An attendee asked Cuomo directly if he or his team was in conversation with the White House about how Trump might influence the race. Cuomo didn’t directly deny it this time.
“Let’s put it this way: I knew the president very well,” Cuomo said. “I believe there’s a big piece of him that actually wants redemption in New York. He feels that he was rejected by New York. We voted for Hillary Clinton. Bill de Blasio took his name off things. So I believe there will be opportunities to actually cooperate with him. I also believe that he’s not going to want to fight with me in New York if he can avoid it.”
“We can minimize (the Sliwa) vote, because he’ll never be a serious candidate,” Cuomo told the crowd at a Hamptons fundraiser Saturday, according to audio obtained by Playbook. “And Trump himself, as well as top Republicans, will say the goal is to stop Mamdani. And you’ll be wasting your vote on Sliwa. So I feel good about that.”
Stooooop. He was primaried out of the race, the dem voters did that in NYC. There are absolutely shitty people on the dem side, but it’s not the entire party like the republicans right now.
Besides, it’s the people in the party that make the party. Do grass roots shit to get the people causing issues out of the party.
Like the kid that got elected to the DNC then they decided they didn’t do the voting correctly and he needed to go after they realized he really meant it when he said he was going to primary “asleep at the wheel” sitting Dems?
Yeah, what happened with that?
They kicked him out.
I thought they were going to redo the election
Nope it was just an excuse to push him out. Blatant corruption
So they’re just not going to redo it, just say “You lost because you won!” and have that be that?
I mean I knew what they were doing, I just didn’t think they were going to be this obvious about it.
I capitalized Dems because I’m using the proper noun. People who vote for that party are largely not at fault because they have been brainwashed to think Dems are actually progressive. For the most part, they’re simply not properly educated about politics and our system ensures that.
Dems, like this asshat and Pelosi, don’t give a fuck about you. Nor did Hilary. Nor did Obama. Even when they sound good, they prove themselves, by their actions, to care more about corporations and their own power than they care for the people.
What’s the alternative?
We’re seeing it in New York with Mamdani; stop voting for these old dinosaurs that don’t care about you, support DSA candidates and third party leftists who actually want to help you. It takes a shitton more work than just voting, and includes working for their campaigns as well.
100% agree. There is a lot of trolling on Lemmy to “Don’t vote dem!” because it has worked in the past. We have to say one or 2 replies to them so people understand that they’re trolling. It’s obvious by their responses.
Nobody is saying don’t vote for progressives. A lot of people are saying they will not vote for a conservative in general elections, so if the dems ratfuck progressives, they guarantee their own loss.
Every time you say “vote blue no matter who” and demand people pledge to vote dem no matter what, you help the dnc maintain the delusion they can win while trying to be republicans.
I knew we were cooked when we had people demanding I pledge to vote blue 1 month into the genocide in Gaza, a year before the election, instead of joining me in telling the dems what they need to do to win.
