Politics, they say, is about making hard choices. And none seems harder right now than whom to vote for in the New York City mayoral race.

According to the New York Times, the top two fundraisers in the race are Zohran Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo. It’s true that Mamdani is overwhelmingly getting his money from small donors, which is good, while Cuomo is getting his money from the big wigs. Including Jessica Seinfeld, who, last I heard, was giving thousands of dollars to a pro-Israel group that beat the crap out of pro-Palestine protesters at UCLA.

But, as the Times notes, there are other issues of concern about both candidates.

On the one hand, there’s this:

Andrew Cuomo, who resigned in 2021 after a sexual harassment scandal…has denied the harassment allegations and challenged his accusers in court.

On the other hand, there’s this:

A photo showed the candidate placing a large burrito and a side of salsa on a subway seat late one evening while holding a fork and knife over them.

But Mr. Mamdani, who is Muslim, took the ridicule in stride, saying that the photo reflected his busy campaign schedule during Ramadan.

The photo, he said, expressed the reality of “fasting while campaigning and not always having a place to break your fast except the train you’re taking from one event to the next.”

Like I said, hard choices.
