    Cuomo is a corrupt creep who was coasting on name recognition until he actually had to campaign

    NY has ranked choice in the primary so that's an interesting factor there. A lot is going to depend on if people who dont favor Cuomo rank him. Or if Cuomo voters rank Mamdani.

    What makes him a socialist? Does he want everyone to pay more for goods through tariffs to protect jobs? Give tax payer funded investment accounts to babies? Promote the biggest spending deficit in US history? Hold $50M birthday parades for himself? Give us the details….

    I think the original poster hates everyone and thinks they are socialists who don't suckle from the Great and Powerful Orange Skidmark...

    The next time a right winger understands what socialism or communism are will be a first.

    To be fair, the guy is in DSA, he's not exactly someone running away from the concept. And the big prize here is becoming the mayor, which means he will be the guy everyone hates if he wins, and stuck in a job that has never catapulted anyone into higher office.

    I was reacting to the meme, not the actual candidate.

    Why do silly Pubs think Socialism is the same as Communism when Karl Marx himself differentiated them.

    1. Case in point of not understanding
    2. Not a Democrat, but thanks for not lumping me in your insane MAGA world
    3. Your own silly picture destroys the argument it’s trying to make. Maybe the genius that made it doesn’t understand the words they were using.

    Marx also said capitalism would collapse in on itself due to inherent contradictions.

    Which is certainly looking more prescient by the day.
