The " dems are different from repubs" crew is eating a shit sandwich now.

Given how NYC elections and sentiment around Trump even before he ran for president, it seems an interesting strategy to think affinity with Trump would be an asset with that crowd.
Even in many areas where Trump is actually popular, candidates that received an explicit endorsement from Trump still failed. It's not even much of an asset there. In NYC one would think it's pretty much poison to a campaign.
The guy with a HATE BONER for the dude who likes HELPING people (eww helping) is GOOD FRIENDS with the NAZIS? He's sucking cheeto too? WOW! SAD!, even!
Establishment democrats have way more in common with the current administration than leftists and they know it.
Shocked
This is why the Democratic party stinks. Just cynical assholes only loyal to power.
You think Gavan Newsom is different?
Newsom is only different in the sense his constituents won't stand for this sort of thing.
I hope New York proves they won't, either.
Nope, Newsom vetoes progressive voter referendums all the time in deference to established power and corporations. Just look at what happens in Cali when power companies are at fault for massive wildfires due to negligent equipment/line upkeep…
The state has the 4th largest economy in the world, and yet simultaneously has incredible wealth disparity, a crisis of unhoused people and untreated mental health issues with no affordable/free housing in sight, and crumbling roads/infrastructure everywhere. It is not well run.
So yeah, Newsom wouldn’t be my first pick based on substance. But on style, yes, he’s fighting fire with fire. Hell, he’s simply just doing something to fight, and myself and many others love to see it. More of this from all Dems please, especially those who aren’t full on corporate shills. AOC - now is your time to step up, let’s go!
Hello? This actually is great news! Due to the first past the post voting system, now the fascists will be split in two and have no chance of winning!!

NYC uses RCV for mayoral elections. he just doesn’t know how it works, or he’s intentionally being misleading to get fundraising
NYC only uses ranked choice for primaries and special elections.
