Phillipian Satire: Mayoral Debate

Last Wednesday, in the NYC mayoral debate, a clash broke out between Andrew Cuomo and Zohran Mamdani. Also, Curtis Sliwa made an appearance before returning to the tunnels underneath New York. The debate was contentious, to say the least. In a rant, Cuomo said to Mamdani “You have never had a job. You’ve never accomplished anything,” clearly referring to the PA Comedy Club. Zohran immediately refuted the comparison, noting that his cringe Instagram reels have more than three likes.

Mamdani shouted back with “You said the city is being screwed by the state. Who was leading the state? It was you!” Cuomo wanted to say something, but was worried “the city” was another one of the women he sexually assaulted, and decided to just let sleeping dogs lie (Bill Cosby style). Meanwhile, Curtis Sliwa disappeared, as he was taking turtles from the Bronx Zoo and throwing them in the East River in the hopes of recreating the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. 

When asked to name a NYC hero, Cuomo responded with Vito Corleone. Mamdani said Iron Man. No one mentioned Juan Soto.

It is very likely that Mamdani will win the NYC mayor election this year. When that happens, about half of Andover students from New York will move to Florida. 

Voting will occur on November 4, just six days away. Just know that if Mamdani  wins there won’t be any workshops or emails the day after.
