    Yes, I was referring to the NYC vote.

    I thought that would be obvious, but apparently some folks need more explanation

    Thanks for replying to them.

      Yeah no that wasn’t very clear. Still it’s a very misleading (or ill thought out) argument. As others have pointed out, you’re comparing apples and oranges here because the races had different number of realistic options for the electorate to choose from.

        Actually, it’s an either/or option.

        Either you vote for the Democratic Socialist, or you don’t.

        Mamdani was running against Andrew Cuomo, who had to resign as NY Governor after being outed as a sexual predator. The GOP candidate was Curtis Silwa, a radio shock jock with zero government experience.

        If there was a big Socialist majority in New York, it chose to stay home.

        And exactly one person couldn’t figure out what I was talking about, so I think it’s more on them than I what I wrote.
