She is a center left establishment corporate democrat. That is not the same as a lefty (ie Bernie, AOC, etc).

I don't think Eric Adams was on the primary ballot, I don't remember seeing him and he left the party before that. NYC has done ranked choice before but it wasn't a landslide like this, I saw somewhere that Adams won his primary by 0.6% while Zohran beat Cuomo by 12%. I'm sure the smear campaigns will be endless but he won the primary by a wide margin, and his turnout numbers were pretty shocking

Do you like the ranked choice?

 

[NashVol11]

Do you like the ranked choice?

Yeah, it's more work to be informed about 5+ people but that's probably a good thing (and it's optional, you could always just rank one person). It probably gives more of a chance to different people, I like it and think more places will probably try it eventually (if they haven't already)

Just noticing that Zohran got more votes in the first round than Cuomo got in the final, so he had more people rank him #1 than Cuomo had voters that ranked Cuomo > Zohran anywhere on the ballot

I hope the administration doesn’t actually try to deport the guy or do something else to „save“ NYC from itself. They need to experience the hat they actually voted for. Otherwise they will never learn.
But of course California has been suffering for years now and still refuses to change its stupid voting pattern. Maybe some people are just incapable of learning

Not much of difference in the two parties.

Both hate the constitution
Both want to spend into oblivion
Both have their own nut jobs they cater too
Both bought by their own flavor of lobbyists

They only care about one thing. Maintaining their power.

And maintaining power for the establishment in particular, which is why Democrats are fighting Zohran harder than they fight anyone on the right. Dems claimed to want to find a way to reach young men, Zohran did that and they hate him anyway

Zohran reached young men?

Maybe the ones who drink soy milk, ride e-bikes and have a man-bun. But not real young men. If THAT‘S your party‘s plan, please, please, PLEASE pursue it with the utmost alacrity

Maybe. But this loon is so far out in left field; I don’t see how either party could claim the guy. We are talking Trotsky level stuff here

Maybe it’s because he wants to “seize the means of production”

 

[OrangeTsar]

Democrats used to criticize „millionaires“ until all of their elected members started becoming millionaires. Bernie and Pelosi especially come to mind

I’m almost hoping this clown gets elected.

Do you think the Republican can beat him? People in Cities have mush for brains.

Hey! We all know that all of history is a class struggle and that civilization will not reach its full potential until the industrial proletariat seizes the means of production from the capitalists and the petty bourgeois

I did too until I remembered they'll leave in droves and they'll just infest decent areas of the country.

It’s sort of like watching a train wreck isn’t it?

 

[C-south]

Is there a republican running? It looks like the other candidates are running “independent”.

 

[C-south]

It’s already happening. I can say most NY transplants I know aren’t from nyc and actually good dudes.

I was talking more NYC folks.

I hope it's only the good ones.

Maybe we need to pause the border wall and direct our resources to building a wall around NYC.

Maybe tack on an another fee just to enter the city.

“Men” isn’t the descriptor I’d use.

You realize girls can be dudes to him.

If by shocking you mean low then I agree.

I am not worried about people trying to get INTO the city; I don’t want them getting out and infecting the rest of the country with their communist stupidity.
