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.
It really is, but so is the population, which is why its kind of bizarre. Add to that ranked choice recently coming in, and new ways that some candidates (Cuomo) skirted and occasionally broke the law with regards to campaign funding using the local equivalent of super PACs and it gets real weird real fast.
Two different elections doesnt really cover that, no. Youre comparing a presidential election to a mayoral election, which is super weird, which occurred in different years.
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.
Liberals voted Mamdani to counter the republicans voting Cuomo.
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”.
It feels like we’re saying the same thing here.
Really isnt.
Youre suggesting liberals voted for Mamdani.
The math on that math just ain’t mathing.

NYC Politics is fucking bizarre

1.9 million liberals voted Harris in presidential election and about a million conservatives voted Trump.
Cuomo and Silva had about a million votes (the conservatives) and Mamdani got a million of the liberals.
Easy peasy math for you!

That’s some really bad math IMO.
It’s the same voters though.
True it is different years and candidates but the 2021 mayor race also was a different year with different candidates.
