a tale in establishment arrogance

Even some of his supporters say Andrew M. Cuomo ran an aloof campaign for mayor that underestimated his chief rival, Zohran Mamdani.

Cuomo didn't lose, Mamdani won.
Yes people hate Cuomo and if you want to take it as an indictment of him, fine. But even moreso than that this is an endorsement of Mamdani and progressive values. Don't undermine Mamdani's accomplishment by acting like this was a failure of Cuomo rather than a success of Mamdani
a sex pest rarely blame themselves.
We all knew who Cuomo was. His backers have no one to blame but themselves for thinking so little of voters that they would simply forget his many scandals.
He should blame himself. He's such an shit politician.
- I already liked Zohran for his policy positions but it was a joy watching him parry what would be carrier ending questions for lesser politicians by giving irrefutable and also very much common sense answers. He is a politician head and shoulders above the failson that is Cuomo.
  
  I think hes ok but I also think it was a layup victory for him. There was no way he would lose. The other candidates were awful and the only other progressive one was Jewish.
