      Turnout is ridiculously low for the general election because everyone just assumes the Democrat will win. I’m not sure taking votes from Adams even matters. How many people are actually motivated to turn out for fucking Cuomo or the incredibly unpopular current mayor, in an election that famously has low turn out?

      The most likely effect Cuomo will have imo is spooking people to turn out for Mamdani. I’m pretty sure his entering the race as a third party candidate will turn out a lot of young people to vote against him and almost no one to vote for him.

      some Republican challenger, whoever that was going to be

      Pretty sure that it’s gonna be perennial loser and insanely racist vigilante Curtis Sliwa again.

      Either of my cats stand a better chance of becoming mayor of New York than that infected scrotum.
