a tale in establishment arrogance

Even some of his supporters say Andrew M. Cuomo ran an aloof campaign for mayor that underestimated his chief rival, Zohran Mamdani.

      I already liked Zohran for his policy positions but it was a joy watching him parry what would be carrier ending questions for lesser politicians by giving irrefutable and also very much common sense answers. He is a politician head and shoulders above the failson that is Cuomo.

        I think hes ok but I also think it was a layup victory for him. There was no way he would lose. The other candidates were awful and the only other progressive one was Jewish.

                  You seem confused, it’s the right wing maga dipshits marching with swastika flags. Not progressives. It was the Republican inauguration that had musky boy seig heiling the crowd. Twice

                    nothing I said was misinfo or hateful. I fully understand why progressives arent to fond of jews at the moment. I know they arent out in the streets attacking jews and its just sentiment bleeding over from the war. The same thing happens to Russians living outside of Russia, its expected.

              That’s such an idiotic misunderstanding of literally evening happening in the world. Hating a genocidal administration is not the same as hating the people who have an ethnic ancestry related to those working in the genocidal administration.

              Holy shit.

                So? A ton of Jewish people supported Mamdani that doesnt change my point.

                    I know but there is a ton of sentiment that bleeds over and I think there was no way lander would win in the current landscape.
