Poor people be voting for the conservative while higher income people be voting for the socialist. This is so ironic...

MODERATORS
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.
Looks like the lower income is the Bronx and a bit of Brooklyn. Higher income is Manhattan and the Brooklyn/queens riverfront. The middle income map is more like what I'd expect to see overall based on the neighborhoods. More Cuomo for Staten Island/False New Jersey as well as east Brooklyn/Queens/Don't call it Long Island (even though they act like Nassau county is out in the country). There's a bunch of conservative, racist pricks that insist on NYC being the greatest (so they're definitely part of it) but off in homeowning urban areas pissed that they're making suburb money but paying urban prices. All while refusing to enjoy the fun parts of the city because they don't like the people there.
Bu- bu- but is he gonna visit Israel? /s
context
In a debate they asked where candidates would visit. Once one of them said they'd visit Israel, a lot of others said they would too. Mamdani basically said he'd stay in NYC because he'd be the mayor and it's important to focus on his constituents. So then the moderators are like "Just to clarify, you wouldn't visit Israel?" And he's like I wanna focus on New Yorkers then they're like "Do you support Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state?" 🙄 Absolutely insane. The man just answers "where would you visit" by saying he wouldn't travel so he can focus on constituents and it turns into a purity test about his views on Israel's existence? Just shameful. Like imagine if someone is like "I'll have a salad" and then the waiter asks "Do you support cattle farmer's right to earn a living?"

The fact that Clinton endorsed Cuomo is the cherry on top.
When do you think they'll realize their name is poisonous? Or would that require more introspection than a Clinton is even capable of?

"Nearly a quarter of early voters had not voted in a Democratic primary at any point between 2012 and 2024."

Here you go folks- GET INVOLVED! Go vote! Every single election, especially primaries.
Alternately: people actually fucking vote when you give them something, anything, to vote for!
How long util he gets couped by the CIA?
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)
CIA doesn't even need to get involved. Just a "terrorist" accusation and arrest them.
So you don't have to spend millions on a liberal Joe Rogan, or attack trans people, or support genocide to win a race in America? God damn, that's incredible!
I'm very happy to hear this news. Genuinely one of the best news I've heard all year round. Maybe there is a sliver of hope.
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 think they'll try to slow the progress as much as possible. They'll run candidates that like promise 50% of what the further-left candidate promises, cook up a resume that makes them look more "experienced" than the more further-left candidate, then when they win, they only do 10% of what's promised, then find excuses, while continuing to masquerade as a progressive.
I mean, if I were a greedy rich person, that's how I'll manipulate politics.

Holy shit! It happened! I'm elated.
Edit: Congrats New Yorkers!
If this election was held in 2023, you have to wonder if the outcome would have been wildly different.
For once, an encouraging sign for sanity and common sense.

Good. The Democratic machine didn’t want this. It happened anyways. Maybe they will pull head from ass. (Doubtful)

I'm honestly surprised Mamdani is still alive in the US, given his name.
It's like hearing about a mayor in a town in Nazi Germany named Abram Mankowitz.
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.
Watch that rat fuck run as independent to split the vote.
This is why ranked choice has been banned in a lot of places. It breaks the duopoly.
