Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani holds a 10 point lead over Andrew Cuomo in New York City’s general election for mayor, while incumbent Mayor Eric Adams trails in fourth place behind Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa, according to a new poll.
Mamdani gets support from 35 percent of registered voters, followed by Cuomo with 25, Sliwa with 14, Adams at 11 and attorney Jim Walden at 1 percent. Thirteen percent of respondents said they weren’t sure, while 1 percent picked another candidate.
Now it’s time for the “vote blue no matter who” crowd to put up or shut up. So far, party loyalty doesn’t seem very important to a lot of the establishment.
That’s because they only support “democracy” when it is ruled by a corporate oligarchy. Neolibs will not abandon neoliberalism when it becomes unpopular, they will abandon the illusion of democracy; just like conservatives did.
Meh. We’ll see what happens when it threatens their office. A lot of them have already started changing their rhetoric.
