Yep, some people hate muslims, socialism, stuff like that.
10 bucks says a lot of that was bum-ass ~~east jersey~~ Staten island.
It’s hilarious as a Canadian, I’ve never been to NY but all the way back to watching shows like Seinfeld and other shows from back in the day based in NY, they all talk about Staten Island like it’s a whole different breed of crazy over there.
Staten Island is NYC’s trailer park.
(And they actually have a trailer park. Yes, there is technically a trailer park within NYC limits.)
Staten Island so crazy that R* didn't know how to make fun of it in GTA IV and just left it out.
Ay, shut it. Jersey remains solid blue. Everyone thought Jersey was going to be a close race and then it wasn't.
Read my comment again, bud.
Typical jersey, always gotta be the center of attention. 😂
I’d also wager a number of republicans voted for Cuomo to try and block Mamdani
NYC has rank choice voting, so that doesn't work
That's only for the primaries. For this round, you had to pick one.
Only in the primary, not in the general election.
Why the fuck would they do that?!? Is changing that one of his campaign promises?
I don't know why, but if I had to guess, because it was easier to get the amendment to the city charter passed if they excluded the general election. Once they prove it works maybe it will be easier to expand the scope.
I haven't heard him mention it, but I bet he would be in favor of it.
