Cuomo said the race is down to a democratic socialist in Mamdani and himself, a true Democrat. “What’s really happening is there’s a civil war within the Democratic Party going on, and the Democratic Party is looking for its identity. And there are two factions. You have the democratic socialists, and then you have the Democrats, they have a very extreme view that they’re pursuing, which is different than the Democratic Party,” Cuomo said Monday on “The View.”

Well, he’s not wrong about that. But after years of being told to vote for Democrats just because they’re not Republicans, and being offered a real alternative that fights for the people, he is wrong about that.

“I learned a lesson, a painful lesson, which is to be much more cautious about everything you say, any joke, any comment,” Cuomo said Monday. “I won’t kiss a person on the cheek unless they initiate a kiss. So they taught me a lesson, just to be super cautious, because there is a sensitivity that has evolved that is real. If people feel it, it’s true, and it has to be respected.”

Right, it’s all just a big misunderstanding, a joke, can’t you take a joke …
