Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo conceded New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary to Zohran Mamdani as the 33-year old member of the state Assembly had a significant lead in the race Tuesday night.

Cuomo’s concession came as the race’s outcome will be decided by a ranked choice count after neither Democrat got a clear majority in the vote.

Mamdani, a 33-year-old democratic socialist member of the state Assembly, started to pull ahead with more than an estimated 80% of ballots counted.

Insisting on "Viable centrist candidates" no matter how far right the GOP moves the Overton Window is how you get fascism.

At this point, a "Centrist" in the US is far right by the standards of democracies in general.

It is probably a dog whistle for Zionist. Mamdani has been outspoken against Zionism.

People can also fall for and parrot a dog whistle without understanding it.

At any rate it is ridiculous how the New York City mayor race was centered around whether the candidates "support Israel" or are "antisemites".

There are no serious GOP candidates for mayor in New York - that's why the Democratic primary rather than the general election is such a big deal. And the local Overton window is moving so far left that a man who supported Defund the Police back when it was cool (he says he doesn't anymore) is probably going to be the next mayor.
