Who knew making it easier for voters to pick a candidate makes the candidates easier to pick?
This is why ranked choice has been banned in a lot of places. It breaks the duopoly.
Let's fucking goooooo
The election here was the Democratic primary. It didn't cut the Democrats out of the loop.
Democrats hate progressives. The two would be separate parties in a sensible democracy, but in the legacy first-past-the-post American system, splitting the party while Republicans exist is political suicide. There are more progressives than center Democrats, but they are not as united as the core establishment Democrats are, which made any one of them irrelevant in primaries up to now. RCV has given them a real chance for the first time. For example by giving Lander votes to Mamdani in the instant runoff. The moment RCV got implemented, long-serving Democrats started suddenly getting kicked out in the primaries. This terrifies them, so Democrats will continue to fight against RCV in the future. Just look how both Cuomo and Adams will try to commit political murder-suicide now by running as independent in the general just so that the "official Democratic party nominee" would not win.
At least RCV is a single and measurable cause to ralley around. I feel like public pressure tends to be more effective when focused on causes such as these.
Democrats hate progressives
Democrats hate socialists. Their job is to ensure that the leftward fringe of the party, and of acceptable mainstream discourse, never moves past progressive/social democracy. The Democratic Party serves capital by ensuring a neutered American left
Hopefully this can be changed
They're acting as close to a controlled opposition as ever before.

Now you and your brother can go fuck a meatball. Fucking clowns.
FIRST ROUND KNOCKOUT! 🤛
Incredible result for him and NY, and I hope this signs the death knell of Cuomo’s career. Step off, creeper.
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".
It is unfair to reduce them to that. They are also staunch supporters of genocide and imperialism.
Didn't he just announce he was going to run third party yesterday anyway?
I swear I read an article about that on here
Honestly that may be the best scenario for Zohran, Cuomo and Adam's would split the corrupt corporate centrist vote and give him an easy win.

As non american I just discovered Mamdani and he seems like a legit dude who cares and has the energy to match. Wishing luck to New York friends here!
