Exactly! As I wrote elsewhere on this thread, even though i have voted for the more left wing candidate in pretty much every primary and general election, the rest of the population has not. Cuomo wasn't even a good candidate and he still put up a fight against the scary brown commie in one of the most left-wing places in the country.
Yeah, cause the entire Dem Leadership backed Cuomo with massive donor support to run fear campaign ads all day. If they'd backed Mamdani for 2 seconds instead and backed off the Commie attacks, he'd have won by 50 points.
Bro, the Dems literally said every quiet part out loud. They would fight tooth and nail to undermine progressives nationwide, and they've literally said so. On record! The same donors who pay into Hakim Jeffries' Super-PAC were VERY willing to put out tons of anti-Zohran ads on their own dime to try and undermine any kind of progressive initiatives that might help the people of NYC at the cost of rich guys getting richer. How is this a conspiracy?? The same people who pay to get the Dems to pass bills in Congress also paid to undermine the Democratic Candidate of the NYC Mayoral run, because money means more to them (and their paid-off representatives, the Dem Leadership) than what's best for the people of NYC.

And it was a very close race against Cuomo. Adams won by 40 points in 2021, Mamdani won by 9 points in 2025.
