Oh, and centrist Democrats often urge leftier types to rally behind their nominees in general elections. I agree. Anyone claiming that there’s no difference between the parties is a fool. But this deal has to be reciprocal. Mamdani will be the Democratic nominee, and anyone calling themselves a Democrat should support him.

This idea is based on pragmatic concerns, not moral principles: in most elections, either Democrats unite behind one candidate or Republicans win. However, Republicans definitely won't win the NYC mayoral election. The same candidate running now ran last time too and got only 28% of the votes. In this context, I see no reason at all for Democrats to unite, except perhaps that further direct opposition is a waste of effort. Awful candidates like Cuomo and Adams almost certainly can't win by running as third- and fourth-parties.
