Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani holds a 10 point lead over Andrew Cuomo in New York City’s general election for mayor, while incumbent Mayor Eric Adams trails in fourth place behind Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa, according to a new poll.
Mamdani gets support from 35 percent of registered voters, followed by Cuomo with 25, Sliwa with 14, Adams at 11 and attorney Jim Walden at 1 percent. Thirteen percent of respondents said they weren’t sure, while 1 percent picked another candidate.
Time to fall the f in line.
What was that phrase, again? Oh yeah: “VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO.”
YES!
Is this race a majority or plurality wins?
FPtP, so highest vote getter.

Plurality.
I’m expecting the dumbass voters to sit it out again in view of the expected landslide (or maybe another outrage happening across the world) and let the candidate with the convicted past into office. Again.
This time the Democrats have an actual flesh and blood candidate who actually stands for something. If he wins, will that alter your perspective at all?
American voters suck, just like they have always sucked, just like voters suck everyplace else. That’s the field in which the game is played.
Being the lesser of two evils is not a good strategy. The greater evil gets all the attention and therefore enthusiasm. Good vs evil is a whole different dynamic.
He brought out the youth vote in droves. That’s a rare thing.
Don’t mess with the Zohran!
Zohran The Destroyer (of class inequality, oligarchy).
I really hope he’s got independent security. Because New York’s biggest gang has already started making threats.
Vote NYC, vote!
I hate that I’m already depressed about what they’re going to do to him or NYC in general…
I know nothing has happened yet and the election isn’t until November, but there isn’t a single goddamn thing about this country, especially with the so called leader we have now, that makes me think they will simply allow him to become Mayor. Socialists, Democratic socialists, whatever, simply aren’t allowed to hold real positions of power. The entire system is freaking out over the prospect… A single seat in Congress isn’t worth causing a mess over, but running “the financial center of the world” and a city that contains the richest people on earth definitely is to them…
Ether Trump takes over NYC like he’s already threatened, they deport him, or the Democrats commit political suicide and get caught sabotaging his election. I have 0 faith that he simply wins and gets to be Mayor.
It looks bleak. I try to remember that general despair and lack of faith in elections is exactly the aim of many propagandists, and that apathy only serves the aims of those who would destroy us.
It’s hard sometimes because of the difficult past the US has had. Anyone trying to undermine America often need not even lie, but they do need to convince you that it’s hopeless, and that change is impossible. I see no reason to oblige them.
I think the issue is a single congressperson can’t show people that it works. A mayor can, and that’s their biggest fear. If people learn how good it is for them they may actually start supporting it, instead of being scared like they’ve been told to believe by the wealthy who control the media.
I like Mamdani. I rather the Democratic party finish their demise and bring forth 100 Mamdanis.
Trump can’t take NYC. Even a military/ICE takeover is off the table. Even with a 20x increase in the ICE budget. There are just too many people and not enough random masked ICE “agents”.
Just like with tariff negotiations, Trump thinks he has all the cards when he doesn’t. He wants you to think he does, though. Fascism is always weaker than it looks.
As long as he can claim some “legal” justification for it like claiming Mamdani is a communist and therefore this is an insurrection/takeover of a city that needs to be defended or declare some kind of emergency (that the courts never seem to argue. Energy emergency as we cut methods of gaining energy for example) then I think people will mostly roll over and accept it, since it’s “legal.”
It has nothing to do with legal issues. There is no practical way to impose martial law on NYC. The US military and ICE together are not big enough.
They’ll let him be Mayor. They won’t let him do anything, though.
All of a sudden the city council decides they need curb the power of the mayoral office.

There is going to be a LOT of Republican fuckery. I hope he’s up for a fight.
I think you mean Democrat fuckery. The Republicans already said they want to deport him to his face.
Republican don’t have fuckery they just say what evil thing they are gonna do then go ahead and set it in motion all on Twitter for everyone to see.
Democrats run a primary to pick the candidate to run then when it’s not the guy they want behind closed doors they start the fuckery in secret.
Mamdani isn’t committing fuckery, how dare you?
…what? Who is this in response to?
Jimmycakes is accusing Democrats of fuckery but I think Zohan is a going to be a great mayor. He’s the DNC Candidate on the ballots.
…yeah? Democrat fuckery, as in the DNC and Cuomo. No one here is accusing Mamdani of anything.
Cuomo is a third party. The Democrats have put forth Mamdani on their ticket.

Cuomo isn’t on the Democrat ticket, he lost the primary to Mamdani. If Cuomo runs then he’s third party and it should be “Third Party Fuckery” or “Independent Fuckery”.
There’s going to be a lot of rat fucking on BOTH sides. He isn’t any more popular with establishment Dems than he is with Republicans.
I think it’s great that people like David Hogg and Mamdani are scaring the Trad Dems into exposing their true nature.
In NYC? This is heavy (D) turf. Blue municipality. Blue state. Overwhelmingly Blue House Delegation. Two Blue Senators. Most of the legislature from the area is DSA, ffs.
Trump might make noise, but the tip of the spear is going to have to come from the establishment Democratic Party, at least until the election is over. If anything, Trump wants Zohran to win the general, so that he can pull the institutional Dems in next to him when he announces his plan to take over the city, like he’s done with LA.
13% undecided? I’m not holding my breath. The fascists and the faithless Democrats are gonna do whatever it takes to tank him.
NYC get out and knock on some doors!!!
It’ll be really telling if Silwa drops out to support Cuomo
deleted by creator
Adams will quit and endorse Cuomo last min 99.9% sure, Silwa> 50% IMO.
So I think it’s a toss up at best.
deleted by creator
they will all fold to cuomo.

I have been told to Vote Blue No Matter Who and I am a loyal democrat. Zohran has my vote.
Who the fuck would vote for Adams at this point?
Or Cuomo.
deleted by creator
It’s so funny to see institutional democrats turning on Zohran and institutional republicans turning on Silwa.
Democracy means absolutely nothing to these people.
Nothing has exposed the hypocrisy of the Establishment Democrats than David Hogg getting into the DNC, and Zohran crushing the Chosen Democrat in the primary.
The Tea Party had to take control of the Republican Party before it could evolve into MAGA, and the Progressives are going to have to take over the Democratic Party before they can establish a true Constitutional government.
