Zohran Mamdani for the win

Politics is popularity and no ones name has more recognition in that race. He's gonna either win or come too close for comfort. So long as media keeps focusing on the most inflammatory of us, that's who will win the low info voters and they're the vast majority.

This vote is ranked-choice, so there’s no reason to fear putting Cuomo and Adams at the bottom.
- Ranked choice gave them Adams in the first place, so it's not necessarily a guarantee he'll lose. Hopefully New Yorkers are more familiar with the format now and use it properly this time
  
  I don’t think they were unfamiliar, I think they were misinformed. Adams’ campaign painted a very different picture leading up to the election. I didn’t trust a cop running as a Democrat, but I know plenty of people who thought it meant good reform.

Doing some surface-level research, I like Adrienne Adams. The Luigi Mangione fanclub need to get together and back a candidate who isn't ERIC Adams, Cuomo, or any other egotist prick.

Democratic voters are addicted to electing shitty people, then whining about leftists who notice.
- Exactly this
  
  I'd love to know from the downvoters if they think Cuomo is not shitty, not a typical establishment shit-bag, or not someone the left will get shit for criticizing.
