"Vote Blue No Matter Who!!"
Funny how that is only a thing when they're running a "practically a Republican" 'Democrat' and not when someone who's actually a leftist starts getting some approval.

All these years later and he still doesn't understand that no means no.

“While Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams trip over themselves, to make deals in back rooms with billionaires, we are focused on fighting for working New Yorkers,” Mamdani said Monday flanked by members of the city’s American Federation of Musicians Local 802. “We are focused on the very people who make this city what it is and who are being pushed out of it.” And he replied to Cuomo’s video on X with a link to donate to his own campaign.
Idk if the link under the billionaire abuser's video was Mamdani's idea or his campaign, but of the three candidates' excerpted quotes in the article, I know which is more inspiring.
This is fucking amazing.
E: The ratio.... - https://xcancel.com/ZohranKMamdani/status/1944832025652871492
I see a lot of people saying "the ratio" or "epic ratio"
In this context, what does "ratio" mean?
Ratio most often means to get a larger amount of likes than the person you're responding to. Mamdani ratioed Cuomo because he got more likes than the original post

Could someone explain what's happening to a non-american? I was under the impression that this Madmani gentleman had already won the mayoral race. Are they having another election for something else??
In addition to what the others said here, it's worth knowing that despite all the manufactured contention around this race, Mamdani is heavily favored to win no matter who else enters the final race. The news and youtubers love to find the edge-case weirdos and hype up the drama around it being "BATTLE OF THE CENTURY" because our country's brains have collectively oozed out our ears.
We have elections over who will be the candidate for each party called Primaries. Mamdani won the primary for the democratic party.
Cuomo is now saying that although he lost to Mamdani in the primary, he's going to run independent of parties.
This is pissing people off for a few reasons.
One of the biggest reasons though, we've had years where we were told to, "Vote Blue No Matter Who" because undeniably the republicans are worse. Now that an actual leftist won their primary though, Cuomo (a long time democrat) is now spoiling the vote by running independently.
This is following a billionare stating he'll give millions to anyone who has a shot of beating Mamdani.
It definitely appears Cuomo would rather have a republican win than to let a leftist win.
Can there be multiple independents? As in, those who got neither the dem or rep nominations, but still want to run in the general election, do they all end up on the general ballot, or will ll they have to face each other in a semi-primary first?
Yes, and they are not required to run in a primary because those are run by each party (being independent means you don't have a party to begin with)
There's no limit (AFAIK) to the number of candidates on the ballot, but there is a deadline to file and that deadline has passed. Cuomo had preemptively filed as an independent candidate in case he didn't win the primary (I think Mamdani did this too), but had not publicly stated whether he would use it until now.
In some places in the US (I've never lived in NY, so I'm not sure if it applies there) when you file as an independent candidate, you have to produce a petition with a certain number of signatures with your paperwork.
This generally limits the number of crazy uncles who can appear on the ballot.
