Cuomo, Adams, and Sliwa realize they're all going to lose if they all stay in, but they're too vain or stupid to actually do it. It's wonderful.

My theory is that they've run up substantial campaign debt and are financially obligated to carry on grifting until they can walk away closer to clean than wherever they are now.

I think that could be true for Adams. Cuomo has all the billionaires backing him so he's probably not in debt but is actually gonna make a lot of money from this, and Sliwa is just Sliwa, he does what he wants.

Sliwa is just happy to see his name mentioned in the press, and if he drops out that stops. so yeah he’s in it until the end. Adams and Cuomo are too vain and arrogant to admit they are going to lose 🥴🤦‍♂️🤣

At least Sliwa is an animal lover and would ban kill shelters. I love that about him.

Doesn't he have like 40 cats in a 1 BR or something?

Ya, he's probably got Stage 9 toxoplasmosis and an addiction to nip.

So, more qualified than Adams for sure

Crazy cat man 🐈

Personally, I think they're hoping that Adams drops out and Cuomo splits the Democratic vote enough to get Silwa in. That, or Cuomo's head is just too far up his own ass to realize he doesn't have a chance, and Adams knows that being in a position useful to Trump is protecting him.

Yeah, Adams is simply trying to avoid prison at this point. Cuomo seems more like a genuinely disordered personality. I'm not 100% sure even he knows what he's doing at this point.

unless they have more on Adams (which they certainly may), he's already escaped prison, as his charges were dismissed with prejudice

That’s a load-bearing unless

even if all of Adams' votes went to Silwa, Mamdani would still win

I hate to root for Silwa for anything but I hope Cuomo finishes behind him.

Pretty harmless to root for him I think :)

Just to pull ahead of Adams and Cuomo, who are arguably even worse. At least Silwa has lots of cats.
