Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo conceded New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary to Zohran Mamdani as the 33-year old member of the state Assembly had a significant lead in the race Tuesday night.
Cuomo’s concession came as the race’s outcome will be decided by a ranked choice count after neither Democrat got a clear majority in the vote.
Mamdani, a 33-year-old democratic socialist member of the state Assembly, started to pull ahead with more than an estimated 80% of ballots counted.
That’s an interesting perspective. I wouldn’t go so far as to dehumanise them, though. I think they’re just another type of human — that’s particularly well adapted at fucking shit up in such a way that they, and potentially their ingroup, come out on top.
It’s a highly unfortunate type of person of course and a very likely cause for the premature death of our biosphere if it comes to that.
