When the chips are down, people always vote for the strong man. Will the Democrats choose to be the strong man? Betteridge's law of headlines applies.

Books are where it's at!

Yes, I've seen the "fact sheets" from Fox "News". Probably the best advertising he had.

$25M is enough to rent a couple warehouses in Manhattan where volunteers give food for free to the needy for a whole year. Instead, $25M (plus plenty of free airtime and news stories) was spent telling people how a publicly owned grocery chain selling groceries at wholesale prices is somehow financially impossible.

The media has barely even started to try.

Look forward to Mayor Cuomo. Humans are too stupid to make the right choice.

Cuomo already conceded. I guess disgraced current mayor Eric Adams is still in the race, but I can't see him winning either.

Cuomo is looking to run as an independent

[–] kkj@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 5 days ago

Fucking hell, of course he is. If a progressive runs and loses, it's all loyalty and making sure not to be a spoiler, but a progressive wins and suddenly we have two disgraced officials running as independents.

I still feel like he'll only take votes from Adams and not Mamdani, but I guess we'll see.
