If not for NYC, NYS would be a Red State, with vast counties and congressional districts (CDs) in Long Island and upstate populated by slices of gun-toting white bread. Bruce Blakeman, who last month barely won re-election in Nassau County, bleated that Dummkopf Trumpf has not discouraged him from seeking statewide office. When he wasn't dozing, the Dotard-in-Chief offered no preference Monday when reporters asked about Blakeman and the vapid Elise Stefanik, appearing to signal that he doesn't mind them competing. "He's great and she's great," Trumpf sniveled at the White House. "They're both great people."

NYS Governor Kathy Hochul more overtly welcomed the competition. "If there's a Republican primary, it makes it much more entertaining for me," Hochul said about Blakeman's launch. "Let them go at it. Let's see how they out-MAGA each other."

The population density of the blue areas outside NYC in the embedded map above are far less than super-packed NYC.

On Tuesday 5 Nov 2024, 4,619,195 NYS voters selected Kamala Harris; 3,578,899 idiots voted for Dummkopf Trumpf.

That gave Kamala Harris a 1,040,296 margin resulting in a popular vote and Electoral College victory in the Empire State.

On that same fateful Election Day, 1,903,344 Gothamites voted for Kamala Harris.

If we subtract the NYC Democratic bloc (1,903,344) from the overall NYS Democratic bloc (4,619,195), that leaves us with 2,715,851 and a popular vote and Electoral College win (3,578,899) for Dummkopf Trumpf.

Without the Big Apple, NYS is a Red State, as I summarized in my OP.

Bronx High School of Science graduate Zohran Mamdani and NYS Governor Kathy Hochul (D) know these numbers quite well, as do the status quo dinosaurs Elise Stefanik, AIPAC, Bruce Blakeman, Andrew Cuomo, Chuck Schumer, Eric Adams, Michael Bloomberg, Hakeem Jeffries, and the rest of their Islamophobic ilk who are suffocating us progressive, justice-minded New Yorkers who have had enough of the oligarchs.

So, let's help show these self-serving guardians of the sclerotic status quo the door, shall we?
