Mamdani was running against Andrew Cuomo, who had to resign as NY Governor after being outed as a sexual predator. The GOP candidate was Curtis Silwa, a radio shock jock with zero government experience.

One, two, three! Three candidates, ah ah ah!

Or are you saying that candidates with no government experience don't count? Because then I must ask how Hillary Clinton managed to lose a presidential election where she was the only candidate.

So you're saying that there were three candidates running and all three were Socialists?

And yes, quoting a Sesame Street character certainly makes me think that you are a knowledgeable commenter.

And I'll repeat the original comment.

Mamdani got fewer total votes than Harris got in New York City. Harris got 65% of New York City's votes, and Mamdani got 51%.

No I'm saying you're comparing a three way choice with a two way choice, which is not a valid comparison. Can't make it simpler than that.

Just because you made it simple doesn't mean you made it right.

If there's a multiple choice test, it doesn't matter how many wrong answers there are, there is only one right answer.

People had a chance to vote for a DSA candidate and most either stayed home or voted for the other guys.

I'll cheerfully admit that Mamdani has done a great job and will almost certainly get reelected easily.
