Very interesting analysis. The support of non-insignificant portions of New York's population for socialist candidates is quite remarkable. As is the fact that one-third of NYC's Jewish voters voted for the current mayor. I'm tempted to say, "you'll get what you voted for." But that would be self-defeating. The better resopnse would be, "we have to do a better job at educating these apparently clueless voters as to what socialism really is, and what it would bring them."
As a Chinese person that still remembers the horrific evil of tyrants that have since been put into the "not real communism/socialism" box
I will never ever support any socialist until socialism stops hating the rich and actually feeding the poor, out of their own pockets first, rather than trying to pass policies that take from "the rich" at gunpoint, because the actual people of real wealth would have all left before the guns could come for their wealth...
