Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

A Republican endorsement is the sign of a true Democrat 😉

The last Democrat endorsed by a Republican lost the presidential election.

President Donald Trump on Monday endorsed former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a lifelong Democrat running as an independent, in New York City's mayoral election.

The president urged voters not to cast a ballot Tuesday for Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa, saying it would be “a vote for [Zohran] Mamdani.”

“Whether you personally like Andrew Cuomo or not, you really have no choice,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

trump supporting Cuomo over a racist Republican should make it clear that no silver spoon neoliberal is on our side.

They're working with republicans against the people, always have and always will.

IDK, after the debates, I kinda like Sliwa.

he's got what, like, 80 cats or something?

Shit birds of a shit feather, Randy

Unless... We really have no choice. Perhaps they are signaling that Cuomo will be installed whoever wins the election. That Mamdani will be "removed" - by ICE or other means.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 26 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The current governor is Cuomo's old LT Gov who took the spot when he resigned...

trump can't stop Mamdani, but between the Gov being Coumo's buddy and the NY state Dem party being one of the worst in the country...

There's a non-zero chance Mamdani wins and they try to just hand it to Cuomo on some bullshit.

I think it would take some exceptional political gymnastics for Hochul to have personally campaigned with him and then justify how his election must be annulled. She'll just refuse all his plans that need state approval. The state has a lot of power to just try to make him fail in order to teach the people that only neoliberals can be trusted to lead.

Direct Federal fuckery is more likely.

[–] jhymesba@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

If you really wanted to do something about Mamdani winning NYC Mayor, wouldn't you do it way before the day before the election? Or is that just crazy talk?

"Andrew, can you show me on the doll where King Mierda touched you?"

Considering these are also the "socialism doesn't work people", they sure as hell put a lot of effort into making sure people don't vote for it.
