Remember kids: Vote blue no matter who only applies to progressives.

Want to run a campaign against the duly nominated candidate?

Only if you’re a neoliberal sex pest. Otherwise you want republicans to win.

[-] bjorney@lemmy.ca 48 points 3 weeks ago

For a second I had this confused with the Toronto mayoral election, where the former sex pest mayor is rumored to be considering re-running against the person who supplanted him last election

[-] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 22 points 3 weeks ago

It also reminds me of the incumbent NDP ridings we lost to the cons because liberal voters don't do strategic voting, yet they expect progressives to.

[-] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 29 points 3 weeks ago

Vote progressive, the platform is impressive. The people aren’t oppressive and their art is more expressive - their passion is expressive but the message isn’t agressive.

For the people needs to be accomplished By the people.

The general election won't have ranked choice. Adams and Cuomo may end up splitting the "willing to vote for corrupt dirtbag" ticket and let Mamdani cruise to victory.

We can dream.

[-] solrize@lemmy.ml 68 points 3 weeks ago

I expect one or the other will get pressured/bribed into dropping out.

[-] frezik 22 points 3 weeks ago

Yes, that's probably correct. It'll be late in the race, because both of them are pig headed and want the other one to do it. That will only drag down whomever does end up staying in. It'll be a glorious game of political chicken. I'm ordering all the popcorn now.

DNC normally: "3rd parties don't function in our two party system, there's no point in voting for them"

DNC after losing their own primary: 3rd party it is

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 57 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

"Vote Blue No Matter Who" reverts to "Party Unity My Ass" as soon as centrists don't get 100% of everything they want.

If Mamdani holds out until November, the rest of the country will see that it is possible to vote for a fair shake. If he gets buried, I think voting will be the least of our worries.

[-] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 71 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Fuck Cuomo and honestly fuck the Democratic leadership to and fuck Democrats in general.

Blue no matter who right? You bunch of hypocritical assholes on par with Republicans.

[-] Mammal@lemmy.world 56 points 3 weeks ago

To be fair: The Democratic Party isn't a viable political engine for positive social change or a working-class agenda. If Cuomo wins it will be yet another example of how untrustworthy, hypocritical, and vapid Blue No Matter Who voting habits are.

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 42 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Remember when mods coordinated to ban any criticism of BNMW / Blue Maga from all the major subs during 2024? How they the cultivated a community of briggading, sea-lioning, etc.. to try and suppress any criticism of an approach to politics that was obviously going to hand the country to Trump?

.

[-] PhilipTheBucket@quokk.au 26 points 3 weeks ago

My ass. I wish the mods had banned obviously disingenuous "let's let Trump win to make a point, what's the difference anyway" made-up critique that blamed Kamala Harris for Gaza and inflation, under a tissue-thin pretense of "I just care about the country sooooooooooooooooooooo much that I'm giving well informed constructive criticism." Instead we had to just yell at y'all about it in the comments, which since there were hundreds of posts and comments every single day with that viewpoint was always a losing battle. Even trolling of crayon-quality transparency of the UniversalMonk variety was explicitly allowed by the mods, and people who objected to it too strongly got banned for it.

The whining about how you're not allowed to get your message out, which is constantly broadcasted on every channel where you're claiming you're being silenced, is just part and parcel of the alternate reality you're having a good bit of success in constructing. MAGA does it too, it's part of the package.

Haha I wondered how they would try to stop Mamdani becoming mayor.

[-] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 41 points 2 weeks ago

It's insane to me they would rather split the vote and put one of Trump's puppets in office rather than move their platform slightly left of center.

And after Mamdani hired one of the DNC's consultants to ~~nerf all his policies~~ appeal to the centrists who have thus far refused to endorse him.

It's almost as though the centrist wing of the party does absolutely nothing in good faith and will do everything they can to ratfuck anyone to their left.

So no rallying behind the candidate then, eh?

What a shocker.

The Democratic Party WILL rig the general election. Hell, they’ll probably work with Republicans to get their candidate in over Mamdani.

Who owns the machines? Is the software audited? Are there tabulation servers involved?

[-] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 32 points 3 weeks ago

I don't know if they'll rig the actual vote directly but the DNC will most certainly spend hundreds of millions to make him look like the devil incarnate leading up to the election even if it means getting a Republican in office. They already did this in 2016 and 2024.

"Vote blue no matter who" for me but not for thee

[-] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 40 points 2 weeks ago

Failed at being governor, and now he wants to tank the duly elected mayoral nominee for the Democratic party by attempting to split the liberal voting block in NYC. Meanwhile, Trump's buddy corrupt Eric Adams is doing exactly the same as a favor to his buddy in the White House.

There needs to be a poster on every street corner in NYC explaining this.

Preferably with pictures of both Cuomo and Adams photoshopped into the clowns they are.

[-] bytesonbike@discuss.online 21 points 2 weeks ago

Reminds me of Jill Stein running in 2024.

They're getting money to cause chaos because why not?

“While Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams trip over themselves, to make deals in back rooms with billionaires, we are focused on fighting for working New Yorkers,” Mamdani said Monday flanked by members of the city’s American Federation of Musicians Local 802. “We are focused on the very people who make this city what it is and who are being pushed out of it.” And he replied to Cuomo’s video on X with a link to donate to his own campaign.

Idk if the link under the billionaire abuser's video was Mamdani's idea or his campaign, but of the three candidates' excerpted quotes in the article, I know which is more inspiring.

So, he's going to divide the Rightwing vote.

[-] Tedesche@lemmy.world 25 points 3 weeks ago

Won’t work. Democrats are like any other voting group: they stick with their party, no matter the majority candidate. Because losing to the enemy is worse than losing to an infra-party faction. This is how Trump got elected twice. It’ll happen again, because people are predictable.

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 35 points 3 weeks ago

He's just hoping that enough people vote for him that it'll split the vote and that Adams will win. They're liberals, they'd rather literal fascists win than leftists.

[-] Alwaysnownevernotme@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago

If the market doesn't agree with a democratic victory centrists won't abandon the market, they will abandon victory.

This screams "I am corrupt as fuuuuuuuck!!!" so hard....like that time that Bob Dole got Elizabeth Dole elected from a state she didnt live in so he could get lobbyist access again after losing the Presidential election.

These fuckers are so obsessed with power and pushing their "vision" that they refuse to let go, step aside,or support the younger generations coming up that ha e a very different view on the world and how it should be. Get these geriatric fucks out of office and let's move into the 21st century.

[-] CandyPants@lemmy.ml 16 points 3 weeks ago

They're preventing the change that's actually going to allow the left win elections again. It's pretty obvious that the Democratic Tea Party moment is starting. Who's knows what this will be called years from now, but it's starting. They learned nothing from what the party did to Bernie Sanders.

He knows he can't win. He can only split the vote, and he's gonna do it anyway.

[-] TVA@thebrainbin.org 16 points 3 weeks ago

Funny how that is only a thing when they're running a "practically a Republican" 'Democrat' and not when someone who's actually a leftist starts getting some approval.
