US Elections (& Politics) :)

Look, NYC is very blue. There is a metric shit ton of people that are on some type of gov't assistance there. They don't pay taxes, or very little if they do. They want all the free stuff Mandimic is promising them, so they will come out in droves to vote for him.

It does not matter if he can deliver on those promises. They don't care. If he delivers, they get more free stuff. If not, they still get all of the current free stuff, and they/he will blame the right for the 'failure' of his policies.

It's backlash against Trump...

Marmorato defeated in NYC Council race, loses only GOP seat in the Bronx

"Marmorato’s defeat came in the context of the highest voter turnout in more than five decades – a turnout that seemed fueled by discontent over the first year of President Trump’s second term. More than two million New York voted on Tuesday, the most since 1969, Board of Election figures show."
