[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree about Mamdani. I cannot take a chance with him. And the more I hear from him, the less I like him.

I also can't take Cuomo. But of the two, I have to take Cuomo. It pains me.

Unfortunately, none of the other candidates are viable. No one wants to run the biggest city in the world. And most of the lower level politicians are also awful.

I wish Garcia had won last time.[/quote]

Again, I'd really encourage anyone who feels this way to take a look at [url=https://www.youtube.com/shorts/9PGRcuuBktc]Brad Lander[/url] - most recent polls suggest he's extremely viable and probably the closest thing to a Garcia equivalent in this race (Garcia was behind Wiley in first-place votes but managed to pull ahead in the next-to-last round thanks to picking up more votes from eliminated candidates like Yang), bolstered by that cross-endorsement with Mamdani. It's also still conceivable Adrienne Adams could have a late break-out - pulling ahead of Lander in the 3rd-from-last round and then picking up most of his votes - so you might consider ranking her too.

If Lander's cross-endorsement with Mamdani is a dealbreaker for you but Cuomo's MAGA donor list is not, then I would start to doubt the sincerity of your statement that you don't like Cuomo.

Also, this is ranked choice voting, so you can support one or more of these "non viable" candidates while still ultimately voting for Cuomo over Mamdani, if you feel strongly that Cuomo would be an acceptable mayor and Mamdani wouldn't. Rank 4 other candidates ahead of Cuomo - hopefully one of them being Lander - and then rank Cuomo 5th; if the final round comes down to Cuomo versus Mamdani you'll still be voting to stop Mamdani, but in the earlier rounds you'll be helping to increase the chances of somebody other than those two becoming mayor.[/quote]
