I still don't understand how this is supposed to work even in principle. Clearly the sort of people who voted in the primary prefer Mamdani by a wide margin. Is Cuomo expecting to be elected by people who didn't care enough to vote in the primary but do care enough to vote for him despite the fact that he's not the Democratic candidate? Does he think that there are more people like that than there are people who voted for him in the primary but will vote for Mamdani in the general election?

He’s there to ensure that true left policies are strangled in the crib.

nyc primaries have terrible voter turnout, somewhere between 20-30% of registered dem voters in the city. Mamdani did get a record number of voters out to the polls but Cuomo’s camp is thinking they can reinvigorate the other 70% of dems who sat this primary out. So yes, Cuomo is banking on this but I hope his highly paid pol consultants are very wrong.

You could be right. Corbyn in the UK had a HUGE swell of support with record numbers of people joining the Labour Party just before its leadership election just to vote for him. Didn't translate to votes when the general election came around.

Thanks to a concerted media campaign against him, involving a lot of people from the labour party that wanted to ensure Neoliberalism to continue uninterruptedly. The parallels are remarkably close.

Corbyn won more votes than Kier Starmer did. It was the complete collapse of the Tory vote that let Starmer win a landslide.

Yes, but party leadership prefers the sex pest cuomo or the corrupt adams or even the dipshit fascist sliwa to any progressive.

He's expecting to get donations. That's it.
