NYC Mayoral Race - Ds nominate communist to control the grocery

[SCBills]

Cuomo won amongst Black and Latino New Yorkers, those making less than 50k per year and Jews 
 

You’d think that’s a winning coalition, but Mamdami turned out absolutely insane numbers in those making 50k - 100k and 100k+

 

To Roundy’s point above though, finance bros didn’t vote Mamdami.  The wealthy areas of Manhattan are made up of far more people than finance bros .. and a lot of them live in NJ/LI.

The Wall Street district voted heavily for Mamdani as did people whose income was $50,000 and above 

 

Do you mean the US 10th Congressional district that’s almost always represented by a Dem - has the highest median household income in America - they don’t all work on Wall Street or in the financial sector.  
 

And this was a Democrat primary.  I’d like to see whatever data you’re looking at.  
 

We do know that the wealthy - making over 50,000K (also known as minimum wage in NYC) voted for him.

 

Which means what, exactly?  
 

A bunch of government employees voted for him.  A bunch a university students and employees.

 

These people think money grows on trees.   
 

 

The Democrats wanted him to win.  That’s why Cuomo was on the ballot.  A not remotely serious challenge at all.  
 

This is your party now.

If Memdani pulled that many votes in that wealth bracket, doesn’t it imply he did in fact get the finance bros?

All one has to do is look at the clown in Chicago and what horrible job he has done. NYC will go the same way if they elect this socialist idiot.

You seem to be mad that a different flavor of populist won. They’re all the same under the hood.

No.  Find that data and prove that.    

There are many jobs at the base of the Democrat party in NYC that voted in a primary in June for mayor that doesn’t include finance.  
 

And again - they are using “makes over 50K” as the polling data right now.  Which is absolutely absurd.  That’s poverty in NYC

Correct. 
 

One of the few things I like about Mamdani is that he wants to address insane permitting requirements that make things more expensive. No street food permit should cost $20,000. 
 

$50,000 should not be poverty line in NYC.

Wouldn’t that almost exclusively benefit the top 5% of earners?

Here is how he brings people back to NYC

 

 

How’s that help everyday folks?

 

 

 

 

Wall Street bros

 

 

 

 

 

[Big Blitz]

By the way, what happened in NYC the last 5 years that led to these problems?

No.. a lot of finance bros live outside NYC and from what I’ve heard, most of them who do live in Manhattan voted for Cuomo or not at all.

 

Women in NYC corporate jobs easily fall into the 50k-100K and 100k+ range and militantly voted Mamdami.

 

It was the working class Black & Latino women who voted Cuomo to no avail.

And what happened to the current mayor when he pushed back against with the mass importation of illegal criminals is good for the city narrative?

The latest stats I could find are from 2021 that said NYC has about 36K tax filers making $1 million+. Probably a good assumption there's somewhat more people making that much in 2025. So I think the plan is to tax the crap out of those $1M earners to pay for all the goodies for everybody else. Maybe drive it down to those at $400K?

 

The problem is the basic tax the rich approach which is attractive to voters wanting a lot of perks but not wanting to pay for them directly creates a lot of disincentives for high income individuals to stay in the city. many could decide to leave and set up permanent residency in lower tax States. Which erodes the tax base and makes the expected additional tax revenue vanish.

 

Given the reality that technology has the capability to render the mid-town Manhattan office complex obsolete if you're willing to deal with the lower productivity with working-from-home arrangements and it gives high earners more options than just staying and paying. It changes the decision from having to be in NYC to wanting to be in NYC. Don't think for a minute New Jersey and Connecticut won't be dangling lots of incentives to large employers to leave Manhattan and move to their States.
