Well Cuomo and Adams are just going to run independent campaigns, so those gutless shits will get "non-Republicans" to vote for.

Funniest outcome is a Republican winning because of all the votes getting split.

So..they’re doing a protest vote? Yeah, NYC has ranked choice but knowing libs they would probably rank Sliwa over Mamdani.

“A vote for Cuomo’s third party is a vote for Sliwa!”

Extreme power play to vote for only one candidate when you have RCV

I thought that NYC only had ranked choice for primaries? And the actual election was just "guy who has the most votes"

Ah, I could be mistaken. So yeah, we would probably see “the progressive case for Curtis Sliwa” articles all over.

Liberals don't want power.

They only want to endlessly critique it.
