Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
Other data of note:
Mamdani continues to go beastmode with young people, putting up regime numbers with a 73% vote share of the under 29 demographic, and a still commanding 62% of voters between the ages of 30 and 44
Amongst all candidates, a plurality of voters believe Mamdani has best addressed the Israel-Palestinian conflict
How long til we see the ratfucking that happened to sanders in 2020 when all the Obama called all the liberal ghoul candidates and got them to drop out/form a voltron with sleepy joe?
If someone leans hard enough on 2 out of the 3 main opponents, according to this poll then the remaining one might just about scrape over the line.
Of course not all the voters would jump over but who knows. Certainly would be closer than it is now lol
It’s already too late for them to remove their names from the ballot, as the deadline has passed last week. So they will appear on the ballot regardless. Assuming the polls are right, and you really shouldn’t make that assumption, as Mamdani dramatically overperformed polling by >20% in many cases and 30% in a few other polls in the primary, their names appearing on the ballot alone in combination with their name recognition should be enough to stop them from overtaking Mamdani.
The only way to remove their names from the ballot would be an extremely dramatic process that includes moving out of the state of New York to make their appearance on the ballot literally illegal and then all of them successfully fighting that in court individually and winning before ballots are printed, which will be quite soon.
Thanks for the info
I'm expecting it. Might even be Obama again 🙄 Or maybe Biden this time.
