The only ones that don’t want Mamdani in Gracie Mansion are the rich fuckers ruining the city. There are many many many more working class people in NYC than rich fuckers.
The issue is how many “working class” people identify as “working class”. How many get all their information from Fox News, Newsmax and wherever Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones are posting from today. Also, how many are completely disengaged from politics and don’t even know who’s Mayor, let alone who might be running in the next election? The rich may be few in number, but they’re engaged and mobilized and have a lot of tools they can use.
