Never Cuomo

Ridiculous

Cuomo was the biggest villain just 4 years ago. Now you’re embracing him as your savior?

So embarrassing.

If you’d have rallied around Sliwa instead of Cuomo you’d have a chance at beating Mamdani.

Look at the polls, Sliwa has no chance. Realistically Cuomo is our only hope to avoid Mamdani, who would be many times worse than Cuomo. Besides, Sliwa’s wife has been posting very hateful anti-Israel propaganda on social media, like blaming Israel for October 7, calling Israelis animals on October 9, and much worse. Even worse than anything Mamdani and his wife have said, which makes him compromised.

Realistically speaking , new york is democrat so the democrats who hate coumo (and there are many) who would rather not vote for extremist mamdani will reluctantly vote for mamdani. With sliwa there or not,people arent voting for corruot coumo. Plain and simple where the blame lies and who the winner,unfortunately will be.

Coumo blamed jews for covid,put extra restrictions on us. Coumo still supports the pro palestine protests and he hasn’t even taken a side . Sliwa and coumo have both spoken out against antisemitism. Coumo has taken a strong stand on antisemitism and is voicing concern for the jews over mamdani winning …. Google curtis sliwa comments on isreal. The gairdian angels was inspired by the crown heights macabbes…sliwa visited Israel in the 90s….he has two Jewish sons raised in the Jewish faith …his comments about antisemitism in gentiles dna was taken out context,he was trying to say that gentiles are… Read more »

if sliwa would have dropped out it would have been a fifty fifty chance if coumo would have dropped out it would mamdani would probably win by 60 percent so no if sliwa earlier would have dropped there would have been chance and left republicans to either vote no one or mamdani i do understand what the republicans are doing and i think it will backfire since a 3 way race it could show the republicans ideals is more popular and we could with 37 percent but based on polls sliwa is only getting at most 20 percent so it… Read more »

If sliwa dropped out mamdani would still win because majority of new Yorkers are democrats and coumo acted in unforgivable ways. If sliwa dropped out mamdani would win. All because of coumo. Even before the primaries, whichever higher-ups endorsed coumo and adams who did not deliver to the average newyorker, Shame on them because now you’ll have mamdani.

coumo was never my biggest enemy

when coumo was ousted i said hochol be better so far she is not better or worse

during covid i did not like coumo that much but i said i will vote coumo in primary if it is against a more progressive,the pogressive i was thinking about then was Letitia James

so no now i see mamdani and his law and order policys which will hurt ny i will go with coumo to stop mamdani

and no curtis sliwa does not have a chance

Dont be their sheep. The majority of crownheightsers keep saying they want to vote sliwa but can’t because of the outcome. If everyone who wants to vote for sliwa,(for safety,and cares for the security of the average guy,) sliwa has a chance to win.

1 free bus rides
2 achdus with Williamsburg

Reasons not to vote for Mamdani

1 – He is an antisemite.
2 – He is an Islamic extremist who refuses to condemn terrorism.
3 – He wants to boycott Israel.
4 – He wants to arrest Netanyahu.
5 – He has never had a real job.

Always voted with their wallets not their conscience. Don’t vote Mamdani. Lots of folks are hopefully Sliwa “closet voters”. Just afraid to say their true thoughts aloud. Please G-d they will do the right thing in the voting booth.

No choice

There is no choice, we must vote for Cuomo.
Besides him, vote republican down the line!

Dont get that logic
Reply to  No choice
October 24, 2025 1:23 pm

Same logic you use to vote coumo doesn’t work with elected officials? You know your elected officials have more power than the mayor at times in passing laws? So why not vote for the best democrat that will win with the same logic used for voting for the mayor?

it is because of Cuomo that you have mamdani!
October 23, 2025 11:09 pm

WAKE UP!

I cannot believe this illogical and dangerous decision.
It was becuase of Cuomo that jews are now facing such a threat. Curtis Sliwa was with us through and through.
I met him personally while living in CH and he (in spite of what Democratic jewish Lobbyists say) he loves our community and was there for us in many difficult moments.

I cant believe people care more about food stamps and the governmental aids to schools that to vote for the right candidate which is SLIWA.

WE NEED MOSHIACH. THE DARKNESS IS SO EVIDENT.

Not voting for corrupt egomaniac coumo and same old corruption.

Scary times
October 26, 2025 10:36 am

Mamdani is winning because of whoever backed coumo to begin with. I totally understand why now people are voting for coumo to beat mamdani. But to begin with, if they would have gotten a candidate to beat mamdani before the primary election than mamdani would lose! Why corrupt coumo? Everyone’s blaming sliwa but new Yorkers are overwhelmingly democratic so the blame lies with coumo and whoever raised him up .

Pure BS

Don’t vote for Cuomom, at your own risk.
With Mamdani you’ll get Muslims protesting all around NYC, public prayers all around NYC including but not limited to, mass bowing down on major NYC streets, last but not least, he will embolden muslim people all over NYC and NYC will evolve into a Pakistanian city. Just look at London, it’s FINISHED.
Our only chance is Cuomo, yes Cuomo, he’s the best of the worst.
Sliwa is a wasted vote because he has no chance.

October 26, 2025 3:39 pm

Embarrassing that no one here knows math.
Only one candidate can beat Mamdani. If you split the vote between two candidates, they both lose.
The only way to beat Mamdani is to have everyone vote for the same guy against Mamdani.
Sliwa does not have a chance, no one in NY votes Republican except the slim amount of Republicans. He loses every time.
Cuomo can get both Democrat and Republican votes, and has a chance to beat Mamdani.
Vote Cuomo or your vote is for the jihadi Mandani.
