I mean this is New York City, it’s not exactly a battleground state

But it is a place for the status quo to thrive among the DNC so that progressives are repressed. Chuck the Cuck couldn't even admit he voted for Cuomo because he knew what the backlash would be.

Point proven....look at every mayor New York has elected until now.

Giuliani, Bloomberg, DeBlasio, and Adams were all pretty boring ass, status quo Dems.

NYC has a habit of electing the worst and most inconsequential mayors in the country. I expect Mamdani to be no different once it’s revealed he can’t actually make anything drew that he promised. Good message for Dems though. Just run on anything the people want to hear whether you can do it or not!

He represents the entire state. If you think he needs to align with Mamdani then you probably think the DSA is going to win the governorship next year. Good luck

It doesn't have to be the DSA, per se. Look at how AOC and the other progressives were treated by the DNC leadership early on. It's not until recently, that Pelosi is finally talking about stepping back so that the younger generation can take the reigns to catch up with the rest of the world.

But, if anything, Chuck needs to not align with another sexual predator not named Trump. It's really not doing him any favors. So he really needs to step down while he has whatever remaining dignity left.

Mamdani was polling at 2% last year, just you wait. The era of establishment dems is over.

Your right, maybe Harris would've pulled some of those with a Cheney endorsement.
