    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.

    One, two, three! Three candidates, ah ah ah!

    Or are you saying that candidates with no government experience don’t count? Because then I must ask how Hillary Clinton managed to lose a presidential election where she was the only candidate.

      So you’re saying that there were three candidates running and all three were Socialists?

      And yes, quoting a Sesame Street character certainly makes me think that you are a knowledgeable commenter.

      And I’ll repeat the original comment.

      Mamdani got fewer total votes than Harris got in New York City. Harris got 65% of New York City’s votes, and Mamdani got 51%.

        No I’m saying you’re comparing a three way choice with a two way choice, which is not a valid comparison. Can’t make it simpler than that.
