The article argues against supporting Andrew Cuomo in the New York City mayoral election, advocating instead for progressive candidate Zohran Mamdani. It criticizes Cuomo's legacy, including his alleged corruption and misogynistic behavior, alongside his past political actions that hindered progressive reforms. The piece contends that the argument for a "long game" approach to politics, favoring Cuomo over Mamdani, is misguided and detrimental to the Democratic Party. Voters are portrayed as desiring principled, progressive candidates who genuinely oppose right-wing politics, contrasting with Cuomo's establishment alignment.
The "long game" is a losing one, and it is remarkable how many times the Democratic Party needs to learn this lesson.
Ranking Cuomo is to reward a legacy centrist for his corruption and to ignore his misogynistic personal life.
People crave politicians who promise programmatically, not just rhetorically, to oppose the right.
The establishment Dems making this case seem to have zero awareness of how toxic Cuomo is as an individual.
