Episode 10: Rank Zohran Mamdani First for NYC Mayor

This week on Not Suitable for Democracy, we're diving into the high-stakes chaos of the NYC Mayoral Democratic Primary, where progressive power plays, surprise endorsements, and backroom drama are reshaping the city’s political future.

Host Nick unpacks:

• Endorsements: AOC vs Jessica Ramos — what it signals, who it alienates, and how it shifts the race’s voter dynamics.
• The latest polling from Data for Progress and Emerson, revealing which candidates are surging, slipping, or splitting the vote.
• The growing grassroots momentum behind Zohran Mamdani, and why some organizers see him as the clearest break from the political status quo.
• A brutally honest look at Andrew Cuomo’s attempted comeback—and the real-world consequences of his so-called "rehabilitation tour."
• And lastly, Nick predicts how Cuomo may target the LGBTQIA+ community.

It’s the kind of episode the old guard would rather you didn’t hear—so of course, we had to make it.

Because when democracy isn't working for everyone, it's not working at all.
