When Andrew Cuomo makes the classic "politician face", you know change is in the air. |
That earsplitting choking sound that woke you up from a sound sleep last night was Andrew Cuomo phoning his congratulations to Zohran Mamdani for winning the Democratic mayoral primary here in New York. Cuomo had warned us that his usual voters -- most of whom regularly receive junk mail regarding funerals and mausoleums -- would stay home due to the heat. (Ninety-nine degrees on Election Day, the hottest on that date in over a decade.)
The hands-on legend (in more ways than one) lost to Mamdani by around seven points. This despite because of getting the support of millionaires, billionaires, and fellow sex-hound Bill Clinton. Memo to the DNC: Younger voters really don't like anyone named Clinton or Cuomo. And whether you like it or not, they are the future of your party, while those who remember Johnny Carson aren't. Or to put it another way: who do you think Harvey Weinstein would have endorsed were he not currently serving time for rape?

The New York Post, always the party-pooper. |
another Bernie Sanders -- a socialist democrat who would wind up breaking the hearts of his supporters when he met his inevitable end. And come November, that still may happen. Hey, it wouldn't come as a shock if the old guard Democrats somehow manipulate the ranked voting to somehow nominate Scott Stringer or -- gulp -- Andrew Cuomo. Watch how well that works out.
It's always been great sport to rightfully make fun of the difference between the male-dominated white Congressional Republicans with their age spots, gray hair, and purple hands (take it from me, low platelets), while the Democrats were the "rainbow" party with men, women, trans, white, brown, black, and whatever John Fetterman is.

Laugh it up, Archie. Let's see how you are on Election Day. |
Let Wikipedia offer a spoiler alert: The film ends with Archie making an apparently final performance to an apathetic audience.
Now let's consult Microsoft Copilot to answer the obvious question: Yes, Andrew Cuomo has left the door open to running as an independent in the upcoming New York City mayoral election. After conceding the Democratic primary to Zohran Mamdani, Cuomo told FOX Business he’s “not ruling out” a run in November. In fact, he had already formed an independent ballot line called the “Fight and Deliver Party” earlier this year, signaling his intent to stay in the race regardless of the primary outcome.
Writer John Osborne meant The Entertainer as a metaphor for the decline of the British Empire. I think it's time for a remake that takes place in the Democrat Party. There's a plethora of choices to play the lead.
