Pretty much apples-to-apples comparison. They’ve got you there SMCF. It’s an accepted maxim that national Presidential races are exactly the same as mayoral races in NYC.
Mamdani was the first to get more than a million votes in a mayoral election since the 60’s. The 2021 turnout was less than 25%, 2017 was barely above 25%, etc. It has been more than 2 decades since there has been a level of turnout like was seen with Mamdani.
Her primary problem was going for the left’s vote when the left doesn’t vote.
The only way to fix it is to go further right and pick up the voters who are disillusioned by Trump in 2028.
Terrible news for the Mamdani campaign.
Can’t wait for Pete Buttigieg to campaign on doubling the ICE budget.

Wait till you find out how many states Bernie Sanders won in 2020.
Not enough to win the primary?
39% of NYC’s registered voters turned out to vote in the last mayor election and he got slightly more then fifty percent of the vote.
I don’t think that’s the gotcha you’re going for.
That’s not “the left”, just voter apathy.

It is, in fact, quite a “gotcha”.
Mamdani barely got more votes than Trump did in NYC in 2024.
He won with about 19.5% of the registered voters.
With 6 other people to vote for, and the biggest mayoral election turnout in decades…
Again, voter apathy <> “the left”.
His primary opponent was Andrew Cuomo in NYC and he still was barely over fifty percent of the people who bothered to vote.
Oh look, you got it!
Voter apathy <> “the left”.
Oh I’ve always gotten it but I don’t think you have yet.
Voter Turnout Highest in Half Century as Mamdani Phenomenon Galvanizes Electorate
Still waiting to hear about all those voters who stayed home because Sliwa wasn’t conservative enough.
Stop asking the Baileys, Chuck. They’re full of shit.
