    This guy is the guy warning you of you falling for it again and what the signs were. Who has been right about almost everything the last two years.

      Falling for what?

      Voting for the most progressive/left/whatever-label candidate that has any reasonable chance in the election? Is that falling for something?

      Obviously the elections are over, with excellent results (nationwide), so all of this bleating is moot

      But

      Does anyone here sincerely believe that Cuomo would be a better Mayor? How many folks really wished Eric Adams the 2nd?

      For sure, if Mamdani falls down and knocks his head and gets Fettermanized, that’s not gonna be cool.

      But to criticize him for doing his best to become a good and capable leader for ALL OF NYC is silly. He’s not suddenly become Bibi’s best friend and I doubt seriously that he’s secretly wearing IDF panties to bed.

      He IS however going to have to work with all of the constituencies in NYC which includes like a literal million Jews. That demographic isn’t going to be uniform in its outlook on the Palestinian genocide, and maybe 10% of them are going to be Hasidic or similar. There is really no benefit to gratuitously pissing any of them off before he even gets started.

      This is just more purity test bullshit
