Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a video released Monday that he will run an independent campaign for New York City mayor, weeks after losing the Democratic primary to Zohran Mamdani.
No, we are talking about both. Go re-read the thread for context.
The original comment was comparing the DNC’s behavior at the national level, with a mayoral primary with ranked choice voting in one of the bluest cities in the US.
I’m saying it’s not even close to a 1:1 comparison
DNC normally: “3rd parties don’t function in our two party system, there’s no point in voting for them”
DNC after losing their own primary: 3rd party it is
The DNC would rather have a MAGA win it than Zohran.
A 3rd party won’t be viable in our lifetimes.
Welcome to reality.
“Vote Blue No Matter Who” reverts to “Party Unity My Ass” as soon as centrists don’t get 100% of everything they want.
These “” seem to have fallen from around the word centrists
They have not.
They’re not centrists as much as they want to believe they are. They are firmly conservative.
Conservative and centrist are functionally synonyms at this point.
That part is just reality.
Reality created and enforced by those two parties, especially the DNC.
That’s why they sued to keep De La Cruz off the ballot in swing states.
It’s almost like mayoral politics in one of the most populous cities on the planet is somewhat different than state and federal level politics.
Who knew
Now we’re taking about Democrats and the DNC.
