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!

MODERATORS
He has vowed to run as an independent so he could still win, because the general election will not be ranked choice.
Yeah, but I don't see Cuomo winning over Mamdani. Mamdani beat Cuomo on first round voting and likely was going to pick up many second+ round votes.
The only way Cuomo wins is if he can steal a lot of Adams's votes, which I doubt.
It's weird to me that there are parties associated with Mayoral candidates. Is this true for all cities in Murca?
Not all. The mayor of Dallas does not represent a party. Which made it curious when the current mayor switched from a Democrat to a Republican.
So they can run as independents but typically they're in some party or other. So strange to me since they should be locally-focused.
Yes, effectively every office from Sheriff to even judges. If there is an election the candidates list their party affiliation. Sometimes resulting in funny stuff like this: https://apnews.com/article/e1580367018108b09755dfb994395c0a
Near me, city council positions are all at-large, and political affiliations, if any, aren't mentioned anywhere, not in promotional materials or on campaign websites.
Lol, thanks for sharing that
No but kind of yes, there are partisan elections and non partisan elections. The Hatch Act (which applies to every federal employee including a letter carrier) states they cannot be involved in any partisan elections. Which currently means almost every election now.
Non partisan elections used to be much more common in the past, but the major parties over the years (mostly Republicans) pushed it to where there are very few non partisan elections. Even school committee seat elections in my town are partisan, and because of that my local letter carrier couldn't participate even with their massive involvement in the community.
Wait, do you mean the postal workers can't campaign for someone or they can't vote? Where is the line between participating and influencing?
Also I see endorsements all the time, are none of those endorsers federal employees?
