🧵Cuomo & his crew are bullying Sliwa to drop out, screaming “only I can beat Mamdani!” But that’s a LIE—they’re not doing the math. BOTH Cuomo & Sliwa can crush Mamdani head-to-head. The real diff? Cuomo’s ego is bruised from losing the Dem primary, so he’s resorting to thug tactics. Let’s unpack with facts & numbers. #NYCPolitics #CuomoBully
First, the bullying: Cuomo’s been BEGGING Sliwa to quit, blaming him for splitting votes. He’s pleaded with GOP to ditch Sliwa, even said Sliwa “can only make Mamdani win.” Sliwa’s response? “No chance!” This ain’t leadership—it’s Albany-style arm-twisting from a sore loser who bombed in the primary.
#DropOutCuomo
Latest polls (AtlasIntel, Nov 1): Three-way—Mamdani 41%, Cuomo 34%, Sliwa 24%. Tight race, but Mamdani ahead. Key: Anti-Mamdani voters (moderates, Jews, outer-borough) dominate Cuomo & Sliwa’s bases. If one drops, their supporters flock to the other, burying Mamdani’s extremism. #NYCMayor nypost.com/2025/11/01/us-…
Proof Cuomo can beat:
If Sliwa drops (his 24% redistributes), polls show Cuomo surges to 50% vs Mamdani’s 42%.
Clear win! Sliwa’s tough-on-crime crowd (mostly anti-DSA) flows ~75%+ to Cuomo per crosstabs.
No surprise—Cuomo gets the boost he needs. #VoterFlows
Now, the math they ignore:
If CUOMO drops (his 34% redistributes). Based on poll crosstabs (Quinnipiac/Marist averages), ~27% abstain, leaving 73% realloc = 24.8%.
Of those, 92% go anti-Mamdani (to Sliwa), only 8% to Mamdani.
Sliwa adds ~22.8%, Mamdani ~2%. 6/9 Crunching it: Sliwa starts 24% +22.8% =46.8%.
Mamdani 41% +2% =43%. Abstentions shrink electorate by ~9.2%, so recalibrate:
New total ~90.8%. Sliwa ~51.5%, Mamdani ~47.4%.
Sliwa WINS! (Approx; exact flows undisputed from polls.)
Both CAN beat Mamdani! #StopMamdani
Why the lie? Cuomo lost the Dem primary to Mamdani BADLY (she got 56% after RCV). Now running indie, his ego can’t handle dropping for the greater good. Instead, he bullies Sliwa—the guy who didn’t lose a primary—to bow out. Hypocrisy alert! NYC needs unity, not egos. #CuomoEgo
Voters: Don’t fall for it.
If you want to stop Mamdani’s defund-NYPD, rent-freeze socialism, rally anti-Mamdani forces.
Cuomo should drop & endorse Sliwa—math shows it works.
His $5M secret consulting cash already reeks of conflicts; add bullying?
No thanks. #SliwaForNYC nypost.com/2025/11/01/us-…
