a tale in establishment arrogance

Even some of his supporters say Andrew M. Cuomo ran an aloof campaign for mayor that underestimated his chief rival, Zohran Mamdani.

Cuomo didn't lose, Mamdani won.

Yes people hate Cuomo and if you want to take it as an indictment of him, fine. But even moreso than that this is an endorsement of Mamdani and progressive values. Don't undermine Mamdani's accomplishment by acting like this was a failure of Cuomo rather than a success of Mamdani
