The White House is being accused of doctoring the arrest photo of a Minneapolis protester by using artificial intelligence to alter her face.

    His primary opponent was Andrew Cuomo in NYC and he still was barely over fifty percent of the people who bothered to vote.

      Oh look, you got it!

      Voter apathy <> “the left”.

          Please, explain how the largest turnout in decades represents how “the left” doesnt vote.

          Just give me a minute to make some popcorn so I can fully enjoy this.

            Most of them probably thought Mamdani wasn’t as left as their buddy’s roommate’s drug dealer so he wasn’t worth voting for.

              Sorry, how does that explain a 20 year record turnout, or the highest number of votes for a single candidate since the 1960s?

              Youre going to have to break this down a little bit more here, clearly I still dont get it.

                Liberals voted Mamdani to counter the republicans voting Cuomo.

                  Previous election results show that liberals and more moderate conservatives voted for Cuomo, actually, considering Silwa’s 20% slide.

                  So sorry, it seems I’m still not getting “it”.

                    It feels like we’re saying the same thing here.
