    This makes no sense. The vote was blue vs blue, and the guy defending him and people who aren’t sure about him are blue.

    You can’t vote or be for against anything but blue in the primary for a democrat.

    Unless of course you are just saying no one should have voted for the candidate that you seem to want in?

      pretty sure this is about the general election, after the primary, thus it’s blue against red (or blue against blue against red since apparently cuomo is deciding not to take the hint)

      im also maybe seeing that schumer was saying some stuff positive about mamdami but just didn’t endorse him?

      i don’t have the time to figure out all that nuance before i send this reply so for now i’ll leave it as a question mark and encourage investigation into trusted sources

          I agree that Silwa wouldn’t normally win, but if you have centrists voting for Cuomo and Adams, some centrists and left of that voting for Mamdani, the 300,000+ voters out of a million that voted for Silwa last election may come closer than one would expect.

          Hopefully it’ll be 40% Mamdani, 20, 20, 20. But if it appears close I can see Cuomo or Adams "endorsing the other and dropping hoping to get a chance
