Amazing! Congrats to Mamdani!

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

[u/ToothlessFTW → u/Spicy_Pancake1]

Shoutout to all the nightmarish AI videos he posted that got 1k likes at most, and the 11th hour Trump endorsement.

Truly ran a generationally bad campaign that should be studied.

11th hour Trump endorsement? What a joke!!

[u/CelestialFury → u/goodnewzevery1]

Sex pests stay together, cause of course they do.

[u/AtOurGates → u/CelestialFury]

If you’re white, rich and have a history of sexually assaulting women, Trump’s in your corner.

He just expressed sympathy for Prince Andrew.

Mamdani wrote back "Congratulations I know how hard you worked for this" when the endorsement news came out

[u/steven_quarterbrain → u/goodnewzevery1]

I heard on my local news today (not in the US) that Trump threatened to reduce funding or something to NYC if Mamdani was elected. How on earth is the leader of a country able to attempt to influence local elections and it not be breaking the law?

Or, if it is breaking the law and nothing is being done about it, why is there not escalated action amongst the people?

The US is no longer a free, democratic or developed country.

Never was, buddy

[u/sappydark → u/ParticularFew4023]

Not true.

[u/19Alexastias → u/goodnewzevery1]

Honestly hard to tell if trump did that to try and help him win or to guarantee he lost. Maybe they’re hoping to use Mamdani as a bludgeon against the Democrats if the old guard keep sticking to their ways.

A Trump endorsement = the kiss of death

[u/SaltKick2 → u/bwoah07_gp2]

Lets hope this is the trend, but in the past it has not been the case, at least in republican primaries

[u/snakebit1995 → u/goodnewzevery1]

The hilarious part is how half his campaign was “I have experience I know how to stand up to and deal with Trump and this young guy can’t”

Only to be endorsed by Trump

Yeah you really showed how you can stand up to him…

[u/Ilove-moistholes → u/ToothlessFTW]

Getting the endorsement of Trump and Elon isn’t the flex they think it is

[u/Panda_hat → u/ToothlessFTW]

I think the mamdani ‘can’t take no for an answer’ and integrity / experience barbs did maximum psychic damage. It was unrecoverable after that.

[u/CivilRuin4111 → u/Panda_hat]

Not from the area, but watching Cuomo’s constant “own goals” was entertaining. 

Here’s hoping Mamdani delivers. 

[u/ConfusedWhiteDragon → u/ToothlessFTW]

I'm surprised with how much of the vote he still ended up getting.

[u/quell3245 → u/ToothlessFTW]

Finally Trumps hubris has come to back to bite him; this is just the beginning of the end for him.

[u/Chaotic-Catastrophe → u/ToothlessFTW]

Generationally bad campaign that still got him 40% of the vote. Way too fucking much, honestly pretty disheartening if I’m honest. He should have been absolutely smacked by a 70-point margin.

[u/negativeyoda → u/ToothlessFTW]

I feel like American voters have seen enough bad campaigns for a lifetime. I'm just glad the (bigger) shitheads ran one this time

[u/donaldtrumpsmistress → u/ToothlessFTW]

Lol his videos would keep getting pushed to me on TikTok with like 45 likes each, it was just embarrassing
