Good morning, Mastodon. We have a Democratic Socialist as the prevailing mayoral candidate for NYC mayor. Feels good. Feels pretty fucking good.

A key part of the New York City mayoral races was Ranked Choice Voting.
I'm not seeing many news articles mention this yet (correct me if I'm wrong though!).
Ranked choice let's us vote first for who we actually want.... and then put in backup votes for "good enough" candidates and allows us to compromise and find common ground.
It destroys the concepts of "lesser of two evils" and "throwing away your vote".
I hope we see Ranked Choice voting everywhere.
Speaking as someone who is Jewish, Paul Krugman addresses attacks on Zohran Mamdani as an antisemite:
"I’m Jewish, and anyone who knows their history realizes that whenever right-wing bigotry is on the ascendant, we’re always next in line. Are there really people out there naïve enough to believe MAGA’s claims to be against antisemitism, who can’t see the transparent cynicism and dishonesty?"

#Trump said Tuesday he would arrest #ZohranMamdani if the #NYC Democratic mayoral nominee doesn't allow federal #immigration officials to arrest undocumented #immigrants in the city.
