He isn’t elected yet, is he?

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 119 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Just as the Democratic nominee.

He still has to win the general election and looks like cumbucket coumo is going to run against him as an independent to split the vote and hope that the Republican can manage to win.

Hey thats offensive, reproductive material shouldn’t be mistaken for shit even if golden plated.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 18 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Cuomo and Zohran have different electorates though. Cuomo is going to split the bill with Adams and the other batshit Republican.

~~Lol. Idiots don't even know how ranked choice works. You can't split the vote in an RCV campaign (spoiler effects still exist, but they're much harder to directly do like this)~~

~~Even the fucking polling is getting it wrong.~~

Nvm, shit FPTP for generals

~~That's my mistake~~ I thought only the primary was rcv but the general election wasn't.

This specifically mentioned primary and special elections, not general.

[–] bus_factor@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

As far as I know only the primary uses ranked choice, not the general election?

"You can be cocky or wrong, but not both" 😛

Good on you for the edit though

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 29 points 3 days ago

It amazes me how the "Blue No Matter Who" types are strangely silent about Coumo running as independent.

He hadn't been elected, he just won the primary.

I like Mamdani but not to the extent that I can endorse unironic joker memes.

[–] scops@reddthat.com 4 points 4 days ago

Yeah, this is one meme template that comes with too much baggage

It's almost like the American people are beginning to realize the 'Free Market' is not in their best interest after all.

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It was never free. That was a lie. When they say “free market” they mean “whoever has the most money can do whatever they want”.

To the Capitalist, “free market” means “freedom to oppress and prevent any and all competition”. It’s nothing more than Randian-tinged doublespeak.

[–] Star@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 days ago

True enough. American's have been given just enough at large to think of themselves as 'global elite', and so it's no surprise how many of us act a bit spoiled once we're faced more directly with the reality.

At the very least perhaps we'll get a wakeup call, for those who need it. I hope.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I see the republicans losing their minds but I see a lot of democrats backing and endorsing him.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 18 points 4 days ago

Top Dems are split, half of them are trying to back Mr. 13 Sexual Scandals

Oh damn, that was actually less than I thought it was going to be. Only five National figures. All of which are on the outs with the main party. That's worrying.

[–] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 days ago

Unfortunately it is also to be expected.

[–] Rooskie91@discuss.online 6 points 4 days ago

This is your friendly remind that one of the reasons for demonizing and subsequently genociding the natives was that people would regularly join them for a better quality of life.

The system knows it's terrible and the only way to maintain itself is to make, by any means necessary, all other systems unobtainable.

[–] Birch@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

When is the actual election so I can ignore these posts until then as not to get my hopes up?

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Nov 4th. Unfortunately we have a while to go lol

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 4 points 3 days ago

Bloody hell. Can you not just run the election and then it’s done? It’s even worse than US football for making you wait forever for anything to happen.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 0 points 3 days ago

There is this narrative people are pushing all over that the entire world is against Mamdani and that the DNC is on some crusade against him, and the people pushing it desperately want it to be true with all of their being despite 3 out of 83 of the democrat state legislators being the only ones to speak out against him.

But I only see people talking about how cool he is and how nice it will be to have him instead of Cuomo in charge for a change.
