Major Democratic donors — who poured tens of millions into a Super PAC for Cuomo — were having private discussions Wednesday about whether to back an independent run by Cuomo in November’s general election, or rally behind unpopular incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, who’s also running as an independent.
Let the ratfucking commence, folks.

Dems are so washed; they can’t even co-opt a victory any more. He’s popular and still has a (D) after his name! All you have to do is claim victory and do nothing to support him!
please please just shutter the entire party over this dems. it’s too late, the anti-zionists have gotten in, you have to burn it all down. not one step, etc.
fire the consultants, collect your insurance money for the HQ buildings, pack it in and scatter yourselves to the winds it’s the only way
i know biden’s enthusiastic support for genocide already did the heavy lifting here but democrats are really going to the mat to let muslims know they’re not welcome in their big tent
It should be said this anti-muslim craze from the DNC is having a leaking cascade effect on other demographics in the Big Tent, once bigotry is normalized for one demographic the normalization quickly passes on to other demographics
The blue MAGA types don’t even realize they’ve basically put muslims, Hispanics, and black people on their shit list, which begs the question, who exactly is left in this “tent”
The DNC left hand doesn’t know what it’s Zionist right hand is doing, without the kayfabe of inclusion the dems have zero media motion and the illusion is being broken for millions of dem loyalists
Then there’s Mark Gorton with the realpolitik
Gorton gave $250,000 to Cuomo’s “Fix the City” super PAC but told the Times he ranked New York City Comptroller Brad Lander as his first choice for mayor.
He added that he will likely support Mamdani because Lander and the state assemblyman cross-endorsed each other in the mayoral race.
“I feel like people misunderstood my $250,000 for Cuomo for real enthusiasm,” Gorton told the Times. “It was basically, ‘Oh, looks like Cuomo is coming back. We don’t want to be shut out. Let’s try and get on his good side.’”
Which tells you everything you need to know about Cuomoland; if you don’t grease his palms, you’re dead to him.
Man that gini coefficient be wild when assholes can just throw away life-changing money to bribe possible politicians “just in case”
It’s not corruption if it’s legal, actually, it’s just patriotism
Joining the Cuomintang comes with a heavy price
Both parties are led by a Cash My-Check, turns out.
Clintons operated the exact same way. Sadly it’s all too common in this bribery-driven capitalist hellscape.
Thinking about signing up for a new twitter/bluesky account just so I can tweet “Vote Blue No Matter Who” at all the angry libs.
“A vote for a third party is a vote for Swila! You’re not a racist Cuomo bro are you? How convenient you just don’t want to vote for the first Asian mayor!”
Incredible bit and you should definitely do this. In fact everyone should. And when libs get mad about it and shout about it just post the pictures of those Dems who were running away from pro Palestine protestors with their hands over their ears.
I’m going to do this too. Concern troll about how we can’t risk losing the white working class that Mamdani won over.
Also, I’m going to have fun smugly telling them “what are you gonna do? Vote Republican?”
Please do this
That would be cathartic if nothing else.
Lmao do it
Establishment Democrats looking to recover from 2024’s losses fear Mamdani could hurt the party’s brand nationally
I don’t know what they think their brand is if “running a sexpest fossil with reactionary politics whose only qualification is that people know their name and losing” isn’t it
I guess it’s only genuine Democratic Party™ if the election winner has the “R” label of authenticity
This is always the go-to excuse to refuse support for any actually progressive candidates. “Oh sure he’s super popular to unprecedented levels, but we can’t support them because they’re just not helping our electability y’know?”. Same shit every fucking time.
win an election and Dem shitheads be like “how will we ever recover from this win”
I’m sure they just need to 10X the islamophobic ads and antisemitism slander and they will win. It just wasn’t enough money in the primary
gillibrand is an incorrigible racist
I think Cuomo has come out and said he will not be running as an independent come time for the election. He could always change his mind I guess.
He’s running
Lol yeah I was proven wrong pretty fast.
In b4 he runs as a republican
At least he’s cleared the lowest bar of respectability possible.
I think that bar is not being a sex pest
I thought that bar was never having committed a genocide and/or not out-Hitlering
but most politicians don’t clear that oneOof
