I mean… they voted for him. More than once. He was mayor from 1994 to 2001.
He won his first because a newspaper man named Jimmy Breslin discovered a huge scandal involving a Democrat politician, Donald Manes. Breslin did the hard work and Rudy got to play Mr. DA
As a Californian dealing with Feinstein, I am so sick of the “well you voted for them!” bs. We all know how fucked American elections are. We all know that we are not given any true choice of who gets in office. Why would state elections be any better? Even living in a state that’s technically a direct democracy, it still comes down to whoever has the most money. Local elections tend to have more candidates, but less information available on them, and while anyone can propose a ballot initiative here, it again comes down to having enough money to do that.
The whole thing is a shit show that comes down to choosing democrats or fascists. And while democrats may not be the best choice, the “both sides” thing is also bs because there’s an obvious right choice there.
This was a mayoral election, not a state election. And what’s your solution, not to bother voting?
As another Californian I can give you my solution, but the Irish has copyright. My second solution is copyrighted by the French. And my third one is copyrighted by the Czechs.
Not who you responded to but states can use ranked choice voting instead of stupid first past the post, you just need to pass the laws. Some states already do.
People need to think outside the current system, its absolutely rigged to create exactly this predicament we’re in: no real political competition making it easy for the rich to buy the 2 remaining parties and essentially give you a bad and worse choice.
