The FBI is part of the deep state, so clearly this is a sham investigation.

Am I doing it right, Republicans?

Because ranked choice isn't a panacea and whatever problems people think it fixes doesn't take into account new problems it creates.

All these weird buffoons that are clearly stupid but got elected anyway this last election cycle getting busted has been very funny. Im sure Hershel walker would have been the same story if he managed to win

Does kind of make you wonder. You've got George Santos, and now whatever the fuck is going on here. Factor in the Jets, Giants and Knicks and it's looking muy malo.

Who was even running? All I remember is Andrew Yang being in the lead for a bit before massively fucking up and then Eric Adams winning.

His campaign seems to have received illegal funding from Turkish governmental officials.

No one good really. I think the actress from Sex and the City might have been the least worst candidate there

And God chose him to be the mayor of NYC. He also calls it "his" city. Dumb bitch hasn't done anything good for this place.

People went for him because" he was tough on crime." Well...we are seeing not that tough on crime with all the crimes he did himself...ugh.

New Yorkers seem to fall for that trope more than anywhere else. It's what got Giuliani elected.

Gym Jordan's moronic House hearings on NYC crime ended when they inadvertently showed that NYC's crime rates are lower than Columbus and Dayton, Ohio. No fentanyl crisis like Ohio's either.

Yeah, there's definitely been a lot of shady stuff surrounding Adams.

That was for NY governor and was 5 years ago.

The last mayoral one had tons, but the main ones were

Democrat primary
Garcia - Backed mostly by rich white people from Manhattan. She was the progressive choice.
Wiley - Mostly backed by Brooklyn and Queens transplants
Adams - Backed mostly by Black, Hispanic and Asian people in East Brooklyn, The Bronx and Queens.
Yang - Mostly Asian people in Brooklyn and Queens.

Republican candidate
Silwa - Backed mostly by blue collar white people from Staten Island.

When it was finally Adams vs Silwa, most of the city obviously voted for Adams.

Fall for what? His voters all live in the high crime areas of NYC. The safest areas all went for Garcia or Wiley. The same just happened in Philly with Cherelle Parker as the new mayor.

Apparently this is the conspiracy...

Are the feds targeting Eric Adams because he criticized Joe Biden?

Ranked choice often leads to everyone's second or third choice ending up elected.
