Doesn’t take too much for the spolier effect to screw the whole thing up!
Yeah, in a normal Dem/MAGA race, a spoiler could damage one side or another, but this is essentially a one man race, with three spoilers. It's unlikely that any single spoiler could garner enough votes to beat Zohran. The spoilers will most likely just take votes from each other more than Zohran.
Zohran crushed Cuomo by 10 points in the primary (despite Cuomo outspending him by a mile), how do they think Cuomo is going to close that gap, without losing ANY votes to Adams or Sliwa? Obviously, they think that their doom & gloom histrionics following Zohran's win will scared enough people away from Zohran, but it looks to me like they may have actually chased a lot of non-primary voters toward him for the general, rather than warned people off.
I'm not worried about this spoiler strategy. They are deploying it poorly, and it going to hurt them far more than it will help.
The MAGAs AND the Establishment Democrats have not figured out that the people are not listening to them, and an increasing number are forging their own political path. Dems are starting to become targets just as much as MAGAs. In 2010, the Tea Party made a big splash, and opened the door for MAGA. We are now at a point where the Progressives are poised to do the same thing, and change the direction of their party. The DNC had better go along, or they'll be left behind. Taking control of the DNC should be the Progressives' primary strategy right now, and we don't have to wait for an election to do it.
