      That probably does something to it as well, but ok then change it to “I can’t believe that he was actually elected”.

          I don’t take anything for granted in North America. We just elected the most obviously corrupt person to be mayor of Montréal and even the total left/right votes between the four major parties skewed significantly right because we’re stupid as hell.

            I think in any healthy society he would have crushed with like 70% of the vote but he barely won which is pretty sad.

              Against his competion a healthy society would have looked at Cuomo and thrown him in the fucking garbage and Mamdani would have gotten 90%. Ya’ll gotta raise your standards, even if you don’t raise your expectations.
