    The issue isn’t that new yorkers go on a 5 minute walk to the voting both.

    Its that Mamdani enjoyers have demanded complete subservience to their idea of reforming the democratic party and are actively wrecking leftist spaces. He actually wastes a lotta people’s time, money, motivation and revolutionary potential for his doomed campaign.

      Problem is he’s gonna win, which means DSA types are going to try replicating this in places where there’s someone less disgusting than Cuomo to run against and then waste a bunch of goodwill, burnout thousands of volunteers, etc.

      I hope I’m wrong and Zohran gets in, immediately flips off Zionists across the city, and proceeds to be based af. But seeing him do the politician thing of trying to please everybody isn’t giving me hope. If I was running for something I would WANT to piss off certain groups! You need to pick a base and stick with it, otherwise you have nothing to stand on!
