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!

Maybe him saying "barely" is hyperbole, but a candidate as good as Mandami only being 9 points ahead of an openly corrupt rapist without official support from a party in New York of all places doesn't fill me with hope going forward.
9 points is a ton. That's the kind of margin you get gerrymandering a district to hell. That means you won the election, and very probably the next one too
Red and blue states are the color they are by like a 5 point tilt in either direction
This was a fight between two Democratic candidates - this was the neo-liberal uniparty vs progressives
9 points is very, very meaningful in this context
He is a muslim democratic socialist that was unkown a year ago. You don't realize how much people fear islam taking control or socialism to take control. 8% lead is really impressive
Something something New York terrorism
Yeah that's kind of my point, some 40% of people in New York would still rather vote for the rapist because racism against Muslims and socialism fearmongering
It is more complex than that. The usa is a very individualistic country. People think mostly about themselves before others. So in many of the people who voted for Cuomo they said I would rather vote for a sex offender then a muslim who will implement sharia law and make their lives unlivable which is of course a rediculous thing to think about
I also though your point was that Mamdani winning by 8% is not imperessive
