And why would a Mamdani win be such a threat to Trump, that he felt the need to “take over” NYC? He’s basically saying, “Don’t vote for him, because Trump wouldn’t like it”. Or even worse, “Vote for me, and Trump might leave you alone.”
Time to pull this old gem out:
Cuomo isn’t even the democratic nominee! Mamdani is!
I know, but I think Cuomo is much more representative of the Democratic establishment that has been in place for several decades now. Mamdani comes from outside that establishment. In any other democracy, the two candidates would not be in the same political party, since they are not ideologically aligned, but, because the US is a de facto two party system, they are both technically “Democrats.”
I feel that establishment Democrats have often used Republicans as a threat in many elections, to basically extort their voters. Specifically, they have used the Republican threat as a way to keep the establishment Democrats in power. “If you nominate a progressive or leftist, you’ll split the party and the Republicans will win, so best just to play it safe and fall in line behind the establishment.” They’re not necessarily wrong, but it nonetheless feels like extortion.
That’s why I’ve often said the Democrats (remember, I’m talking about establishment, neoliberal Democrats) and the Republicans have been engaged in a kind of good cop/bad cop routine for many years. The Republicans being a party of violent lunatics has been useful to the Democrats. Whenever Democratic voters try to deviate too much from the neoliberal establishment, the Democrats have been able to say, “hey, if you’re not willing to cooperate with us, we’ll just send in the Republicans again, and you know those guys aren’t as nice as us,” kind of a thing.
I assume Lemmy cares passionately about the ladies of The View “interviewing” a grandma-killer/sexual harasser
ABC is owned by Disney, which means all the ladies of The View are Disney princesses CMV
They are all corporatists that bow before Mickey. Even Sunny, who is the most left winged of them all.
“Vote for me or you’ll be in danger!”
“In danger from who?”
“From me if you don’t vote for me!”
Fucking mob boss wannabe.
That’s the thing I was referencing! I could not remember it off the top of my head 😅
Hahahahahaha,lmao
“Vote for me or my best buddy Donald Trump will be super mad. Sex predator bros for life!”
Cuomo probably.
Cuomo says, “If you don’t vote for me, Trump and the corporate oligarchy will exact revenge, because I’m a little bitch baby bought and paid for by the oligarchs.” Fuck that noise. To anyone in NYC that wants to vote for Mamdani, don’t be intimidated. If you want to vote for Cuomo, I don’t have anything nice to say to you. DO NOT BOW TO FASCISTS!

If someone is not voting for Mamdani, they should vote for Adams! (They should vote for Mamdani)
My guy, Trump is supporting YOU in this race for a reason.
These old ass corrupt politicians just cling to power like malignant cancer. Go do something else you goblin
True Democrat just means neoliberal corporatist. They only care about money and the appearance of giving a shit about people.
Im listening to the Last Podcast on the Left’s new series on Himmler and they were just talking about how the Nazis used this same tactic to win over the German people. They labeled themselves as ‘Socialists’ and used leftist rhetoric to gain power despite being anything but. I think we all know how that turned out and I can’t help but draw parallels after seeing how often the Democratic party claims they’re seemingly always ‘powerless’ to improve anything while continually capitulating to every Republican demand.
Appealing to the cowardice of the centrist wing of the party.
Ah yes, extortion. I hear that works well.
Like Trump needs the excuse. He’ll do it just because they don’t have an ® next to their name.
This. If Cuomo wins somehow, suddenly Trump will go around talking about how he’s a leftist agitator and send troops in anyway.
That’s why trump supports Cuomo of course
