Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- 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 another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- 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.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple 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.
That's all the rules!

Don't Worry! EVERYONE who says Blue No Matter Who will IGNORE this INDEPENDENT because voting for him would go AGAINST their Very Solid and Honest ideology!
Absolutely blue no matter who was about solidarity against the fascists. Mamdami is the blue this time. Cuomo just another self serving vote splitting fascist enabler. So yes, blue (Democrats) no matter who (especially because mamdami seems like a great candidate this time).
I know 3rd parties actually have a presence in NY. AOC having come from them. Are there any polling close to either of the two major parties in the mayors race? And if not, why shouldn't people vote blue this time. Especially seeing as it's mamdami? Who should you have them vote for.
Mamdami is WFP (working families party) endorsed and they've been going to bat for him too in their newsletters. While 3rd party is more viable in NY its primarily in an endorsement type thing as candidates can run under multiple parties (thus listed multiple times on the same ballot) and you choose the party you vote for them under. Theoretically, this gives the 3rd party more sway in pushing policies but it is rarely straight 3rd party candidates. Unsure if the city has more 3rd parties I'm unaware of (there's Republican, Democrat, Conservative, and WFP).
They aren't advocating to vote against Mamdani. They're pointing out that "blue no matter who" is almost exclusively applied to progressives who complain about establishment Dems. When it's the other way around, establishment Dems are quick to abandon their alleged principles and sabotage progressive candidates.
Is it almost exclusively applied to establishments Dems because that's who runs the most often? Or is there some real different dichotomy? Don't get me wrong Cuomo can go fuck himself with a sideways baseball bat. Wanting to have it both ways he's going to fight for the worst possible outcome.
Plenty of genuine people got a lot of venom and vitrial in 2024 calling for solidarity against the fascists. And still do. From many of the people posting lower down below this article. Though not OP. I don't recall them being part of that group. But blue no matter who cuts both ways. And this time Como ain't the blue candidate and should really sit the fuck out and take the clue. This time people will actually be able to vote blue no matter who and hopefully feel good about it for once. Since it isn't Como or Adams.
@BigMacHole is doing a bit, check their other, very similar comments on a number of posts.
Oh. Well there are a number posting here that aren't doing it as a bit. But as long as Quomo gets fucked I don't care.
I think it's a bit, at least. And I agree, I hope he gets nothing but crickets from voters with this independent run
They aren't one of the names I generally associate with that group. So you are probably right.
