New York Mayor Election - Vote for Mamdani

[Shishir99]

Elon Musk posted a picture of a ballot paper and said:

The New York City ballot form is a scam!

- No ID is required
- Other mayoral candidates appear twice
- Cuomo’s name is last in the bottom right

Several people already answered him like this:

1. NYC doesn't have voter ID laws  

2. In New York, the state, multiple parties can endorse the same candidate, so some can appear multiple times. Sliwa, the Republican, is also listed twice!

3. Eric Adams is on the ballot because he dropped out too late  

4. Cuomo lost the primary, and ran as an indy, and ballots list major party candidates first  

Maybe you don't like the rules. Fine. But posting this stuff on X with zero context makes people think there is fraud or cheating. These are just the rules being applied to candidates evenly.

Elon should be worried about his Doge coin holding instead of who will be the New York Mayor.


BTW, look at this

Mamdani is Muslim.

Islam is a government as well as a religion.

A vote for any Muslim is a vote for a different government right it the United States.

Well done New York!

Mamdani is Muslim.
-cut-

Maybe you get a refreshing viewpoint now. Because being governed by someone who believes in a deity, that we don't believe in, isn't anything new to atheists.

Religion doesn't really matter. What matter is where they stand in politics and and if they are personally able to fit in secular nation.
Meanwhile maga-hats have been pushing their weird and distorted Christian nationalism over secularism.

I totally understand why this would offend people, because voting for someone who hasn't done sexual assaults against kids or women is not what MAGA-hats do. (Too bad these kind of lists are mountain of work to update)

Politics is the craziest thing in the world. Time and time again people fail.

To this day people believe there are icebergs in Portugal, may as well believe in Santa Claus.

These are members of the Satmar community, who are strongly anti-Zionist. They do not recognize Israel as legitimate. Mamdani never said he hates Jews, so I don’t see why it would be a big deal that he campaigned for their vote.

We will see what his actual policies are once he is sworn in. Ideally, he should do everything within his power to divest the city from Israel. His priority should be the people of New York, which wasn’t always the case with previous mayors, who took direct orders from their Zionist billionaire funders.

This the problem with politics it is all about interest and the politicians brew on this divided interests of the people exploiting it to achieve their personal ambitions.

I can not imagine an advance world where selections of candidates for electoral positions are still rooted on religious grounds and race by citizens who should be concerned about choosing a decent leader that genuinely have the common interest of the development of all the constituent, with the people's unity as a priority than having someone elected base on religion affiliations.

New York has too much regulation. You already know for example they have so many licensing requirements for crypto companies that most just elect to just stop serving customers in the state.

A lot of these quirks are because New York and lots of other states don't really take the time to streamline their legislation. Government in a nutshell.
