NYC! 👏👏👏👏
Finally, a ray of hope. Congrats to Mamdari. We really need Ranked choice voting nationally.
- I think Cuomo conceded before they even had to consider the rankings.
  
  Correct, as it stands now, no one has over 50%, it will need to probably go through 9 rounds until Mamdani gets the majority, which is expected to be called next week. That being said, Cuomo is so far behind, he likely conceded since it's extremely unlikely he'd be ranked 2nd for most of the people who votes for Adams and Lander (since they're in 4th and 3rd place respectively).
Good. And fuck Cuomo for trying to split the vote despite losing the primary.
We'll get to see if a Socialist can beat a known criminal in this matchup. At least in NYC.
WOOOHOOO
How long before he gets disappeared by ICE?
- Don't do that to yourself man. Hope is still important. If anything happened to him that would be devastating but right now he's safe and might actually be able to contribute to a resistance movement.
- It is more likely that he will lose in the general to Adams after months of hateful racist messaging than he gets nabbed by ICE.
- If that happens. Time for more mass protests. Surround ICE headquarters. Stop anyone from entering or leaving until he is released.
It begins
Good fuckin riddance to bad fuckin rubbish
He was a disaster the first time, what the fuck makes him think NY'ers want anything to do with that piece of shit?
Best news in a while, hope he wins the next race.
We just need one more W
Congratulations NYC!
Continue fighting 💪
I'm glad he beat Cuomo, but I don't think he'll be a good mayor
