But it's not Zohran Mamdani vs. Andrew Cuomo.

How can Zohran win the agenda he campaigned on?
The answer is that he won't do it—WE will! To win, we'll need the organized engagement of tens of thousands of New Yorkers. The campaign showed the world we can build this kind of movement. Join us tonight at 7 to hear what's next!

This man was part of a coalition of Reagan-era apartheid apologists who opposed U.S. opening talks with the African National Congress which he called a terrorist org. He has been a right wing activist for decades. His son was part of the Jan 6th mob and was convicted (later pardoned by Trump). 1/
So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating.
When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.

And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows.

Nothing pleasant about it, but this is still an excellent piece on the final, wretched arc of Cuomo’s campaign (and career).
NEW: In 11 days, Andrew Cuomo's political career will come to an end. In a last gasp for power, Cuomo has resorted to fear mongering about Zohran Mamdani.
Such tactics were once used against his Italian ancestors; now, Cuomo employs them against Muslims:

If you want a Mayor who tells you everything that he can't do, Andrew Cuomo should be your choice.
But if you want a Mayor who will use every tool at their disposal to lower the cost of living, I am the candidate for you.

We are sick and tired of the appalling, Islamophobic attacks on Zohran for daring to care about the well-being of Palestinians.
It's not antisemitic to call out Israel for indiscriminate bombings, war crimes, and killing thousands upon thousands of civilians.
Enough is enough.
