    I’m sure much of us are having 2016 flashbacks this morning with a sick feeling to our stomachs..

    2 of the last 3 elections Democrats have lost to a far right demagogue

    Harris didn’t get close in many states to even Biden’s performance. We could very well lose the Presidency, Senate AND House depending on results the next few days…..

    What went wrong?
    What could’ve been done better?
    What can we change in the future to ensure voters are motivated like they were when Obama was elected?

    Democrats have no choice but to admit there’s a huge problem with some aspect of their platform— and to do a deep introspection of what’s going wrong..
     
    Man Schumer has to be sweating after this. All signs point towards him getting waxed by AOC in a primary.
    Kick all those old geezers out….we are having institutions destroyed and wiped away because of the MAGA cult. It’s way past time to rid the party of ancient leadership. Open those doors and let the cards fall where they may. Right now is the time to let that happen.

    Both Cuomo and Adams will be running in the general as independents. Those two jackarses might help a
    Republican win the election.
    You were right

    Former New York governor Andrew Cuomoreportedly plans to run as an independent candidate in the New York City’s mayoral race, days after finding himself bested in the Democratic primary by progressive insurgent candidate Zohran Mamdani.

    Several news outlets reported late on Thursday that Cuomo, 67, part of a long and powerful political dynasty in New York, would not withdraw after conceding the primary to democratic socialist newcomer Mamdani, who is now the favorite in the race and could become the city’s first Muslim mayor at the general election in November.

    Cuomo is now expected to continue as an independent candidate on a “Fight and Deliver” ballot line. But Cuomo has not decided whether to actively campaign in the coming months.……

    Ted may not know this about Texas since he likes to run off to Cancun, but people living in New York aren't going to move to rural Texas where there's Republican control and things suck. Any city they would want to move to in Texas is run by Democrats. Including here in San Antonio were we just elected our first female lesbian mayor because we didn't want an Abbot puppet running our city.

    I don’t think he actually lives in NYC. He couldn’t be bothered to campaign much in the primary from what I read, so I doubt he does much in the general either.
     
    Big win for the Progressive wing of the Democratic Party in NYC:

    Just learned who his mother is
    =====================
    The Democratic pick for New York City Mayor, Zohran Mamdani, once advised his mother, director Mira Nair, not to work on the Harry Potter film series.

    Nair is an Indian-American filmmaker, best known for the 1991 movie Mississippi Masala and 2001’s Monsoon Wedding. She once revealed that during her career, she was given the opportunity to direct Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix, which came out in 2007.

    During an interview at the 2018 Jaipur Literature Festival, she said Warner Bros. approached her to work on that movie after they saw her 2004 film Vanity Fair starring Reese Witherspoon.

    “I was deep into making The Namesake at the time,” she said, referring to her 2006 film, which was based on the Jhumpa Lahiri novel of the same name. Nair was also working on The Namesake after the unexpected death of her mother-in-law, who was like a mother to her.

    “I was deep in that melancholy,” she continued. “That’s what inspired me to make The Namesake because Jhumpa had written in it of this terrible melancholy of losing a parent in a foreign country, which is exactly what I was experiencing.”

    She explained that she was just a month away from filming The Namesake when Warner Bros. reached out to her. Nair said she felt compelled to attend the meetings with the studio because her son had learned to read through J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter books.

    However, she didn’t want to give up on working on her own film, so she asked her then-14-year-old son what to do.

    “He said to me, ‘Mamma, many good directors can make Harry Potter, but only you can make The Namesake,’” Nair recalled. “And it was such a liberating and clarifying statement, and it kind of is about how I lived my life. Like, what can I do that is so specific that you cannot do? How to make my distinctiveness my calling card.”

    This philosophy has guided Nair throughout her career, including during the production of 1991’s Mississippi Masala. During a 2022 interview with Slate, she reflected on the challenges of making the drama, which features an interracial romance between Denzel Washington and Sarita Choudhury.

    “I had already got Denzel to say yes. He loved Salaam Bombay! and that was the reason he wanted to meet me,” she recalled. “I pitched the story, and the head of the studio says to me, ‘Can you make room for a white protagonist?’”

    “And I said, ‘I can promise you one thing, that all the waiters in this film will be white,’” she added. “And he kind of looked at me and laughed, and I laughed, and he politely showed me the door.”

    However, she went on to work with a different studio to create her movie with Choudhury and Washington. And she said that “the novelty of seeing Black and brown skin in the one frame” was “a big thing.”..............

    I was just repeating what I had read. Cuomo hasn't officially declared yet. Maybe he'll sit it out.
