NYC's mayoral primary used ranked choice voting: How it works NYC is using ranked choice voting in its Democratic mayoral primary election, a system that takes some explaining. Here’s how it works.

Voters in NYC have spoken clearly: pro-worker policies are winning policies, and they've chosen a card-carrying Democratic Socialist to run against the Republican nominee and incumbent Eric Adams, a Democrat now running as an independent this November. (🧵5/5)

Though they'll continue tabulating those second- and third-choice votes until July 1st, Mamdani has a strong first-round lead with 43.5%; his runner-up, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, has already conceded. (🧵4/5)

"Ranked choice voting is based on a simple premise: Democracy works better if people aren’t forced to make an all-or-nothing choice with their vote."

If no candidate has a majority, they'll eliminate the one in last and count their voters' next choices, and so forth until one has over 50%. (🧵3/5)

In NYC's mayoral primary, voters get to pick their FIVE favorite candidates, ranking them from most to least preferred.

This means, rather than having to vote for who they think is most likely to win, they can pick who they ACTUALLY support without having to worry about "splitting the vote." (🧵2/5)

So, Zohran Mamdani just won the Democratic primary for NYC’s next mayor.

In light of this victory for grassroots movements in NYC and around the country, let’s talk about the system that New Yorkers used to elect him: ranked-choice voting! (🧵1/5)

🚨 RAPID RESPONSE ‼️

This is a dangerous abuse of power. And we refuse to be silent. Ours and future generations will not inherit a world shaped by warlords in suits. We will organize. We will resist. And we will build something better.

50501MI stands with the people, not the empire.
[8/8]

We demand:
- An immediate end to U.S. aggression against Iran.
- Full Congressional hearings to stop unauthorized military actions.
- A recommitment to diplomacy, de-escalation, and international cooperation.
[7/8]

Young people, working people, and communities across this country have had enough of watching their futures sacrificed at the altar of militarism.
[6/8]

50501MI stands unequivocally against endless war. We are a coalition of Americans who believe in peace, restraint, and a foreign policy based on real justice, not mere domination.
[5/8]

There is no long-term strategy, no Congressional authorization, and certainly no public mandate. Just bombs.
[4/8]

This is the same man who torched the Iran nuclear deal in 2018, which was an agreement that was working, preventing war, and promoting diplomacy. Now Trump is back, fueling escalation in the Middle East by greenlighting strikes that risk dragging the U.S. into a full-blown regional conflict.
[3/8]

We forcefully condemns President Donald Trump’s decision to launch airstrikes on Iran. We’re watching an imperial president bypass Congress to plunge the United States into another reckless, unnecessary war, one that serves nobody but defense contractors and power-hungry politicians.
[2/8]

🚨 OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM 50501MI
Trump’s Bombing of Iran Is Reckless. The People Say: No More Wars.

6•19•25 - Juneteenth Alt text: A graphic with a cream-colored background and bold red text at the top reading “19 JUNE FREEDOM DAY.” Below it is a row of hearts in red, yellow, green, and black. The main text reads: “On June 19, 1865, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas were finally told they were free. Over 250,000 people waited far too long for freedom they had already been granted. Juneteenth is a day to honor Black freedom, resilience, and joy—and to recommit to the fight against all systems that keep any of us from liberation. Because no one is free until we all are free.” Another row of colorful hearts appears below the text. At the bottom, it says “- 50501MI” in bold red text.

Juneteenth ❤️💛💚🖤
