Yang should get in the ring.

Uhhh Yang, you alright there buddy?

Is this an endorsement or an anti-endorsement? I have heard more bad than good about Amy.

Yang will be the next Mayor.

That's my prediction and I am sticking with it.

It's possible, but RCV makes a Yang victory much less likely than if the old system was still in effect.

Yang could probably have gotten to the old-style runoff just on name rec alone. But RCV means people who don't like Yang/don't think he's experienced enough can coordinate in a way that would probably prevent him from getting 50% plus 1

This is a relatively small constituency.

You're just flat out wrong

Yang is a chill dude, he has massive crossover appeal.

Based on what, exactly?

I'm telling you as a New Yorker active in political circles that there is a very large segment of average voters and people of relevance that dislike Yang.

Those people sound like losers and dweebs. You should look for other circles.

You should look for other websites

I agree, this one sucks. Not a lot of smart people here besides bronz and John Dule
