Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
The general election won't have ranked choice. Adams and Cuomo may end up splitting the "willing to vote for corrupt dirtbag" ticket and let Mamdani cruise to victory.
We can dream.
I expect one or the other will get pressured/bribed into dropping out.
Yes, that's probably correct. It'll be late in the race, because both of them are pig headed and want the other one to do it. That will only drag down whomever does end up staying in. It'll be a glorious game of political chicken. I'm ordering all the popcorn now.
I thought the donors were going to pick one and push out the other, but web search indicates that hasn't been successful yet. We'll see.
They fight amongst themselves, too.
They're all sociopaths. You can use that fact to predict how they function.
Yep, two shit bag neoliberals running I and an actual Republican.
This is both good for Mamdani and what will be used as an excuse when he wins.
Is the Republican even relevant in NYC this election? I saw this as Lieberman for Connecticut redux.
The Republican is the Guardian Angels guy from the 80s, he's probably not relevant outside of Staten Island, and a few old cat ladies.
Careful. He has huge name recognition.
Not necessarily for good reasons, though. Particularly over the last decade or so.
He doesn't even have the "just woke up from a 40-year coma" vote sewn up, since there's a Cuomo running....
yes they have won NYC elections in the past, nyc has a habit of choosing a republican, or Democrat that works with republicans.
Have they ever had a choice that wasn't one of those two things before?
If there's 3 "Democrats" running, he might be.
May it be so.
I mean, that's not even a dream, that's just what's almost certainly WILL happen since they appeal to almost exactly the same demographics across the board.
Would be a surprise if more than one of them even reaches double digit percentages, actually.
