I was discussing this with left of center friend. It is interesting how many people get worked up about what the voters in NYC do. I think one of the biggest issue in our culture is the busy body nature of politics.
I listened to some of his speech and he sounds like a typical Obama clone. He's promising free stuff and government magic wands. He tells his audience their voices now have power... kinda silly really. They voted. Big deal.
I mean I get why the typical democrat voters picked this guy. Look at what they have been told for the past 40 years by that party. It kinda reminds me of how Trump won. The Republicans suck. So I blame the Democrat establishment. It will be interesting to watch. I don't live there. None of my business if the people there wanna socialist.

Yep. My response to not liking how NYC is governed is to continue not living there. Beyond that, it's really none of my business.

a fair point, but if you're a non-marginal resident who isn't on the cusp of moving, these things make your life materially worse.
that's me with california, essentially...

Yeah, it sucks for those folks.
And, as more political refugees flee those places, it will only suck increasingly.
