Or the progressive wing is not a majority in NYC but it is easier to blame the Donor Class or PTBs than deal with the fact that white liberals in Williamsburg or Boreum Hill have very little connection to voters in Sunset Park or unfashionable Queens

Propose a blue state NIH/FDA compact and screw the Supremacy Clause

Cuomo’s big base is SEIU 9 and another union. Too many people vaguely point at the Donor Class as a root of all evil like a balm/conspiracy theory when things don’t go their way. It is too convenient

The people I know who really hate Cuomo are like me, SLAC grads who moved to Brooklyn after college and fell in love. NYC has a lot of voters to their right socially who lived in NYC at its lowest and resent my crowd as upstart carpetbaggers. I graduated from college in 2002.

But plenty of liberals seethed at Cuomo when he was governor and Obama was Pres.Teachout and Nixon were crushed in the primaries.

The Democratic Party has a component that is 10-20 percent college educated bougie-boho. This crowd (and I am in it), no matter their city, doesn’t interact with the kind of Democrat in Cuomo’s base. Cuomo has big union support and support of mod income/slightly conservative Democrats.

Partially. NYC and other American cities have always operated on detente. I’m from NY and lived there until I went to law school in SF. The people who hated Cuomo are people I knew all my life. They never interacted with Cuomo’s base except at the bare minimum.

What are people doing to spread don’t rank Cuomo beyond social media? My theory of cities is that they operate on detente and the anti-Cuomo crowd don’t interact with Cuomo’s base and don’t really know how to. The same is true in many U.S. cities. The progressives don’t know the old machines
