      Zohran is a radical socialist by American standards and Andrew is the poster boy for the rich and famous. Zohran won the democratic nomination for mayor of NY by a landslide, and looks poised to do the same with the election. Andrew is running as a third party because he’s butt hurt that money won’t save him.

        And the “ratio” refers to looking at twitter engagement (e.g. retweets, likes, replies) relative to the tweet

            A link to contribute to his campaign, because if Andrew is truly in it to win it for the Democratic party then he would line up instead of running against Mamdani

            To a “contribute” link, which, I assume, leads to somewhere where you can contribute to his campaign.

          Thanks for that - I never really understood it. So is this an example of a good or bad ratio? (I don’t eX-Twitter at all, this is the extent of my social media presence)

            The ratio just refers to how the original tweet has far less likes/quotes/retweets than the follow up reply. An example here would be having two lemmy comments, one as a reply, and the reply has significantly more upvotes. So the “ratio” of who has the most upvotes/likes/quotes etc shows what the overwhelming opinion is. In this specific case the original tweet has just over 4k likes while the response tweet has 133k

        Zohran is a radical socialist by American standards…

        Which means he’d be a pretty milquetoast centrist in countries with less insane political systems.

      I don’t use this social media and am guessing little on the symbols, but I think the ratio is referring to likes for each.

      Mandani- 133k likes

      Cuomo: 4.2k likes

      Also, Mandani replied to the sex pest so everyone that viewed Mamdani’s post saw Cuomo’s and had the opportunity to like it. A reply having 30x the likes of the one it replied to is wild.

        This is recent (yesterday), it’s after the primary that Mamdani won. Cuomo is still running as a third party candidate.
