Corrupt Right-Wing Sex Pest vs. Democratic Socialist.
Your choice?
Its up to the citizens of NYC, but my personal preference is a moderate Republican (which are rare), or a moderate Democrat over a DSA candidate. While moderate and centrist Democrats have often done a good job running cities, the cultural left has been utter disaster anytime they have been given power in a city. When you had to walk through a sea of addicts openly smoking fentanyl on as you walked into a light rail station in Seattle, you can thank the DSA city prosecutor they had. When Honduran narcotics dealers, working for Mexican cartels, and here illegally, were let back on the streets in Portland, you can think the DSA mayor and city council they had. When you can't even buy a can of deodorant without getting a store worker to open the case for you as though it were jewelry, you can thank the DSA. When your car window gets bashed in, in broad daylight while you are eating lunch in a local restaurant, and the people doing it are rolling around on 4 wheelers on city streets and not getting arrested, once again, you thank a DSA politician for that. They might mean well, but they are a ****ing disaster in local government.

There was a time when I had no major problem with Andrew Cuomo. When Chris Coumo got fired from CNN because of his involvement with his brothers political shenanigans, my ears perked up, and for him, it was downhill from there. New blood time for sure!We saw what Cuomo accomplished when he had power, and it made him resign in disgrace. Now that American politics has become more shameless, he has decided to discard what little shame he had left and run for office coasting on his family name, and offering New Yorkers the same tired politics of giving more handouts to billionaires and big businesses with the false promise that their massive profits would rain down from the penthouses down to the streets and onto the working poor of New York. Unfortunately, that warm yellow shower is not gold.
If I lived in New York City, I would vote for the candidate that actually proposes to help working people and small businesses with real, concrete policies that are within the power of the mayorship, and that man is Zohran Mamdani.

The fact that these two are the only real options represents everything that is wrong in Democratic Party politics. I guess I'd hold my nose and vote for Cuomo.
I put some money on zohran to win over on predictit. That guy is the most naturally gifted politician ever. Smart, likeable and answers tough questions with ease.
None of them.
There are also other candidates in the race.
Such as
Adrienne Adams
Cuomo is a symptom of the problems with the Old Guard. Anyone who is younger, less jaded and more enthusiastic would be a better choice IMO. Who cares if Mamdani is an idealist? Idealism is what helped build our country.

From what I’ve heard about Mamdani, he sounds like a radical Leftist, though I will grant that he’s undoubtedly a more honorable and principled person than Andrew Cuomo. In terms of politics, Cuomo is a Corporate Woke Establishment Authoritarian Democrat who caused the deaths of thousands of people in his state during the Covid pandemic. In terms of personal character, he’s a total shitbag.I put some money on zohran to win over on predictit. That guy is the most naturally gifted politician ever.

Could there be hope for you...? Dare I dream? You're more reasonable on this than some Democrats.
I'm confused. Are you saying Cuomo = Trump because they're both sex pests, or are you saying anyone to the right of a DSA member like Mamdani is Trump? I don't particularly think either Mamdani or Cuomo would be a good mayor, but I guess I'd pick Cuomo as the lesser of two evils.Why not just get it over with an vote for Trump directly? Why the pretense?
