    So you’re saying that there were three candidates running and all three were Socialists?

    And yes, quoting a Sesame Street character certainly makes me think that you are a knowledgeable commenter.

    And I’ll repeat the original comment.

    Mamdani got fewer total votes than Harris got in New York City. Harris got 65% of New York City’s votes, and Mamdani got 51%.

      No I’m saying you’re comparing a three way choice with a two way choice, which is not a valid comparison. Can’t make it simpler than that.

        Just because you made it simple doesn’t mean you made it right.

        If there’s a multiple choice test, it doesn’t matter how many wrong answers there are, there is only one right answer.

        People had a chance to vote for a DSA candidate and most either stayed home or voted for the other guys.

        I’ll cheerfully admit that Mamdani has done a great job and will almost certainly get reelected easily.
