Someone explain to an EU pleb like me

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

I should have been more specific in my question. What did Mamdani reply with?

[–] Nomecks@lemmy.ca 8 points 4 days ago

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

[–] devdoggy@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

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)

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

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
