Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a video released Monday that he will run an independent campaign for New York City mayor, weeks after losing the Democratic primary to Zohran Mamdani.
Sane-wash? Buddy, get offline. I’ve literally just explained why it isn’t insane. The interests of the democratic party are better served (not perfectly) by the right when compared to the left. They can get tax cuts with the right while really only sacrificing the comfort of the underclasses or tax increases and accountability with the left. It’s completely rational. It’s the ruling class best serving its interests. Nothing insane about it.
“But, them democrats is all libuhruls!” ~ Most of MAGA.
But, there are some MAGAs who know it’s all a ruse but don’t care because they want the bigots to win. So, they stoke the fire under the ignorant masses.
Modern Liberalism claims to be for individual equality but that’s kind of a lie. It has the same mechanisms to distribute economic and political power than Classic Liberalism, Libertarianism or Neoliberalism. Capital rules everything.
MAGAts understand that the Democrats believe in inequality just like the fascists do, just inequality based on class instead of on identity. So for them it’s perfectly logical to choose identity instead. They are not wrong about the hypocrisy of liberals, pretending to care about equality for some specific group but ignoring the inequality for all. It was fine until prosperity started to plummet.
And after Mamdani hired one of the DNC’s consultants to nerf all his policiesappeal to the centrists who have thus far refused to endorse him.
It’s almost as though the centrist wing of the party does absolutely nothing in good faith and will do everything they can to ratfuck anyone to their left.
That’d be blaming the one bad egg, not the the institutions. Neoliberals will ally themselves with fascists to fight socialists. But I guess it’s possible. Also good strategy, blame the rogue politician instead of their moral bankruptcy.
Haha I wondered how they would try to stop Mamdani becoming mayor.
They’ll bribe city council to vote down all his proposals as mayor.
It’s insane to me they would rather split the vote and put one of Trump’s puppets in office rather than move their platform slightly left of center.
Not it’s not. They prefer to lose with the right than win with the left.
Yes, it is insane. Why sane wash?

It makes sense when you think about how they are closer to Trump policy wise than they are to being left of center.

I’m not sure this is party desperation so much as it is Cuomo’s ego. I’d call it 75% ego at least.
It’s more party desperation and bloated ego lining up perfectly.
