Gotta love it.
"I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life." - Mayor-elect Mamdani
You forgot the best part imo: "...but let tonight be the final time I utter his name"
A remarkably diplomatic turn of phrase, when what was really meant was, “Suck it, Cuomo!”
Hope it does wonders for his circulatory system.
It was disgusting stuff. But it also was palpably desperate, and coming from one of the worst candidates imaginable...
And yet 40% voted for him.
It also went up from earlier polls after the Trump endorsement, which helped minimize the impact of the actual GOP runner Silva.
Bigotry is certainly a strong sell to a large chunk of voters, but hell I think the red scare bullshit was probably even stronger. It's wild how many people are still capitalist brainwashed and have no idea that socialism isn't communism (or that either isn't inherently bad somehow).
The red scare bullshit worked on the basis of having an actual State that was directly militarily opposed to the U.S.
Since there is no actual democratic socialist military enemy right now, and there are Muslim allied countries, it's a really hard to sell him as being a traitor. During the red scare, it was super easy. You also had the FBI straight up prosecuting people and blocking careers for associating with the Communist party.
In my observation, the GOP is trying desperately to get back to that level of authoritarian control, but I don't think they can anymore.
But now it works on the basis of being reinforced for so long that people just accept it without any thought.
That first "sentence" is the longest sentence fragment I've ever seen in my life.
The quoted line omits the beginning “on the other.” It still doesn’t technically have a verb, but the construction makes the implied “is” perfectly coherent.
Yeah, either of those helps. I agree it's comprehensible.
Comprehensibility isn't what defines a sentence fragment. I make this observation out of pure awe, rather than criticism. Modern day Cicero vibes.
I was waiting for it to go somewhere
excluding sliwa voters, the gap between mamdani and cuomo was the same as in the primary, which is incredibly shitty when you think about it
They most likely spent more money trying to stop him than they would have paid in a tax increase. Greed is legit illogical.
One of the best headlines ever.
Is it bad that the title doesn't help determine which dumb billionaire is the dumbest?
