Well yeah, he wants a pardon
Eric Adams makes me root for the FBI
Never heard of Eric Adams. Is he a fascist?
[edit] Oh… THAT Eric Adams. When does he get voted out of office?
Current mayor of New York. Indicted on bribery and corruption charges.
This guy was elected by rank choice voting, folks.
Denser than plutonium in a lead case on this particular take man.
Why do you seem to assume that RCV doesn’t require options that aren’t terrible and an educated electorate?
It’s not some magical solution to our problems. If the choices are shit, you still end up with shit, it’s just ranked shit.
Cool… And?
Are you suggesting the math doesn’t work in RCV, or that the other choices were worse and they dodged bullets by using RCV?
RCV doesn’t achieve better results than our current system because they elected Eric Adams who didn’t even live in NYC at the time and is now under criminal investigation. I’m more than willing to wait to see more results from RCV elections before completely damning it, but I have low expectations. Corruption almost always win. That’s the main problem.
What’s that have to do with anything?
He was elected by all the locally based media conducting a counterfactual campaign of manufacturing a violent crime crisis and convincing the people of New York that only a cop or a vigilante could save them.
Given that it worked and Sliwa is an absolute maniac and a Republican in a New York election, the fascist cop (but I repeat myself) would have won regardless of the type of voting.
Hopefully the people of New York will be less credulous the next time the billionaire owned media tries to wag the dog, but I doubt it.
