I wanted to see Andrew Cuoumo's video about running for mayor again. All I can find on search is people TALKING about it.

So I went to his twitter where it was supposedly posted. I have to come clean that I hate twitter I have never used it. I just scrolled a bit. Half the posts are about israel and nothing is in order. I didn't know andrew cuomu was so... funny.

I looked at no more than 3 dozen posts. This shit is crazy.

"Honored guest" sounds like you couldn't think of an actually nice thing to say

Do people pick the posts that are high on their profile?

After a while I find the video he made announcing his previous run for the current NYC mayoral election. I wouldn't have watched it but it was silently autoplaying and this sequence just drifted past my eyeballs. Dear god. How could Mamdani have asked for a more perfect opponent.

Is this a guy to take health or relationship advice from?

0:09 is still funny. Guy is avoiding turning toward him.

Knocking off Zohran's style this way is also such a classic dem move. Completely ignore the substance.

ya that guy was practically kettled by andrew cumoo's camera crew

coomuo lifts a line more or less from Zohran's campaign about "meeting you where you're at". and in general he sounds like he's trying to mirror the the DSA except for the ideology, tactics, strategy, aesthetics, individuals, plan. I don't think he'll have the juice to keep it up.

huge missed opportunity to say

cummo

but if I did then you wouldn't have had the fun of it

now I'm just looking at Zohran's twitter feed, which is a huge contrast to the river of flubbs over at andrew cuoumo.

How to show someone they are an honored guest without the almost sarcastic gesture of making them wear an HONORED GUEST sash:

Ah thanks I didn't think of looking at Mamdani's profile. I guess he won ownership of the post. Is that what happens when you ratio someone?

TBH this video wasn't funny as anticipated especially after the buildup of looking at his twitter feed. The previous announcement video was 17m long and the 12s I accidentally watched was cray.

I can imagine people who are ignorant or skeptical of socialism finding the show of humility compelling enough. But that's not going to carry this loser.

If he is trying to muster up some charisma to match Zohran, what a terrible failure. It gives the same vibe of the picture in the main post "Honored Guest". Why did he post a video of people taking selfies with him? All that proves is his breath is not too bad to tolerate for 5s in an outdoor area. People just want to wish him luck, gives a thumbs up and get out of there.

If Elon had them add a feature where you take over a post if you ratio it hard enough, it would be his only good idea he's ever had throughout his ownership of Twitter.

Half the posts are about israel and nothing is in order.

FYI, if you go to a Twitter profile without being logged in, instead of seeing the tweets in chronological order you get a bunch of random ones out-of-order, as you said. In the future, you can just replace x.com with xcancel.com to see the normal feed.
