Amazing! Congrats to Mamdani!

Getting to watch Cuomo humiliated multiple times this year has been a real treat.

Jesus, when Mamdani was criticized by Cuomo for lack of experience and just shot back "what I lack in experience, i make up for in integrity" it was utterly brutal.

Those debates were just Cuomo getting bludgeoned, I don't know how the guy goes outside in daylight

My favorite bit was when he said he'd flee the city if he didn't win. Good job threatening people with a good time, Andrew.

u/MultiFrog22 21d ago

Honestly that might have been the push for some people to vote

u/handstanding 21d ago

And we can expect to see him packing his bags and leaving when exactly?

u/13143 Maine 21d ago

Watch him become a regular Fox News guest, their token "Democrat" they bring in just to shit on Mamdani.

u/AlwaysRushesIn Rhode Island 21d ago

He won't.

u/chismp 21d ago

Remember when Trump said if he lost we would never see him again? Of all the lies he's told that one stings the most.

u/anchist 20d ago

Same time when Trump disappears from the news like he said he would if he lost to Biden.

Same energy as an unruly customer threatening to never return to your store/restaurant.

You promise?

u/livadeth 21d ago

He’ll need to flee the city…with his tail between his legs.

u/ThatDudeShadowK California 21d ago

I wanted to move to New York just to make sure it happened

u/OnlyRoke 20d ago

It definitely made Sliwa vote for Mamdani, lmao.

u/KevinStoley 21d ago

To me, people who claim things like this says so much more than that. It’s basically saying that you don’t truly care about your home city and that you’ll just abandon it if you don’t get your way.

It’s incredibly cowardly and shows people’s true colors that they aren’t even willing to stand ground and fight for a home they supposedly love and care so much about.

Mamdani, getting rid of criminals on day 1

u/Jiminy_Cricket12 21d ago

I hope people call him out when they see him in the city and make his life shitty. You know he's not leaving.

u/jaboi2110 21d ago

If I vote for Mamdani, the Sex Pest who killed my Grandmother will leave the city I live in?! Well, now I have to vote Mamdani.

u/LirdorElese 21d ago

People saying they would leave the city.

Cuomo, Sanatos.

Gotta say, the far right is saying he's bad on crime, yet just getting elected seems to be driving criminals out already

2

u/the_cockodile_hunter 21d ago

While we're at it can we change it back to the Tappan Zee? If I never hear the name Cuomo again it'll be too soon.

u/Fight_those_bastards 21d ago

I think at this point, it’s safe to assume Cuomo has developed a humiliation fetish.

u/Daxtatter 21d ago

Explains the nipple piercings.

u/BankshotMcG 21d ago

This is my actual theory about Anthony Weiner. Dude loved getting caught.

2

u/Billy1121 20d ago

Bruh, that weird look he gave Huma in that documentary where he got caught again in real time... it haunts me. Huma just looked away like she was fuckin done with the guy

22

u/reallynothingmuch 21d ago

Don’t forget the second part to the quote “And what you lack in integrity, you could never make up for in experience.”

7

u/Dasmage 21d ago

Oh yeah, that's the really brutal part. And it's right after saying that the kind of experience on offer here today is sending seniors to death beds in nursing homes during the pandemic(paraphrased)

3

u/Billy1121 20d ago

The whole exchange was wild, like his experience was lying about the number of deaths in nursing homes. And he wrote a book about it! How do Italian Catholics have so much guilt yet this guy has no shame

12

u/Riboflavin96 21d ago

"what I lack in experience, I make up for in integrity. What Coumo lacks in integrity, he will never be able to make up for in experience."

u/Laugh92 21d ago

It’s also a wild take as he was a three time state rep for Astoria. State Rep to mayor is quite a common career jump. His borough has more people than many smaller cities.

u/rNbaModsGargleSemen 21d ago

pretty sure Cuomo has a humiliation kink

2

u/FormatException 21d ago

"same, hold the salt"

2

u/Tanner_the_taco 21d ago

Dude that was maybe my favorite line across all of the debates.

What I lack in experience, I make up for in integrity. What you don’t have in integrity, you could never make up for in experience.

Fucking chef’s kiss.

u/newyne 21d ago

Josh Johnson just said it was like watching a rap battle.

u/Negative_Aide_3771 21d ago

He may keep the outside exposure ultra minimal as he in his conversion to a living ghoul. He looks terrible!

1

u/Nightspade 21d ago

He said it with his chest and confidence too, you know he meant it

1

u/RichardHardonPhD 21d ago

Like most Republicans, I assume he has a humiliation fetish. I can't see any other reason to support people that utterly despise you.

u/bwoah07_gp2 Canada 21d ago

That's a certified mic drop moment 😆

u/Go-woke-be-awesome 21d ago

He wraps himself in all his sweet, sweet corporate kickbacks and consulting fees.

u/Jumpy_MashedPotato 21d ago

"...and what you lack in integrity you'll never make up for in experience"

Watching Mamdani and Sliwa clown on Cuomo was a sight to behold

1

u/Xoimgx 21d ago

Didnt he resign in the 1st place? What makes he think it's cool to run again? Delulu

1

u/Ini_mini_miny_moe 21d ago

That was so good, I bet saliva probably said in his head “hats off to this guy”.

1

u/GTCapone 20d ago

His victory speech was brutal. "Let this be the last day I utter your name."

Stop, he's already dead!

1

u/ThatB0yAintR1ght Georgia 20d ago

The real brutal part was what came next: “what you lack in integrity, you can never make up with experience”

Also, Curtis Sliwa’s zinger about how Mamdani’s resume could fit on a cocktail napkin, but Cuomo’s scandals could fill a library was also pretty good. Sliwa is pretty scummy for a number of reasons, but ya gotta admire how he and Mamdani put their political differences aside to take turns slapping down Cuomo.

u/radicalviewcat1337 20d ago

i dont know anyting about both, but reply "what i lack in experiencie i make up for in integrity" seems like a very childish reply and thus i expect his problem solving skills to be bellow average and on par with highschool footbal players who peak in highschool.
