I ran The City matchmaker a couple of different ways (once with my preferred positions and once with positions I could live with) and in both cases Adams was a distant third to Yang and Garcia in that 3-way match up. So there may be no difference between them on education, but in other areas Adams stands out. If I can help defeat him when all acceptable candidates are gone - it's a long shot but worth a try - then I'll place Yang or Garcia as my 5th choice.

That means only unacceptable candidates will be left and you cannot hurt them by withholding a vote - one of them will win - so why not pick the least horrible of them? <br /><br />Worst thing that can happen with regard to your vote is nothing (the least horrible could already be eliminated by the time it gets to your 5th choice). "Best" that can happen is you help the lesser of three evils. <br /><br />Lets say there are three left at the final elimination and your preferred candidate is one of the three but lowest total, so eliminated. Let's say Adams and Garcia are the finalists. Your final choice then goes to either Adams or Garcia, or it goes in the waste bin. Adams or Garcia win anyway. <br /><br />Other than a sense of satisfaction (I didn't vote for that horrible person) what's the practical upside to withholding the final choice?Michael Gattonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03439084701518904958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-15833802695320164842021-06-13T10:46:55.773-04:002021-06-13T10:46:55.773-04:00Don't put Yang, Adams or Garcia as any choice,...Don't put Yang, Adams or Garcia as any choice, 1-5.

No contest there for me. I'd stick with Stringer without hesitation. There's a less extreme situation here but ranked choice voting makes it somewhat similar, potentially. Wiley was always going to be my number 1 choice. The field of good candidates is slim and we have 5 options, so Stringer will still be my second. Even if the allegations are true, even (or especially) if they are politically motivated, Stringer is still a better choice than the terrible trio of Adams, Garcia, and Yang on policy and ability. I think all my other choices will be throwaways because anyone else I would settle for will most likely be eliminated early on. I think the last two standing will be Adams and Wiley. But if it's Adams and Stringer, then I will be at peace with putting Stringer in second and hopefully over the top.Michael Gattonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03439084701518904958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-79184892964321474472021-06-12T15:32:35.912-04:002021-06-12T15:32:35.912-04:00It’s all about politics and not the truth.

You will forgive or forget—and believe what you want about Stringer or Cuomo or Trump etc.-whether the allegations are from last month, last year or even from the last century. Do people grow and change for the better?Hopefully, that is true —except for Trump.<br /><br />I just can’t help thinking that there are currently 2 serving Supreme Court Justices -Thomas and Kavanaugh who can decide on profound issues that shape our everyday lives —these two went before televised Congressional committees with accusers giving first hand testimony of sexual harassment and sexual assault. It was so sickening and so terribly partisan with Kavanaugh situation. Ironically, it was Senator Biden that really didn’t believe the 1991 testimony of Anita Hill -but apologized in 2020.—Nothing more than politics because they both got their appointments .<br /><br />In the case of Stringer, it’s unlikely he will win—but he does have excellent qualifications and his ads portray him as a real NewYorker with nice kids. However, none of the local papers endorsed him — but he is endorsed by the UFT—as it won’t matter because that is almost like the 30 year kiss of death —as no one that the UFT has supported in the Democratic primary—has gone on to be mayor.
