These old ass corrupt politicians just cling to power like malignant cancer. Go do something else you goblin

"Vote for me or you'll be in danger!"

"In danger from who?"

"From me if you don't vote for me!"

Fucking mob boss wannabe.

"Vote for me or my best buddy Donald Trump will be super mad. Sex predator bros for life!"

Cuomo probably.

[–] ABetterTomorrow@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 hours ago

Why are these people always pointing the finger at themselves

[–] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 27 points 14 hours ago

Cuomo says, "If you don't vote for me, Trump and the corporate oligarchy will exact revenge, because I'm a little bitch baby bought and paid for by the oligarchs." Fuck that noise. To anyone in NYC that wants to vote for Mamdani, don't be intimidated. If you want to vote for Cuomo, I don't have anything nice to say to you. DO NOT BOW TO FASCISTS!

[–] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 17 points 15 hours ago

Don’t let Cuomo anywhere near power again.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 33 points 17 hours ago

Pretty sure that the guy who Donald wants to win, winning, would be the gift for Donald. Not the guy he doesn't want to win...

Time to pull this old gem out:

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

Cuomo isn't even the democratic nominee! Mamdani is!

[–] chilldrivenspade@lemmy.world 15 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

cuomo and eric adams are the gifts to trump

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

If someone is not voting for Mamdani, they should vote for Adams! (They should vote for Mamdani)

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 10 points 16 hours ago

Guess we do negotiate with terrorists.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 18 hours ago

My guy, Trump is supporting YOU in this race for a reason.

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 56 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

And why would a Mamdani win be such a threat to Trump, that he felt the need to "take over" NYC? He's basically saying, "Don't vote for him, because Trump wouldn't like it". Or even worse, "Vote for me, and Trump might leave you alone."

“Nice city you got there, be a shame if something happened to it.”

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 16 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Like Trump needs the excuse. He'll do it just because they don't have an (R) next to their name.

This. If Cuomo wins somehow, suddenly Trump will go around talking about how he's a leftist agitator and send troops in anyway.

[–] rafoix@lemmy.zip 80 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Cuomo is a gift for women that want to be sexually harassed and for old people that want to die.

and for workers who want to lose their jobs, and for tenants who want to be unable to pay their rent

I love how pathetic that makes him look.

I assume Lemmy cares passionately about the ladies of The View "interviewing" a grandma-killer/sexual harasser

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

ABC is owned by Disney, which means all the ladies of The View are Disney princesses CMV

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

They are all corporatists that bow before Mickey. Even Sunny, who is the most left winged of them all.

[–] nosuchanon@lemmy.world 24 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

True Democrat just means neoliberal corporatist. They only care about money and the appearance of giving a shit about people.

[–] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 3 points 18 hours ago

Im listening to the Last Podcast on the Left's new series on Himmler and they were just talking about how the Nazis used this same tactic to win over the German people. They labeled themselves as 'Socialists' and used leftist rhetoric to gain power despite being anything but. I think we all know how that turned out and I can't help but draw parallels after seeing how often the Democratic party claims they're seemingly always 'powerless' to improve anything while continually capitulating to every Republican demand.

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 30 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Cuomo said the race is down to a democratic socialist in Mamdani and himself, a true Democrat. "What's really happening is there's a civil war within the Democratic Party going on, and the Democratic Party is looking for its identity. And there are two factions. You have the democratic socialists, and then you have the Democrats, they have a very extreme view that they're pursuing, which is different than the Democratic Party," Cuomo said Monday on "The View."

Well, he's not wrong about that. But after years of being told to vote for Democrats just because they're not Republicans, and being offered a real alternative that fights for the people, he is wrong about that.

"I learned a lesson, a painful lesson, which is to be much more cautious about everything you say, any joke, any comment," Cuomo said Monday. "I won't kiss a person on the cheek unless they initiate a kiss. So they taught me a lesson, just to be super cautious, because there is a sensitivity that has evolved that is real. If people feel it, it's true, and it has to be respected."

Right, it's all just a big misunderstanding, a joke, can't you take a joke ....

[–] KelvarCherry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 32 points 23 hours ago

"and himself, a true Democrat" uhh, Cuomo, you're running as an independent after losing the Democratic primary. You're opposing the Democrat Party. That's the exact opposite of a Democrat.

ooh he means neoliberal corrupt corporate sellout. Got it.

[–] 20cello@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago

Hahahahahaha,lmao

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

By his own admission, Cuomo sucks at most things.

[–] redsand@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 16 hours ago

That's why he thinks he's perfect. He just has to suck Trump off and make the city fascist so the fascists don't invade.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Appealing to the cowardice of the centrist wing of the party.

[–] TipRing@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

Ah yes, extortion. I hear that works well.

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 18 hours ago

Nice city. Shame if Trump did something to it.
