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
Do you have to win a majority? Plurality? Ranked choice?
Just a plurality in NY, but getting the majority means republicans can’t use Sliwa not dropping out as an excuse.
The latest copium they’re smoking is that Sliwa not dropping out convinced potential Cuomo voters not to show up. They think all Sliwa’s voters would have gone to Cuomo, plus a bunch more non-voters would have surely shown up.
Anyone’s fault but the sex pest, I suppose.
What definetly helped was Trump's last minute endorsement of Cuomo. I'm sure that swung a few voters to Mandami
Never mind Cuomo's weird threat of "elect me or Trump will invade the city", like he was already gonna do that either way my dude.
When you're furloughed from your federal job, you have time to vote
As a former federal worker, you always have time to vote. It's one of the given benefits. IIRC you can 2 hours of paid leave on election day to go vote
Yep, you remembered correctly
Day off to vote needs to be mandatory
Was Virginia one of the states that was going to heavily redistrict? I wonder if this affects that.
I haven't heard anything about redistricting from sweater vest but it might have been talked about with other repubs. ~~I doubt VA will do the redistricting thing to carve up more seats, but I wouldn't mind being surprised by Spanberger.~~
Edit: I just read they have 3 main agendas this time: protecting same sex marriage, eshrining abortion rights in an amendment, and passing redistricting reform that would then get voted on by the people.
I think I was confused with another state. Virginia is heavily dem and is looking to redistrict to oppose Texas and others.
