A Cuomo run in the general would’ve been legally disallowed almost anywhere else in the US. The dynamics of this three-way race are not generalizable.
I don’t think a Mamdani platform works in rural Montana, but the 50.4% isn’t a reason why.

Cuomo losing in the primary and even being allowed to run in the general would be illegal/impossible nearly anywhere but NY. We can all come up with rationales that confirm our priors, but there’s nothing generalizable here.

Polling shows it’s close. Not clear at all that Puerto Rico would vote against statehood if there was a concerted campaign and it was realistically on the table.

Some people get to keep promises to their voters.
Other people must timidly mollify the side that got its ass stomped at the ballot box.

It's not just a piece of WWII esoterica—it was (and is) a living subcultural battleground. If that's been on your chest for 18 years and you've got no political record, it's not "disgusting" for people to doubt you should be immediately elevated to a leader of the antifascist resistance!
