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.

The Democratic Party WILL rig the general election. Hell, they’ll probably work with Republicans to get their candidate in over Mamdani.

Who owns the machines? Is the software audited? Are there tabulation servers involved?

I don't know if they'll rig the actual vote directly but the DNC will most certainly spend hundreds of millions to make him look like the devil incarnate leading up to the election even if it means getting a Republican in office. They already did this in 2016 and 2024.

To be fair: The Democratic Party isn't a viable political engine for positive social change or a working-class agenda. If Cuomo wins it will be yet another example of how untrustworthy, hypocritical, and vapid Blue No Matter Who voting habits are.

Remember when mods coordinated to ban any criticism of BNMW / Blue Maga from all the major subs during 2024? How they the cultivated a community of briggading, sea-lioning, etc.. to try and suppress any criticism of an approach to politics that was obviously going to hand the country to Trump?

Won’t work. Democrats are like any other voting group: they stick with their party, no matter the majority candidate. Because losing to the enemy is worse than losing to an infra-party faction. This is how Trump got elected twice. It’ll happen again, because people are predictable.

He's just hoping that enough people vote for him that it'll split the vote and that Adams will win. They're liberals, they'd rather literal fascists win than leftists.

“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.
