Cuomo is basically saying that the republicans will use mamdani as a scare tactic in other elections, like they’ll try and associate any Democratic candidate with him.
Which, he’s not wrong, they will bring him up constantly as a fear monger tactic, but, like, anyone who that works on was already going to vote republican? And the republicans have already been fear mongering about democrats being socialists and muslims regardless? Like, they did that to fucking Obama despite both accusations being categorically and obviously wrong? So like, it doesn’t really change anything.
Unlike the effect of electing a disgraced wealthy sexual sleeze or a disgraced corrupt cop. Yeah, the Muslim guy trying to make too many things free is really the outcome the Democrats should worry about being associated with.
If centrists had a Bland McBlanderson neoliberal in the race they could make this argument, but by some coincidence both of their avatars are toxic and since they worship pre-existing power structures they were unable to challenge them. I’m starting to think maybe it’s not progressives who are causing the image problem for the Democrats.
