[–] Suavevillain@lemmy.world 35 points 1 year ago (1 child) Finally, a ray of hope. Congrats to Mamdari. We really need Ranked choice voting nationally. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 year ago (1 child) I think Cuomo conceded before they even had to consider the rankings. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 year ago 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). permalink fedilink source parent

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago Good. And fuck Cuomo for trying to split the vote despite losing the primary. permalink fedilink source
[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 9 points 1 year ago We'll get to see if a Socialist can beat a known criminal in this matchup. At least in NYC. permalink fedilink source
[–] Xaphanos@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (3 children) How long before he gets disappeared by ICE? permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 20 points 1 year ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent [–] QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent [–] SpaceShort@feddit.uk 5 points 1 year ago If that happens. Time for more mass protests. Surround ICE headquarters. Stop anyone from entering or leaving until he is released. permalink fedilink source parent
