Wish the DNC would take notes. Since, you know, the future of the republic is at stake.
They are, it’s in their notebook for things to fight against.
I remember some saying that the Democrats only exist to foil progressive candidates.
It really does seem like I’ve heard more shots taken at Mamdani than Trump…
Chuck and Hakeem’s AIPAC checks are much more important than “the future of the republic”. Their cocktail party budget has exploded over the last 2 years!
You guys just need to pick yourself up by your bootstraps and get a well paying gig as controlled opposition.
In a Fox News poll released Thursday, Mamdani received 52 percent from likely voters, followed by Cuomo with 28 percent and Sliwa with 14 percent. Among registered voters, Mamdani dipped slightly to 49 percent while Cuomo held at 28 percent and Sliwa got 13 percent. The poll surveyed 1,003 New York City registered voters from October 10 to October 14.
Almost double his closest rival.
The debate last night was a fucking slam dunk for him and New Yorkers….if they elect him and I hope they do.
I suspect Cuomo is going to get 3rd place. Curtis Sliwa is at least a kind of funny, classic New Yawk guy. Cuomo just sucks.
Would be very funny, but New York is a Democratic stronghold. It’s very unlikely that Sliwa will gain much if any support he doesn’t already have.
Damn those numbers on Adams are abysmal even for a dropout. He should consider moving somewhere else after his term ends. Maybe he can room with Giuliani in exile for NYC mayors who are despised by their own city.
Please ffs stay safe dude. I’m so fucking worried about him.
I am really concerned Trump is going to do a mafia style hit on him
dems are collaborating with the gop since its inception lol

Good for Mamdani.
Am I right that this is at least in part attributable to ranked choice voting?
Yes, but only because the ranked choice voting in the Democratic primary likely gave some voters/organizers/donaters confidence to back a longshot candidate like Mamdani, which eventually snowballed into a plurality win in the first round of the primary, a majority win after ranked choice took effect, and a polling lead in the first past the post general election. Still a success story, I’d say, but not a direct and unquestionable cause/effect chain
This is exactly it. This is why ranked choice voting is so important as a tool to help break the two-party duopoly. Proportional representation being the next step.
The general election isn’t ranked choice.
More of this.
Fox news🙄
Interestingly enough, their polling has been accurate. Credibility in other areas… not so much.
They have a news side and an entertainment side to their business. The primetime Nazi shows are all on the entertainment side so when they get sued they just say “we’re not news, we’re entertainment we don’t need to adhere to reality! It’s actually your fault for believing us!” Their polling comes from the other side.
I still look back fondly of the time Obama beat Romney and the Fox News entertainers (Karl Rove and Megan Kelly) just couldn’t believe it, so they marched down to the polling office to demand answers
ROFL their “News” side (even local) is just as bad, just more coy about it. In this case, they gain nothing from fudging the numbers.
In fact, it is a way to attack the old guard Democrats who hate the young brown guy.
Fox News as live news is thrash, but Fox News’ online page is surprisingly good. But it has been years since I went to their website.
Easier to design propaganda when you understand what the people you want to propagandize think
