In First past the poll, this makes sense. But I don't get the value of it in RCV.

Any case, as progressives, it's not surprising that the establishment Democrats will do everything to try and stop him from winning. I suspect they even try to railroad him if he wins. But I hope they can fight against this and connect to working class voters on the fundamentals. Its simple, sincere, and honest.

Edit: okay, the general election is FPTP. Both of the men self centered and arrogant, but I think they each have their price. I wouldn't be surprised if a month before the ballots are mailed, one drops out.

This election was over the minute that NYC billionaires offered a blank check to a new candidate and no one took the offer. The fact that the two lamest opponents possible are still his main opposition certainly makes it look like he will sweep this election handsomely, even if Adams and Cuomo dont split the conservative moron vote

They're going to spend millions smearing his name, calling him a terrorist, and making up lies through PAC's. I don't know if it will work, but damn if they aren't gonna try.
