It depends where the cut off is. But there's a lot of educated people that fall into the higher income category that all too aware what rampant poverty and inequality can do to cause instability. His policies might not benefit them the most but it would still benefit them in some way.

It's makes you want to cry or throw a big shiny round bomb in someone's gilded carriage. One of those two.

Alternately: people actually fucking vote when you give them something, anything, to vote for!

When do you think they'll realize their name is poisonous? Or would that require more introspection than a Clinton is even capable of?

I have seen articles saying that a Zohran win would force the Democratic Party to face change, and acknowledge the rising progressive movement. Let's see if they accept the changes, or they fight against it. I suspect they'll fight, but if other elections start moving left, they'll be forced to change.

The next big test will be the mid-term primaries. Hopefully, this win will encourage progressives to run, and hopefully they'll win enough primary races to become a serious threat, especially against Establishment Dems.

And I hope one of them is AOC primarying Chuck Schumer. That spineless, whining bitch has got to go. He holds a lot of the blame for the rise of MAGA.

I don't mean to blunt your enthusiasm, but this was just a primary election, so only registered Democrats were voting here. So a much different demographic than 51 separate Presidential elections. But still, it's a sign that the voters in the city are fed up with the politics-as-usual the party is force-feeding them.

There are a lot more Democrats than Republicans there, though, so this should give him the inside track for the job, especially if Cuomo backs down from his threat to run Independant. (I think he knows that if he did that, he will never win an endorsement from any other Democrat, ever, so that may give him pause.) Adams is running as an independant, but I think the city is done with him. Curtis Sliwa is the Republican nominee, but he hasn't been relevant since the 80s and 90s, and is kind of a cartoon now.

The election here was the Democratic primary. It didn't cut the Democrats out of the loop.

They're already pre-announcing the Reichstag Fire they're about to stage.

(I'm assuming it will be executed with the full and enthusiastic cooperation of the nypd)

Who knew making it easier for voters to pick a candidate makes the candidates easier to pick?

He is. It's confirmed

NYC is easily the most diverse and integrated major city in the country. That kind of rhetoric doesn’t apply to the majority of NYC.
