I think at the founding of the republic for many of the framers it was less about strict wealth than landownership. The whole ideal of Jeffersonian yeoman democracy: farmers were the only people who should matter and fuck the cities. Turns out the reactionaries haven’t really changed that much.

user_name@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Andrew Cuomo says he’ll run a third-party bid for New York mayor after losing Democratic primary0·2 months agoMamdani won the primary election. In the US parties don’t choose their candidates for elections (in b4 “but superdelegates!”) like you see in other electoral systems where an internal party committee selects a candidate list. So this election was determining who was going to be the Democratic candidate for the actual election.
But New York has some weird fusion laws that allow people to run on multiple party lines so Cuomo, even though he lost the Democratic nomination, can still run in the general election.
