Tuesday’s results leave Republicans reeling as Democrats consolidated power in governors’ offices, state courts, attorney general seats, and city halls, reshaping political dynamics in three key states ahead of the midterms and the 2028 election. The outcome also represents a major defeat for President Donald Trump, who worked frantically to rally support for Republicans and even issued threats in an attempt to defeat Mamdani.
That’s one step closer to releasing the proof that the President of the United States of America is a pedophile.
There’s already proof, its disgusting to read too. People should be posting the transcripts of his victims testimony.
Not just a pedophile. He was a fundamental cog in the trafficking of children.
We know he’s a pedo. What we want is the list of his coconspirators so they can all be prosecuted.
You’re still unsure?
You can know something without being able to prove it
-Every dirty cop ever just being racist
We can prove Trump’s a pedo, the Republicans just don’t care
?
We have our first Sikh Mayor in Connecticut! Many Red towns flipped blue, some for the first time in 70 years!
That’s nice. Now govern them in a way to KEEP them blue…
That’s the devil in the details.
K
Idk why people are getting mad at ripcord agreeing to find a way, that’s very big of them to take on this responsibility
Who wants to lay odds that the orange Russian cum rag is about to scream about deploying troops to “quell dangerous and violent domestic terrorism”?
They’re strong to the weak and weak to the strong
This was a huge show of strength. This is going to make the infighting absolutely explode, they’ll be busy for a while
CONGRATULATIONS, DEMOCRATIC VOTERS
Winning office is one of those must-have requirements to getting shit done. Let’s goooooooooooo
I hope this helps the fight against fascism. It certainly can’t hurt. I imagine the Nazis will now declare martial law or send troops into NYC
Hope is dangerous
'Murica has let me down too many times before
And the real problem is the Tangerine Toddler fomenting riots so that he can declare martial law, suspend all elections and declare himself as Supreme Leader
Who gives a fuck if Donnie tantrums. He was going to tantrum anyway so enjoy the win and keep the momentum going. They expect us not to fight back and we just did.
Hope is the unbreakable human spirit manifested. It is not dangerous. The fascists are dangerous whether we have hope or not.
Hope is dangerous, but only for the Fascists.
Hope is what inspires resistance. Without it, why bother trying?
a ton of people who commit suicide fullheartedly agree with you.
Yeah… That’s not what I’m talking about at all
You’re not wrong. It’s uplifting news, but it’s a turning point at best. The USA really need to keep that momentum going. There is still a long road ahead.
It’s been a long time between drinks.
I’m so fucking tired of being right with my political predictions
I predicted Trump’s first and second elections. Brexit, Scott Morrison in Oz a few years ago, Luxon in NZ, the shitty situation in Argentina, Meloni in Italy etc.
Sure, I was right about some good stuff too, but I’ve been more right about awful things and I want to be wrong when I know that some cunt is going to cause harm.
So, tell us, dear FistingEnthusiast oracle, what’s next for the US?
I really want to be wrong
Trump keeps the government shut down. He keeps sending ICE to do shitty things. He keeps withholding SNAP, and eventually people start to get desperate and riot
He doubles down
Riots get worse, until he declares martial law. Elections are suspended. He refuses to step down as president. Due to his nature and dementia, he tries ruling as a king, where his whim is law
I’m not sure how long it lasts before something breaks, but the damage will be immense. And the worst thing is that I don’t think the US will change significantly afterwards. It’ll remain somewhere where cruelty, selfishness etc. is celebrated
You’re worrying about something that he’s planning to do regardless. Quit fear mongering yourself. Placating to fascists is what puts in much worse position.
Oh,
I’m lucky
I live in a civilised country
I watch the descent of 'Murica from a safe distance
I dunno. Voting is a fantastic experience. Telling people they can’t do it because reasons seems like - i know, i know, but it seems like even the white rural gun loving temporarily-embarassed-millionaires would have a big problem with that.
The backwards morons who like Trump only value voting when it suits them
If they think there’s a chance that their orange messiah will be voted out, they will happily go along with voting being stopped
They’re also very keen on voting rights being ceased for anyone other than themselves
Yeah i dunno. Maybe.
I have friends everywhere
To strong politics.
