Cuomo defeated in NYC Democratic Mayoral Primary

I confess, I don't understand the Republican obsession with this race,

Me neither. Its really almost pathetic how much this election means to them, but they act like its the end of the world in Florida District #4 if he is elected.

and the desire to give the job to Andrew Cuomo, of all people.

The establishment Dems are to blame here as well. Supporting a freaking sex pest of all people.

But it is a surprise that the GOP support goes to Cuomo instead of Sliwa.

I fully believe he's going to be a disaster as mayor, but his failure should serve as a useful lesson. It sounds cold towards New Yorkers, but they seem to have brought this on themselves.
Here I disagree, I seriously doubt he will be a disaster but I do expect he won't get 1/5 of his proposals going. Unless there is a run of support in City Council its not going to be much change. I doubt NYC is going to really suffer if Mamdami fails or succeeds in his ideas.

No, it isn't. It's not as if the GOP would mind having a freaking sex pest in charge if it's the kind of sex fiend they can rely on, is it?!

Brainster doesn't approve of (and he outright fears) rent control. The oligarchy and its supporters will obviously do their utmost to make sure that Mamdani fails and blame it on him if they succeed.

We're going to look pretty stupid when Mamdani's first act is to declare New York the new capital of the IS caliphate and under sharia law, and that the executions will start immediately.

Or he announces a scheme to make the buses free.

One or other of those terrors is coming, I'm sure.
 
Well, if he takes after those guys...

That one on the right joked they were more famous than Jesus! People literally threw away or destroyed their records. Foreigners can't just expect to talk about a righteous God-fearing white American like Jesus and not get howled down by the screams of hatred for their insolent foreignness.

It will be interesting to compare what actually happens when someone the right labels a communist is put in charge of a city with what is currently happening after someone the left labeled a fascist was put in charge of the country.
