MODERATORS
Because all the Republicans voted for Cuomo, obviously.
If the progressives started winning primaries, and all the establishment Democrats started running independent as spoiler candidates to siphon up all the Republican votes, and the Republicans got so tiny an amount of votes as to make it hard for even them to claim they actually won the election after (whatever fraud), I think I could be okay with that.
I also enjoy that everyone is pretending Mamdani is going to be some kind of disaster that any adult or any financially sensible person can see is going to ruin everything, and he clearly won Manhattan by like a billion points.
Don't be STUPID! The Choice was between SOMEONE who Wants to Help me and a Sex Offender with Billionaire Besties who wants me to Die! It's a REALLY TOUGH CHOICE!
A lot of people are fairly conservative. Cuomo represented that, even with his history.
You say "even" there like being a racist sex predator is somehow not the normal for conservatives.
Racism. Including from Islamophobic jews that see all muslims as antisemites.
About 2 million votes cast in New York City? That's less than half of the registered voters right? For this election in particular I thought the turnout would be better.
Turnout was the highest its been in an off year election for 30 years.
