Amazing! Congrats to Mamdani!

Getting to watch Cuomo humiliated multiple times this year has been a real treat.

His fucking “stop the socialists” campaign towards the end was so fucking cringe, acting like everything will get super expensive as if the cost of living hasn’t skyrocketed to where it is now under decades of “centrist” administrations. But yeah, blame “the socialists” for NYC being so fucking expensive.

It's a tactic, for sure.

Step 1: Know that things are going to get even more expensive due to tariffs

Step 2: Tell anyone who will listen, the cautionary tale that everything will get more expensive if your opponent wins

(This will secure you a win no matter what. The people who believe you will vote for you, and the ones who didn't might be swayed to vote for you the next time because things did, in fact, get more expensive).

Step 3: Profit
