They're not mad because they lost money, they're terrified because Mamdani is a socialist.

Not in the article, but it's not really a secret

Bill Ackman (billionare democratic donor) has offered essentially unlimited funding for anyone to run against him as a write in candidate

It's indicative of a deep, irreversible rift in the party. Either democrats adapt or they split in half.

Either they listen to their voters and become a 'new' democratic party, or they'll continue bleeding numbers and die. Either way, it's still the beginning of the end.

They are going to gamble that they can stay the same because people are/will be so mad about… well everything.

They will 100% try to do this, but they'll end up losing and then blame the voters they're maligning. Mamdani is a case-in-point difference between status quo candidate turnouts and progressive candidate turnout. The 7% delta over Cuomo is the 7% they'll lose if they try it again.

Fun fact - uneven eye dilation can sometimes be a symptom of stroke or aneurysm

If Cuomo runs independent, the democratic party loses any hope of keeping their progressive base and it might actually split entirely.

After bullying their base for the last 10 years to get in line behind their shit moderate candidates, if they were to suddenly decide that primaries don't mean anything then they'd never be able to convince progressives to vote against their interests again.

Cuomo is backed by the democratic establishment and the DNC's donor class. It doesnt matter if he's independent, he's the establishment pick and would be running with their funding.

"Vote blue no matter who"

Mamdani wins historic primary victory

".....shit"

Not that I'm aware of, no

Would have been expedient doing that back in February when polls were showing him at 1% and nobody knew who he was

Say whatever you want about him, that man has the best comedic timing

Whoever drew this went to great lengths to keep Israel on the map
