    Hmm… Mamdani has the support of the guy who said something nasty about 9/11.

    On the other hand Cuomo has the support of the guy who has insulted the memory of every victim and survivor of 9/11 more times than we can count.

    Tough choice.

      One candidate is enthusiastic, smiles and is cognitive and aware of actual issues and the priorities that go into being a mayor of such a huge and influential city and has been on his feet every day and night meeting and talking to residents.

      The other looks and talks like a stereotypical villain, is reclusive, always dour and angry and confused sounding, seems unsure of even his own surroundings and can’t do anything but spout negativity and scorn towards anyone and everyone else, and whenever backed into a corner starts screaming about race and ethnicity like some kind of holy-water charm against accountability and logic. And has Donald Trump’s backing, as well as Trump’s history with sexual scandal.

      And of course the third option is a crazy cat guy who just wants to talk about the subway every chance he gets. I kinda like him though and hope he stays around in some unofficial capacity like, I would love to see him learn ASL and become Mamdani’s official translator for press events.

      Cuomo has the support of the guy who, less than a full day after the attack, was in an interview gloating about how he was so happy that he had the tallest building in Manhattan now.
