Vote in the New York City Election

[Josquius]

This is getting quite some reporting.

[Norgy]

The high seat of capitalism getting a democratic socialist mayor is simply too good a story to not jump onto the bandwagon.

[Savonarola]

I think former Emmy^TM Award winning Governor Andrew Cuomo is the clear choice.  He's already caused one real estate boom here in Florida, I'm sure he can do another.  He saved the Social Security Administration millions by killing off old people (everybody talks about the looming Social Security crisis, he's done something about it.)  I understand that he kicks ass 24/7 (well, maybe not "Kicks", I think it's more like "Pinches" but close enough.)  And the return of Andrew will undoubtably bring ace reporter Chris "Mycroft" Cuomo back to some network, and don't we all miss Chris?

I was going to non-vote por Mamdani but if Oscar the Grouch is running for NYC mayor it is my solemn duty to vote for him.

This election is basically a referendum on the Commie.

I watched a PBS story on small town publicly owned supermarkets.  One succeeded, one failed. The concept is pretty similar to food co-ops, which don't seem to have caused the end of civilization.

The rest of his agenda I've spaced out on, but I vaguely recall some of it was nutty.

FYI, only three candidates are still in the race.  Mamdani, Cuomo, and Sliwa.

So I guess Oscar gets my vote.

Hernandez and Estrada are still in it technically, they just aren't considered to have a snowball's chance in hell of actually winning.  Only Adams and James Walden (who I had not heard of until today) have unofficially withdrawn (they're still on the ballots, though).

[Admiral Yi]

Wiki says Hernandez and Estrada have withdrawn.

[Baron von Schtinkenbutt]

Where did you see that? Wikipedia and Ballotopedia both still show them as in, and their campaign websites show no indication of a withdrawal.

[Valmy]

"Withdrawing", as in they are not longer actively running, and actually being off the ballot are different things. I think once you are on the ballot, you are on the ballot.

Voting Mamdani of course. The idea that actually doing something to solve NYC's problems is some kind of radical communism just shows how deranged the politics of this country have become. None of his recommendations would have been seen as particularly outrageous back in the New Deal or Great Society era.

[Josquius]

I based who I included here purely based on who wikipedia said would be on the ballot.
And added the personification of New York City for fun.

And for me yes. From what I've seen of Mamdani he sounds potentially really rather great....  though of course there is the worry that this is obvious to MAGA too so if he wins they will do everything they can to crush NYC and pin it on him.

Also love that the guy who looks like a communist revolutionary isn't the left winger.

[The Brain]

Which one personifies New York?

[Admiral Yi]

Ah, confused by the layout.  Withdrawn is *above* the person's name, not below.

Fucking Quinnipiac.

[Duque de Bragança]

Rua Sésamo wins my vote, obviously.

[Baron von Schtinkenbutt]

Which one personifies New York?

[The Minsky Moment]

Which one personifies New York?

Sliwa.

But I wouldn't make him mayor.
