        Please, explain how the largest turnout in decades represents how “the left” doesnt vote.

        Just give me a minute to make some popcorn so I can fully enjoy this.

          Most of them probably thought Mamdani wasn’t as left as their buddy’s roommate’s drug dealer so he wasn’t worth voting for.

            Sorry, how does that explain a 20 year record turnout, or the highest number of votes for a single candidate since the 1960s?

            Youre going to have to break this down a little bit more here, clearly I still dont get it.

                Previous election results show that liberals and more moderate conservatives voted for Cuomo, actually, considering Silwa’s 20% slide.

                So sorry, it seems I’m still not getting “it”.

                    Really isnt.

                    Youre suggesting liberals voted for Mamdani.

                    The math on that math just ain’t mathing.

                    I’m saying liberals, on the whole, voted for Cuomo. The previous voter turnout in 2021 equates to roughly the totals of Silwa and Cuomo.

                    Districts that previously felt without representation voted in droves for Mamdani.

                    I do not see how we are saying the same thing. I’d love an explanation for how “liberals voted Cuomo” and “liberals voted Mamdani” are the same (I wasn’t an English major or anything, sorry), or how someone being actually left of the establishment drawing record numbers of voters is proof that “the left” doesnt vote.
