    A week ago, the Cuomo campaign released a long, racist video depicting criminals endorsing Mamdani. Critics called the ad racist. The campaign deleted it shortly after it was posted and blamed the whole thing on a junior staffer.

    Saw an article about how conservatives and even trump are “advising” Cuomo…

    And it’s super obvious.

    Cuomo and the neoliberal are so out of touch with Dem voters, they still think what works on MAGA works on us. Because to someone from the generational wealth/power as Cuomo…

    We are the same to them. We’re poor and low class and they’ve been so segregated from the common people we’re just one out-group to them.

    Nothing matters except we don’t have wealth.

    We need to start treating economic bigotry as a real thing, the wealthy have for centuries.

          I know about trans people and cross-dressers. But, in a political cartoon, with characters that are light on details, artists (or AI in this case) will use easily-identifiable, stereotypical signs to showcase a trait or gender. For example, lipstick, or a bow, or a dress or skirt, to identify a character as female.

          We all know this and are exposed to this pattern all the time. Or are you seriously suggesting that the bill is trans, but is somehow also pregnant?

    It reminds me of Ben Garrison’s hornyposting about AOC. Calling him stupid without really elaborating, trying to shame him based on his previous job, and so on.

      Mamdani beat Cuomo for the Democratic nomination, but because of the way New York elections work, Cuomo was able to keep running as the candidate of another party, which he founded specifically for this election.

    Jason Koebler, however, came to my defense. He circled the pregnant belly of the cartoon bill and shared it. “Baby is stored in the circle area,” he said.
