I can vote for two candidates – Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander, who made the climate of the cornerstone of his companies, with real hopes that this or that will prevail.
I was lucky as a young reporter to end up in America, which covers the election in a single city who chose his leaders through the vote (RCV). It was … a long time ago, and so everything happened on the paper: the Cambridge voters listed the candidates for city advisers, sometimes twenty or more, in order, and then during the week the elderly ladies teams were physically distributed around the high school gymnasium. Since the candidate X with the smallest number of votes of the first place was disqualified, they would carry his ballots to the pile of the candidate listed the second, and so on, as long as the winner remains.
All this is going on the computer now, in the blunt. But it remains a great system. Usually, people protect it for the right reasons you can vote for a third-party candidate without losing their voice to eliminate them, your newsletter will go to your next favorite choice. But there is also the benefit that two good, but such candidates – the problem of Bernie/Warren – did not share a progressive vote.
I have long left the New York for the Northern Mountains, but I continue to stick to its policies, largely because they are so important to the world. For example, a huge public pension fund in the city has been used in recent years to help promote climate change more skillfully than most such tools, and I would like it to continue. And New York space and dynamism in New York means that it is a great place to help fight for changes: for example, current efforts to repair large buildings to make them more effective, shows the rest of the country that can be done.
So I am very glad that New York has RCV, which means that you can vote for two candidates who have made the climate of the cornerstone of their companies, with real hopes that one or another will prevail. Zohran Mammani, a young progressive, which seems to consolidate the left voices, headed the fight against the fixed gas power plant in the native lawn. He didn’t just say the right words – he mobilized the impressive fight to do it.
Meanwhile, Brad Lander, who was last month, made something unprofitable, standing to BlackRock, which is, in fact, the same as the capitalism. According to him, the financial giants needed to do some very specific things to start resorting to the climatic crisis, otherwise they will be without hundreds of billions of New York – this is finally a blue state equivalent that has been carried out over the past few years that have been intimidated by financial states. (Axle Financial times > Witness to the global meaning of his courage).
What I say is when your interest is a planet, both candidates should recommend them. Probably I would have voted Lander 1 and Mammdani 2 because I most like big money in nuts; Maybe when I entered the cabin, I would switch the two on the grounds that younger. Perhaps I would have argued which On (a few sentimental) grounds that it is difficult to imagine a New York without at least one representative of the liberal Jewish heritage that has been done so much for all of us, or the slightly prudence that the great bureaucracy of New York can be less intimidated by those who spent more time.
Current Issue
The fact is that New York has less painful choice than most of us in these situations. They should not pretend that they have no two wonderful candidates (and in fact a few others). But remember – you don’t need to rank more candidates than you want. You also enjoy leaving Eric Adams and Andrew Kuom from your newsletter, satisfying (and electoral) disk that is too few American voters privileged.
The slow spread of RCV is one of the rings we can throw to try to save our national drowning policies. While enjoying it, you’ll be lucky New York!
