Extremely charismatic and talented leftist Dem Zohran Mamdani defeated disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo’s entitled, limp dick independent campaign and made an afterthought of now two-time loser now-former AM radio host Curtis Sliwa on Tuesday, becoming the first ever Muslim mayor of New York City, per National Zero’s gut feeling-based decision desk.
There’s something to be said about what a stubborn, thick-foreheaded bastard Curtis Sliwa is. However cartoonish he is, he never compromised nor even considered it when his boss and so many of his would-be allies – not to mention the goddamned president of the United States and the leader of his own party – turned against him to back fucking Andrew Cuomo because “socialism.”
“If perchance I lose on November 4th, I will improve, not move. I was born in this city. I was almost killed in this city. I’ll die in this city. I’ll be buried in this city,” Sliwa told CNN on Monday. Respect, non-grudging at that, for the red beret-wearing vigilante who never pretended to be anyone else.
As for the other authentic candidate in the race, the actual winner, Mamdani’s prooooobably going to have more trouble than he expects with fulfilling his agenda, but to be seen as constantly trying to meet those expectations while actually governing is a large part of the battle.
