Who knew making it easier for voters to pick a candidate makes the candidates easier to pick?
Thank fuck
Hopefully he wins the general
Adams doesn't stand a chance
Wtf happened to Adams? Sure, he was under criminal corruption indictments, then cozied up to Trump and got "pardoned" (charges dismissed). But then he was supposed to be on the Democratic primary ballot, his picture was even in the official voter guide from a month ago, but on election day his name wasn't even in the list? Now he's apparently running as independent incumbent instead? What a booger!
EDIT: Both Cuomo and Adams are intending to run as independent in the general? WhyTF do we even have primaries then! If they are not going to play by their own rules of their special little club, let's just extend Ranked Choice Voting to cover the general and scrap the primaries altogether!

Because the US doesn't really have a true democracy. It's always going to be weighted against the actual interests of the people. The more success candidates the Zohran have, the more the established politicians will stack the deck against them. The good thing is that the more the game is rigged the more obvious it all becomes.

FIRST ROUND KNOCKOUT! 🤛
Incredible result for him and NY, and I hope this signs the death knell of Cuomo’s career. Step off, creeper.
How long before he gets disappeared by ICE?
It's not out of the realm of possibility, Mamdani was born in Uganda and was naturalized in 2018. If Trump really wants to test his ability to do whatever the fuck he wants, he can try to denaturalize Mamdani for some bullshit reason (even though thats not really a thing) and order him to be sent to CECOT.
Not what I was thinking. Four thugs bust into his house at 3am, stuff him in a van, and he is never seen again.
But your way is more likely.
No, it will end up your way, but to keep the brown natural-born citizens who voted for him from realizing he will go after them next, he at least needs to pretend to denaturalize him, even if that's not a thing he can do.
Expect a social media post something like "I, Donakd Trmup, hereby declare that your citizenship application was deficient, and you're gone!"
(Haha, it took effort to write that, my spell check was having fits. And maybe it needs to be in ALL CAPS to be more authentic)

If the sexual predators coalition had won this thing the party might have collapsed. So this is good for the party and the city.
I saw this somewhere else, but if Cuomo tries to run in the general election as an independent, Mamdani's line should be: "Cuomo: no means no".

LET'S FUCKING GO!
Sure would be nice if this is a sign of things to come
Mamdani destroyed Cuomo in the first round of RCV, when it was expected to be much closer. This gives me a hesitant hope that nationally the voters want real change within the Democratic party. Let's just hope this isn't a fluke, and the technofascists have really awoken a huge progressive voting bloc.
