Mamdani is not third part though, because he won the primary. So he's the candidate from one of the two big parties.

And it seems to me like the main reason the dems are unhappy with his win is that even though he won a primary, he is not very likely to win the election given American fear of socialism.

Not really. New York's mayoral election has ranked choice voting so it's a different situation. Also, Cuomo is the 3rd party candidate at this stage - he's running as an independant.

If Cuomo voters snake the election from Mamdani I hope Cuomo has his rapey fingers crushed in a subway.

If Harris had won it is highly plausible she would have endorsed Cuomo leading to Zohran’s loss.

We would also not have immigrants in concentration camps. So you know, it's a trade off.

The US has been putting migrants in camps since the Obama days. Democrats are just better at pretending they don't do it

This is simply not true. Detention centers under Obama are a world apart from the concentration camps under Trump. Trump is making camps with Alligator moats. He's deporting people to countries they don't come from. He's sending them to prisons in El Salvador. Did Obama do those things also? No, he did not. Please cut the "both sides" crap because I have zero patience for this bullshit.
