Andrew Cuomo was the most carbrain candidate.

He doesn't walk.

He doesn't take the subway.

He doesn't bike.

He only travels in his Ford dodge

He has been caught speeding again and again in his Ford dodge:

Cuomo was supported by Wall Street and Car Companies:

You defeated him. And the guy who won the democratic primary doesn't even own a car.

Congratulations 🎉 · 🎉🥳

Dodger

Trump also gave him praise, calling him a communist

    He's what, 33 years old? I think the odds of him having a stroke and turning right wing are pretty low too. So that's another plus! Good job New York!

    The stroke gun doesn't care about age, protect this man.

    God dammit. I forgot about the stroke gun. Dems have the Jewish space lasers and Republicans have the stroke gun.

    With the way things are right now I think we'll have to defend Zohran from both. Dems are getting on board the Muslim hate train really hard after his win.

    I live in New York, I've had friends run into Zohran, and I'm only a couple steps removed from him socially. I'm told, admittedly not first hand, that Zohran basically stood up against a creeper in his friend group, and told the guy he wasn't welcome anymore with that sort of behavior. Sort of the opposite of the more common "missing stair" pattern

    This might have been the hardest part of Mamdani's fight, but the fight is far from over. Remember that he still has to beat Adams in the general election. And word is that Cuomo is far from done, he's gathering support from millionaire / billionaire benefactors to either boost Adams or run in the general himself as another independent. Cuomo always ratfucks people, always has, be ready for something nasty. And personally I'm paranoid that the DNC will close ranks against him to endorse a challenger, similar to how they shut out Bernie against all popular support.

    Keep fighting.

    Edit: Cuomo just announced that he will be running in the general as an independent. Mexican standoff between The Good (Mamdani), The Bad (Adams), and The Ugly (Cuomo).

    Wait what? 50$ for speeding? LOL what a joke

    As a New Yorker I can explain that $50 is the fine if caught by an automatic camera, its more if caught by a cop in-person. (Speeding caught in-person is fined hundreds of dollars and points on the license.) The camera fine should be more, the fine for not moving your car for the street sweepers is more! Also the fact he had 4 school zone violations in the same month means that both the fine is too little and also he would also totally run over a kid eventually if he stays in the city.

    In a school zone at that. Just the price to speed (and kill children) if you're rich.

    America must be crazy carbrained, because in Victoria, Australia, which is decently carbrained, this number of violations would have your licence revoked: https://transport.vic.gov.au/Road-rules-and-safety/Demerit-points#h2-egz05

    Same in the UK, would have been an automatic driving ban already with that many occasions of speeding - no difference between a camera and a cop here, they both count exactly the same.

    Here in North America many people claim cops are violating our rights by doing radar, pulling people over etc. Many of those same people claim the cameras are also violating their rights and celebrate when the cameras are vandalized by paint, removal, smashing, or thrown in a lake.

    Seems to me people just don't want to be reminded that speeding is in fact dangerous and illegal and drivers should be held responsible and accountable for it.

    Cuomo is still in the race as an independent, but the general is FPTP and right now he's in a race with two other "centrists" to split the asshole vote. Every single one of them is incredibly independently unlikeable. I can't wait to see him lose twice.

    "Ford Dodger"? Are you intentionally messing up the make and model of his car? Is this a sort of joke I'm not getting? Ford and Dodge are different car manufacturers and the Dodgers are a baseball team. I dont even know why you're are referring to its make and model (twice) in your post in the first place. I know it doesn't really matter, but it sounds like an old person calling every video game console a "Nintendo Genesis". If that's the goal, kudos.

    I don’t think it’s a joke, considering the average lemmy user I think op got confused on car manufacturers 💔

    I don't think they did, the make and model is in the headline of one of their links and they take specific issue with this particular vehicle. And it's true, the dodge brand attracts a lot of asshole drivers that weave through traffic. The misnaming is deliberate and tongue-in-cheek.

    But it isn’t funny like at all 😭. But yea you might be right.

    God the joke was just so flat that it’s making me mad and distracting me from an otherwise good post lol

    It's a pun, it's not supposed to be laugh out loud funny. It takes you a second to get it and then you groan and tell the orator to fuck off.

    I like it because it will live inside the head of car brains who actually care that much about make and model even though we're all still on the same page and it literally doesn't matter.

    I didn't get it at first either but it's definitely a clever play on words referring to dodge chargers being driven by reckless drivers, i.e. used to "dodge" other vehicles including fords.

    Maybe, but I appreciate the semi-alliteration between "ford-dod-ger" and "dodge-char-ger". Don't read it like a make/model but as a descriptive term (the syllabic stress changes a bit) and it makes a little more sense.

    ...and I've analyzed the joke to death now. You're welcome!
