On November 4, Andrew Cuomo was decisively defeated for Mayor of New York City. There are many reasons for his loss. One of them, which has not been acknowledged in general news media, was that he was responsible for removing the Green, Libertarian, SAM, and Independence Parties from the ballot in 2020.
In November 2024, therefore, voters who wanted to vote for the presidential nominees of the Green and Libertarian Parties were forced to cast a write-in vote. Within New York City, 26,443 voters cast a write-in for Jill Stein, and 1,369 cast one for Chase Oliver. Those voters were injured by Cuomo’s actions, and certainly motivated them not to vote for Cuomo.
Cuomo hurt other minor parties as well, because he forced the legislature to triple the number of signatures for statewide independent candidates. Claudia De la Cruz would have been on the ballot without this change. She received 4,176 write-ins in New York City.
That has nothing to do with it. New Yorkers are just morons for wanting a full blown commie.
I have to agree that screwing over minor parties played far less of a role in his defeat that his sexual misconduct allegations and subsequent resignation of the governorship. Mamdanni is super charismatic and all too many people especially those under 40 are totally clueless about socialism, communism, collectivism and easily fall for the “soak the rich” argument. We shall see how things work out in NYC.
Cuomo — accumulated rot has its effects.
— ie lots of victims = down with Cuomo

I would argue the biggest reason he lost, and in fact I’d wager my all my money on it, is that his being an accused sexual predator was why he lost.
