Bill Ackman posted a thread about running a better candidate against Mamdani. He suggests a write-in candidate but I’m not sure that would garner enough support. What do you think?

I awoke this morning gravely concerned about New York City. I thought “What has NYC become that an avowed socialist who has supported defunding the police, whose solution to lowering food prices is city-owned supermarkets, who doesn’t understand that freezing rents will only

I actually thought Tyler Winklevoss had one of the more interesting takes on the mayoral election. The answer might not be “a better candidate.” It might be letting NYC learn the hard way what happens when ideology outpaces reality.

A lot of people have asked me if I will get involved in the NYC mayor race by supporting a candidate that can defeat Zohran Mamdani. TBH, I’m torn and undecided. Like every other city run by democrats, NYC is a broken kleptocracy. Taxes are astronomical and services are pathetic

yeah I mean adams has his issues so I get  it but i still think he is better than a write in. If there is a way to get on the ballot that’s a different story and I’m sure there’s a better candidate than Adams.

Offering up a campaign apparatus and at minimum, tens of millions of dollars for a write in is crazy when there’s an independent incumbent — I wonder if that means he just doesn’t think he can win

You can throw a billion dollars at an opposing candidate but once the people mobilise behind a popular leader then there’s not stopping it.
