[Since this article was written, #Mamdani has won the Democratic primary.]

"The prospect a Mamdani victory is deeply worrying to many of the Wall Street bankers, corporate executives, real estate developers, mega-landlords and others who are bankrolling #Cuomo... Backers include billionaire former Mayor Michael Bloomberg; financiers Bill Ackman and Dan Loeb; Wall Street titans Blair Effron, Steve Rattner, and Antonio Weiss; Palantir founder and co-CEO Alex Karp; and former President Bill Clinton."

    No matter who wins this primary, the general will have:

    1. Eric Adams

    2. Some Republican asshole who started the Guardian Angels decades ago and is still wearing a stupid hat and assaulting people.

    If option #3 is Cuomo, any of the 3 asshats could win.

    If option #3 is Mamdani, it's almost guaranteed win in the general because Adams and the Republican will split the shitbird vote.

    If he wins, we're going to see one of the most well-financed and competitive mayoral general elections since the Bloomberg era.

    The prospect a Mamdani victory is deeply worrying to many of the Wall Street bankers, corporate executives, real estate developers, mega-landlords and others who are bankrolling Cuomo—who resigned as New York governor in 2021 amid an accelerating impeachment push driven by sexual harassment allegations from at least 11 women, which he denied. Backers include billionaire former Mayor Michael Bloomberg; financiers Bill Ackman and Dan Loeb; Wall Street titans Blair Effron, Steve Rattner, and Antonio Weiss; Palantir founder and co-CEO Alex Karp; and former President Bill Clinton.

    I met one of those men, several decades ago, maybe the least worst on the list, maybe not. They can all afford to share the wealth with the rest of the world, via 93% tax rates and a hefty wealth tax.
