The thing to understand about fascism is that most people you know will be bought off. Bought with promises of peace and stability, bought with business opportunities or paid with actual cash. Most people aren't going to resist. Get used to it and get used to operating in that environment.

If you want a Mayor who tells you everything that he can't do, Andrew Cuomo should be your choice.

What keeps New Yorkers up at night are not the right-wing fever dreams of Andrew Cuomo.

It's whether or not they can keep living in the city they love.

I'm the only candidate on stage tonight with a vision for the future and a plan to bring down costs.

The homelessness crisis among the youngest New Yorkers is a moral stain on our city, the wealthiest in the world.

When I’m Mayor, we will not ignore it any longer.

Tonight, in the final debate of his decades in power or desperately pursuing it, you will hear from Andrew Cuomo the same arrogance, the same entitlement, the same excuses for a broken status quo he's long maintained.

New Yorkers are ready for change.
Their salaries are really paid by billionaire donors. They don’t care about the pittance of a salary by comparison.
