Poor people be voting for the conservative while higher income people be voting for the socialist. This is so ironic...

MODERATORS
Looks like the lower income is the Bronx and a bit of Brooklyn. Higher income is Manhattan and the Brooklyn/queens riverfront. The middle income map is more like what I'd expect to see overall based on the neighborhoods. More Cuomo for Staten Island/False New Jersey as well as east Brooklyn/Queens/Don't call it Long Island (even though they act like Nassau county is out in the country). There's a bunch of conservative, racist pricks that insist on NYC being the greatest (so they're definitely part of it) but off in homeowning urban areas pissed that they're making suburb money but paying urban prices. All while refusing to enjoy the fun parts of the city because they don't like the people there.
Bu- bu- but is he gonna visit Israel? /s
context
In a debate they asked where candidates would visit. Once one of them said they'd visit Israel, a lot of others said they would too. Mamdani basically said he'd stay in NYC because he'd be the mayor and it's important to focus on his constituents. So then the moderators are like "Just to clarify, you wouldn't visit Israel?" And he's like I wanna focus on New Yorkers then they're like "Do you support Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state?" 🙄 Absolutely insane. The man just answers "where would you visit" by saying he wouldn't travel so he can focus on constituents and it turns into a purity test about his views on Israel's existence? Just shameful. Like imagine if someone is like "I'll have a salad" and then the waiter asks "Do you support cattle farmer's right to earn a living?"
There are a lot of Jewish people in NYC, though, as Jesse Jackson once famously (and crudely) noted....
And?
How long util he gets couped by the CIA?
They're already pre-announcing the Reichstag Fire they're about to stage.
(I'm assuming it will be executed with the full and enthusiastic cooperation of the nypd)
CIA doesn't even need to get involved. Just a "terrorist" accusation and arrest them.
The fact that Clinton endorsed Cuomo is the cherry on top.
When do you think they'll realize their name is poisonous? Or would that require more introspection than a Clinton is even capable of?
I'm suspicious that sociopaths are a parasitic subspecies. Like there are these alien creatures that look entirely human walking around among us. They look like us, talk like us, but think that the general human species is inferior to their own.
What if they could identify other sociopaths, and were working in concert. Hmm, this is ridiculous.
Anyway, yeah. I don't think Clinton is capable of that level of introspection.
Let's see if Chelsea runs.
I'm honestly surprised Mamdani is still alive in the US, given his name.
It's like hearing about a mayor in a town in Nazi Germany named Abram Mankowitz.
Democrats need to be unapologetic in their stances to critics on both sides.
Holy shit! It happened! I'm elated.
Edit: Congrats New Yorkers!
"Nearly a quarter of early voters had not voted in a Democratic primary at any point between 2012 and 2024."

Here you go folks- GET INVOLVED! Go vote! Every single election, especially primaries.
Ya love to see it
Watch that rat fuck run as independent to split the vote.
He is. It's confirmed
This'll just ensure a republican win, will it not?
AOC won by a bigger margin in the general than in the primary.
Depending on if NY elections are closed or open.
Closed? Not if the same people that voted today vote again.
Open. Likely Republicans will vote across the isle to stick it to the "radical socialist" and vote for Cuomo
"Cuomo is a good strong family, true New Yorkers. They have a bridge, don't they?"
They can tappan zees nuts.
If this election was held in 2023, you have to wonder if the outcome would have been wildly different.
For once, an encouraging sign for sanity and common sense.

Good. The Democratic machine didn’t want this. It happened anyways. Maybe they will pull head from ass. (Doubtful)

So you don't have to spend millions on a liberal Joe Rogan, or attack trans people, or support genocide to win a race in America? God damn, that's incredible!
I'm very happy to hear this news. Genuinely one of the best news I've heard all year round. Maybe there is a sliver of hope.
I have seen articles saying that a Zohran win would force the Democratic Party to face change, and acknowledge the rising progressive movement. Let's see if they accept the changes, or they fight against it. I suspect they'll fight, but if other elections start moving left, they'll be forced to change.
The next big test will be the mid-term primaries. Hopefully, this win will encourage progressives to run, and hopefully they'll win enough primary races to become a serious threat, especially against Establishment Dems.
And I hope one of them is AOC primarying Chuck Schumer. That spineless, whining bitch has got to go. He holds a lot of the blame for the rise of MAGA.
I think they'll try to slow the progress as much as possible. They'll run candidates that like promise 50% of what the further-left candidate promises, cook up a resume that makes them look more "experienced" than the more further-left candidate, then when they win, they only do 10% of what's promised, then find excuses, while continuing to masquerade as a progressive.
I mean, if I were a greedy rich person, that's how I'll manipulate politics.

I don't mean to blunt your enthusiasm, but this was just a primary election, so only registered Democrats were voting here. So a much different demographic than 51 separate Presidential elections. But still, it's a sign that the voters in the city are fed up with the politics-as-usual the party is force-feeding them.
There are a lot more Democrats than Republicans there, though, so this should give him the inside track for the job, especially if Cuomo backs down from his threat to run Independant. (I think he knows that if he did that, he will never win an endorsement from any other Democrat, ever, so that may give him pause.) Adams is running as an independant, but I think the city is done with him. Curtis Sliwa is the Republican nominee, but he hasn't been relevant since the 80s and 90s, and is kind of a cartoon now.
You are way understating his odds at winning the general.
Your implicit argument that so-called "centrist" Democrats are better at winning purple states because voters all exist along a simple left to right spectrum is absolutely wrong. The people in this country are fed up and they want revolution. Republicans offered it, and Democrats didn't. The rightward lurch was just an artifact of people rationalizing their vote and conforming to the stereotype on offer.
One big excuse the Democratic establishment gave was that the world is in an anti-incombancy mood. That's a correct observation, but what is really happening is the death of neoliberalism everywhere. The one big outlier to the trend was Mexico where an aging male President successfully handed the reigns over to his protege, a younger woman. The difference is, they were progressives. Mexico is also arguably a more religiously conservative country than America.
The wonky framing of the US electorate has been the standard Democratic perspective for decades. It's what led to the income inequality we have now. It's what led to Trump, and the complete routing of Democrats in both federal and state governments. For the love of God, wake up already.
The Democrats don't win because they aren't real people, they are characters on TV that people are sick of. Neoliberalism drains the blood and passion that people want to see in leadership. Republicans have it, and Democrats don't. It's past time that changed.
