Everyone knew it....
But there's a shit ton of rich people in NYC. So it's easy for them to "donate" in both primaries and ensure that no matter what happens in the general, it'll be a choice between two assholes.
Fwiw the mayoral election that resulted in Eric Adams was ranked choice.
Yes, but he was already the Brooklyn Borough President. He had a built in base of support that was larger than others'. This is basically Brooklyn's fault.
He didn't even live there, he lived in NJ. Reporters went to his "home" in BK and asked "where are all your clothes?" and "if you're vegan, why is there meat in the fridge?" It was clearly his son's place.
But it was more than that. He was also running as the only Democratic candidate to not "defund the police".
His veto is following what he ran on.
In NYC, "defund the police" means "don't give them a handy with the $100K in overtime for playing Candy Crush".
The problem is not all voters hear that.
