Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
I'm expecting the dumbass voters to sit it out again in view of the expected landslide (or maybe another outrage happening across the world) and let the candidate with the convicted past into office. Again.
This time the Democrats have an actual flesh and blood candidate who actually stands for something. If he wins, will that alter your perspective at all?
American voters suck, just like they have always sucked, just like voters suck everyplace else. That's the field in which the game is played.
Being the lesser of two evils is not a good strategy. The greater evil gets all the attention and therefore enthusiasm. Good vs evil is a whole different dynamic.
He brought out the youth vote in droves. That's a rare thing.
Is this race a majority or plurality wins?
Plurality.
Ranked choice
Again, ranked choice does not apply in the general election.

In New York City, primary elections are conducted with ranked-choice voting, while the first-past-the-post system is used for general elections.

Adams will quit and endorse Cuomo last min 99.9% sure, Silwa> 50% IMO.
So I think it’s a toss up at best.
Silwa is currently polling at 14%, last election he was polling at 25%, so it's not happening. the best chance against Mamdani is still cuomo
they will all fold to cuomo.