It’s worse than that:
He can legally remove-citizenship from anybody, now, & no court-injunction has any power on him, or his appointees I read ( that was bundled-into his big “beautiful” bill, apparently )
All he has to do is create “justification” for declaring the Democratic party to be terrorists, denaturalize all of 'em, & then there ARE no non-Republican judges left, legal, in the country…
Nobody to appeal to: your accuser is the Republicans, & your judge will also be Republican.
Dig-in, people, hire private-investigators ( or get books on it, & books on journalism, & books on building a legal case, & get competent, pronto, if you can’t afford to hire help ) to get the evidence required against the electorate who’ve been breaking the law ( insider-trading, e.g. ), & GET leverage, before there’s none left…
The assuming victory habit that the Dems have used to “protect” themselves, thus-far ( like how their assuming protected Harris’s victory, while they sat at home, smug ), has cost too-much leverage, thus-far.
Just recently it gave Trump’s buddy Millei another term, in Argentina…
Get pragmatic, dig-in, unearth & earn owning-of, all remaining available leverage, & use it while you can…
They’re literally replicating nazi Germany’s ever-escalating progression, & the nazis using legalism to dismantle rule-of-constitution, & the US’s “night of long knives” will come, sooner-or-later…
it’s only a matter of when, now…
_ /\ _
He can legally remove-citizenship from anybody, now, & no court-injunction has any power on him, or his appointees I read ( that was bundled-into his big “beautiful” bill, apparently )
No, he can’t. Not even Congress can change the Constitution without an amendment. Trump can “try” to make the claim that he can do this, but the courts will stop him.
I get that things seem bleak, but you can blame that on the media for not adequately covering all his losses in court. He has been blocked on almost everything that he’s been trying to do. What he has been able to get away with, is a vastly toned-down version of what he wanted to do…and he seems unwilling to push the envelope too far. Which means he knows he won’t actually get away with it.
Most of his “power”, comes from lying to you about what he can and can’t do. Don’t give him too much credit.
Its also, little solace as it may be, against international law for a country to denaturalize any of its born citizens and leave them stateless
The USA seems to go out of its way to break international law every chance it gets like it’s trying to get a high score
And has the loses in court stopped them? The courts have no enforcement arm.
It actually has stopped a lot of what they’ve been trying to do. They’ve been getting spanked in court, and it’s actually pretty entertaining watching how incompetent they all are.
They’re strong to the weak and weak to the strong
And they just showed a lot of weakness. They’re going to fall to infighting for a while… Every MAGA member of Congress just watched their chances of reelection evaporate
The elections weren’t rigged or suspended. No amount of money made a difference. A bajillion endorsements and backroom deals barely moved the needle
You sure are fond of commas and ampersands
Wish you were wrong, but I agree completely
I’m not overly elated.
Mamdani barely squeaked past Cuomo, who had to resign his last job because of sexual harassments, and Curtis Sliwa, who never actually had a job.
However, I will give Sliwa his due; he was one of the very, very few GOPs who called out Trump for pardoning George Santos.
“squeaked” past? STFU, moron.
How is winning by near 9 points against two opponents, one of which is ostensibly in your own party, “barely squeaked past”.
It was decisive.
Mamdani barely squeaked past Cuomo
The count sits at 50% Mamdani, 41% Cuomo. In what universe is that “barely squeaked past”?
Most people don’t politic.
Maybe that’s the problem.
Maybe him saying “barely” is hyperbole, but a candidate as good as Mandami only being 9 points ahead of an openly corrupt rapist without official support from a party in New York of all places doesn’t fill me with hope going forward.
9 points is a ton. That’s the kind of margin you get gerrymandering a district to hell. That means you won the election, and very probably the next one too
Red and blue states are the color they are by like a 5 point tilt in either direction
This was a fight between two Democratic candidates - this was the neo-liberal uniparty vs progressives
9 points is very, very meaningful in this context
He is a muslim democratic socialist that was unkown a year ago. You don’t realize how much people fear islam taking control or socialism to take control. 8% lead is really impressive
Something something New York terrorism
Yeah that’s kind of my point, some 40% of people in New York would still rather vote for the rapist because racism against Muslims and socialism fearmongering
It is more complex than that. The usa is a very individualistic country. People think mostly about themselves before others. So in many of the people who voted for Cuomo they said I would rather vote for a sex offender then a muslim who will implement sharia law and make their lives unlivable which is of course a rediculous thing to think about
I also though your point was that Mamdani winning by 8% is not imperessive
In 2013, the winner got 73% of the vote
In 2017, 66%
In 2021, 67%.
