Andrew Cuomo vs. Zohran Mamdani for NYC Mayor

Choose: Andrew Cuomo vs. Zohran Mamdani for NYC Mayor


  • Total voters

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.

You voted for cuomo in the poll? That guy is an even bigger piece of shit than Trump is.
 
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.
 
Watch at 5:42 and see a master at work. This dude has world class political skills. The more I research him the more I like him. He's a pure opportunist. He's 33 and he's never had a real job. He's an amateur rapper, which is why he speaks so well.
 
Cuomo is a terrible person even if you ignored the sexual harassment claims. Or how he sued for the gynecological records of one of the woman that came forward about him. He’s a DINO.

He’s being funded by republicans and has received a lot of donations from people that profit off ICE and house them in their properties.

The old Dem guard needs to **** off. They’re atrocious at politics, especially the old New York guard. Schumer, Jefferies, Gillibrand, Cuomo, Hochul etc all suck and need to piss off.
 


Corrupt Right-Wing Sex Pest vs. Democratic Socialist.

Your choice?


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.

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!

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.

Why not just get it over with an vote for Trump directly? Why the pretense?
 
Cuomo ran signs for his father saying, "Vote For Cuomo, not the Homo" during Mario Cuomo's gubernatorial race, is responsible for untold deaths during COVID, is a sexual predator and exists almost exclusively to serve Israel and sabotage left-wing Democrats.

But at least he's not a progressive, amiright?
 
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.

Could there be hope for you...? Dare I dream? You're more reasonable on this than some Democrats.

Ironically Zohran is running on the neoliberal Abundance Agenda, just with a progressive twist. The Abundance people still choose Cuomo, thus revealing themselves. It was never about building a coalition, it was about sabotaging the Left from within the Democratic party. Same song, different tune.

Yeah, in a sane race Zohran would be the conservative candidate and Cuomo would be in jail.

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.
WTF is wrong with New Yorkers? They had a successful TWENTY-year run with Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg, and then they followed that up with Bill de Blasio, Eric Adams, and now Cuomo or Mamdani? Did they decide they were sick and tired of economic prosperity and low crime rates?

He is a radical leftist. It is impossible for him to deliver what he's promising, especially when it comes to cost of living.

Like I said in post 8, I think it's all a show and that he's a pure opportunist. He's 33 and he's never had a job! How is that even possible? Bernie, aoc, and now this guy - none of them have ever had a real job in their entire lives.

I do however admire his excellent political skills.

Cuomo represents the existing party and the commie represents where the party is going.

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.
