Cuomore Years of Hell

With less than 30 percent of polling precincts counted, the Associated Press declared incumbent Andrew Cuomo the winner in New York’s contentious Democratic gubernatorial primary, ending what had become a study in stark contrasts between Cuomo’s craven political opportunism and Cynthia Nixon’s progressive vision for the future, which included abolishing ICE and fixing New York City’s degrading subway system.

There had been months of acrimony between the two candidates, punctuated in its final days with an ad allegedly approved by Cuomo’s camp accusing Nixon of abetting anti-Semitism and mailed to voters on the first night of Rosh Hashanah. Nixon is, in fact, raising her children Jewish.