50% isn’t impressive.
In those other races, was there a third party candidate running against the Democrat after losing the Democratic primary?
Because obviously Cuomo split that vote this time.
Yes, the molester got a lot of votes.
That’s the thing people have to comprehend.
A guy with a sex scandal got more votes than the last Mayor.
A guy with a sex scandal got more votes than the last Mayor.
The last mayor dropped out, and also has a sex scandal
NY politics is fucking weird. This is an excellent result.
This is my take. Personally, I am happy Mamdani won.
And I can see that people want to celebrate.
But the cold facts are that, in the middle of a shut down, with the President in a state of obvious dementia, a Left candidate in the Bluest city in the nation barely squeaked past a known molester.
Here’s why I still think of it as a win: It’s not just the contest between two people, or their ideas, or their backgrounds. What you really have to look at is the contest between the propaganda and the budgets. The simple fact is that a lot of voters aren’t that involved, they vote based on word of mouth or advertising, not by looking into the backgrounds of those they’re voting for.
Cuomo outspent Mamdani 4 to 1. Billionaires and politicians went all out to attack Mamdani. Many painted apocalyptic pictures. If you look at those more distant contests, where someone won by a wider margin, I would bet that the advertising and endorsements weren’t so lopsided either.
This isn’t a win for Democrats or Mamdani, this is a win for word of mouth campaigning. This is a win for people being so sick of what’s on offer that many ignored the dire warnings of billionaires and politicians. That’s some good news I can get behind.
Dunno what you expected, but obviously there was going to be people who voted for him.
And the last mayor is Eric Adams. Not really a surprise that people didn’t want to vote for him. Dude is literally a cop.
Look up some New York politics.
Giuliani literally let the cops riot and he won twice.
People didn’t want to vote for Adams because he got arrested. He won the first time pretty handily.
Things have changed a lot since Giuliani won. That was like 25 years ago dude
Comparing those races to this one… Adams won last cycle with 753k votes. Cuomo lost with 854k. Mamdani has over a million votes. It’s not even close to comparable.
So, the molester got more votes than the last Mayor?
Yes, by siphoning 200k from the republican. And the millions of dollars pumped into this election. And the name recognition of a Cuomo. Like, yeah it’s not great, but it is objectively good. Even with that crazy vote total, it wasn’t enough to stop the left populist. Which is all we need to show the national party. Left populism is popular and will continue making wins if you then deliver the goods (the step that corpo dems hate)
How many people running?
Whoever was running hadn’t had to resign their last job because of a sex scandal.
Are we already starting the bullshit where we can’t celebrate and be happy for one goddamn day??
Not me. WHOOT!
Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
You can celebrate all you want, but don’t pretend that the road ahead is going to be a cake walk.
Celebrating a win =/= assuming the future is a cakewalk.
That is some strong Schumer energy you have going on.
Schumer is the guy who is keeping the line firm on the shutdown.
It’s funny. You want me to act excited because of a small c=victory, then refuse to give credit to Schumer for a big win.
Schumer is the one who kept a shutdown from happening in the spring.
“While the CR bill is very bad, the potential for a shutdown has consequences for America that are much, much worse,” Schumer said in a speech on the Senate floor.
Schumer’s speech on Thursday marks a sharp pivot form one he gave just the day before in which he indicated that Democrats are ready to reject the current stopgap bill from the House GOP, noting that Republicans in the Senate “do not have the votes.” He added that his party wants a different approach – a CR through April 11 that would keep the lights on for now and allow more time for Congress to work out a larger spending bill for the fiscal year.
Fuck Schumer.
So he waited until just before the holiday season.
Looks like he picked his moment.
I’m 13 and this is deep!
10% is squeaking past? Like I would have liked more but against all the media mis/disinformation I’d say is pretty decent.
It’s not 10%, it’s more like 3%. And Cuomo lost his last gig after being outed as a sex pervert.
I’m happy Mamdani won, but don’t act like there was a massive Progressive wave.
He barely won against a weak field.

It was +9 points with 91% of the vote counted as of this post. You’re having to make up numbers to argue your point.
Ignoring Sliwa? That’s okay, pretty much everybody in the city did.
Are you suggesting Sliwa and Cuomo could’ve shared the office?
You take Mandani’s number and subtract the second place winner. That’s how it works.
No, don’t believe libleft fake news! 😭😭
