So Andrew Cuomo posts this tweet saying that Curtis Sliwa was campaigning for Mamdani in March.

That’s a lie.

All mayoral candidates, except for Cuomo, gathered at a memorial for Covid deaths and to denounce Cuomo’s nursing home deaths.

Andrew Cuomo
@andrewcuomo• 54m
I've said it before and I'll say it again:
A vote for Sliwa is a vote for Mamdani.
And here's the proof: just this past March, Sliwa was openly supporting Mamdani to be the elected Democratic representative.
...So, is Sliwa staying in this race just to help Mamdani win?
We are so close to winning this election, even with Sliwa still in the race, but it will only happen if everyone gets out and votes.
Today is the last day of early voting and Election Day is this Tuesday. Take the time. Make your voice heard. Let's WIN this.

I find the fall back easy but spring forward difficult so maybe just keep the fall back each year. 🤷‍♂️😉

Just a thought but maybe people should just ignore Matt Goodwin? Constantly going on about his utterly stupidity just seems to fuel it.

The bloke is a crank, let him do it to the void that is Xitter.

Sounds like Trump plans to invade Nigeria after Venezuela.

The new crusades.

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria. Thousands of Christians are being killed. Radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter. I am hereby making Nigeria a "COUNTRY OF PARTICULAR CONCERN" — But that is the least of it. When Christians, or any such group, is slaughtered like is happening in Nigeria (3,100 versus 4,476 Worldwide), something must be done! I am asking Congressman Riley Moore, together with Chairman Tom Cole and the House Appropriations Committee, to immediately look into this matter, and report back to me. The United States cannot stand by while such atrocities are happening in Nigeria, and numerous other Countries. We stand ready, willing, and able to save our Great Christian population around the World!
DONALD J. TRUMP,
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Jasmine Crockett on Donald Trump: “You will not get a 3rd term. And frankly you never shoulda had one term. You were never qualified to be president not once, but definitely not twice. You are a loser and unfortunately we all are being dragged down with you and your loser ways”

One of the things I hate about being old is that I can’t remember who is dead and who is still alive.

There’s nothing democratic about giving a party more than its support merits. Perhaps they need to look at why they are so poorly supported.

1

jimcrock.bsky.social @jimcrock.bsky.social · 8d

They’re supporters views count but they don’t have sway on any other party. If there’s enough supporters they will get their way. By definition democracy will have whatever compromise the majority decide on.

Is the priority of the Green Party independence? And that’s the rub. The greens and SNP are political parties with obligations to membership and voters. I wouldn’t expect any political party to advocate voting for another.

jimcrock.bsky.social @jimcrock.bsky.social · 8d

Wasn’t there already Indy supermajority with the greens? I don’t blame them given how that worked out.

Perhaps the other parties that would like to be included in a super majority need to have a look at themselves and their priorities before suggesting they have the right to be included.

Because until all those things align exactly again it’s the last line of defence the uk government has. Anything else becomes illegitimate and will take longer. If people aren’t happy how the snp are acting they don’t need to vote but I think they’re right.

There is currently no viable alternative
