Harris-Walz / Dems

Considering our president is a convicted rapist, I don't think sexual harassment is a career killer anymore, unfortunately.

With some voters, it's clearly not, but it really IS with a lot of folks who lean more to the left.

And I'm not disagreeing. The problem is, now that he's out of the running, he's not news anymore for most people. The left won't bring it up because they don't want that kind of heat, and the right won't bother because they're too busy trying to demonize Mamdani.

I say let the narrative that people genuinely want what Mamdani is selling play out to its logical conclusion. What's the risk, that voters will just suddenly forget why they don't want to vote for Cuomo and do it anyway?

 

[MrBlud]

The thing with politics is there’s never going to be a definitive conclusion.

If Mamdani loses, some people will say he was too progressive while others will say his ethnicity hurt him. Others might say that with two other “nominal” Democrats on the ballot (Adam’s and Cuomo) they bled support from each other and he would’ve won if he were the only Democrat, etc

Wait, there's TWO other liberals that are gonna be on the ballot?

OK at this point I am begging you to tell me that New York City uses a ranked ballot system and I just didn't realize it otherwise this whole situation is so much dumber than I realized.

Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo are both standing as Independents because of course they are. The election is first past the post.
