Cuomo spokesperson Rich Azzopardi said after the primary: "We'll be continuing conversations with people from all across the city while determining next steps. Extremism, division and empty promises are not the answer to this city's problems, and while this was a look at what motivates a slice of our primary electorate, it does not represent the majority."

What a crock of shit. We've had decades of nothing but hypercapitalist extremism and all we've got to show for it is everything getting worse.

Mamdami is a fucking moderate on a sane political spectrum!

Mamdani already did that and it's why he's winning.

Establishment Dems splitting the vote.

Those fucking fuckers. Decades of “eat this big pile of shit because we painted it blue, fall in line, don’t split the vote”

The DNC, which over my life I’ve donated thousands of dollars to support their candidates, can eat my entire ass. Not one fucking cent to those bastards.
