The power of democratic clubs and leaders has ebbed, more likely dissolved, the iconic Thomas Jefferson Club in Canarsie recently sold their building and is fading away, call it electoral passions, has moved on to complaining about Trump, the spark is yet to be ignited. A few weeks ago I attended a mayoral candidate forum hosted by the PSC, very young audience, candidates amiable… candidates all excellent presenters, …liked each other too much

For the remnants of the clubs Cuomo means post election jobs.

Expect a very low turnout, and, yes, AOC is the wildcard who can pick a mayor

Isn't there a plan for people to just never vote for Cuomo...like a 'no to Cuomo' thing that could damage him?

I think you meant "Yorktown native," not "Parkchester native." Otherwise, a fine analysis. But you'll have to wrest political power from moderate Dems' cold, dead hands.

I like Lander a lot and worked on his first city council campaign in 2009! But he needs to drop out and support Mamdani. We cannot help Cuomo or Adams!
