This piece seems premised on the idea that better campaign tactics would have won the race for a guy that resigned in disgrace and didn’t live in the city. Maybe the problem was just him and his shitty insider politics.

“The turnout model targeted key districts and constituencies and the campaign met those turnout goals — and got more votes than Eric Adams did four years ago,” she said. “However, Mamdani ran a campaign that managed to expand the electorate in such a way that no turnout model or poll was able to capture, while the rest of the field collapsed.”

Can we please, please stop with this asinine “I got more votes than the guy in the last election” bullshit? It’s irrelevant and Trumpy as fuck. The electorate is still growing in the U.S., so of course you can get more votes and still lose, as there are simply more voters.

Raw numbers mean nothing in an election. Percentages do.

Hes a piece of shit that runs on “not being republican”, even though that in and of itself is practically a lie. Fucker sure walks like a duck
