NYC dem voters decided that a Muslim Socialist who supports human rights (including trans rights) will be its Democratic candidate in the November mayoral election instead of the corrupt sexual harasser favored by the rich.
I love my city when it chooses to be this awesome.
Thank you Ari Melber for referring to Zohran #Mamdani as "a proud liberal" instead of tarring him w/the wildly ignorant label of "socialist," as so many others have.
Even Fox News at least 1x accurately referred to him as a Democratic Socialist.
And there is a BIG diff.
A key part of the New York City mayoral races was Ranked Choice Voting.
I'm not seeing many news articles mention this yet (correct me if I'm wrong though!).
Ranked choice let's us vote first for who we actually want.... and then put in backup votes for "good enough" candidates and allows us to compromise and find common ground.
It destroys the concepts of "lesser of two evils" and "throwing away your vote".
I hope we see Ranked Choice voting everywhere.
holy fuck I know it was just a primary but if NYC manages to not fuck up a mayoral election I'll be pleasantly surprised

The #NYC mayoral election demonstrates that (a) #antisemitism is no longer a hurdle to holding office, even in the most #Jewish city in the country; (b) sexual harassment has finally become unpalatable to voters; or, (c) all of the above.
#ZohranMamdani 's policies will (mostly) not bring abundance to #NYC https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/zohran-mamdanis-policies-will-mostly
Hello #fediverse! This is GBH #News bringing you the world from #Boston. It's 93F at Logan Airport and visibility is 10mi.
Zohran Mamdami scored a convincing win in #NYC 's Democratic mayoral primary, winning by 7% over former Gov. Cuomo.
Former Republican Sen. Scott Brown announces he will run again in NH at a time when the Democratic lead in that chamber is very slim.
On this day in 1963, pop star George Michael was born.
Yes, cities cut carbon!
NYers have ½ to ⅓ the CO₂ per capital of the comparable household in the suburban single-family house, for all the obvious reasons.
Smaller apartments, fewer cars. Density, efficiency, the works.

Huh. Ranked choice voting works.
So did Cuomo stay in his daughter's Manhattan apartment last night, or did he drive home to Westchester after giving his concession speech?

Terrifying alert from Fox News

[New York Magazine]: Inside Mamdani’s Triumph and Cuomo’s Humiliation The front-runner couldn’t see what was coming.By David Freedlander
The winner of NYC's Democratic mayoral primary, Zohran Mamdani’s net worth is estimated at $200K, primarily from a $142K state salary and land in Uganda.

The coverage of the NYC primary, in which Zohran Mamdani is leading, makes me think that journalists wrote explainers about the ranked voting and then completely forgot about it.
***You don't know that Mamdani has won, even if he's leading in first-position votes!***
With ranked voting, it's not uncommon that the first-round leader ends up not winning. Take a look at page 9 of this PDF, the voting stats for last year's Hugo Awards:
https://www.thehugoawards.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/2024_hugo_statistics.pdf
In this vote for Best Novella, SEEDS OF MERCURY leads the first round with 881 votes, and the eventual winner THORNHEDGE only has 593 votes. But as No Award and the lower candidates get eliminated, SEEDS OF MERCURY's vote total doesn't shift much while THORNHEDGE's just keeps climbing.
In the NYC election, it's certainly plausible that the 11% of votes for Brad Lander will have Mamdani as the second choice and put Mamdani over 50%, but you don't know that for sure! He shouldn't be declaring victory, and Cuomo shouldn't be conceding.
