"Over the last year, New York politics have appeared to lurch ever leftward. First came the primary victories last summer in a series of House and state legislative races, then the legalization of recreational marijuana, and just this week, a state budget agreement that would raise taxes on the wealthy and create a $2.1 billion fund to aid undocumented workers.

But in the New York City mayor’s race, the two candidates who have most consistently shown strength are among the most moderate in the field.
The sustained polling leads of Andrew Yang followed often by Eric Adams have made some left-wing activists and leaders increasingly alarmed about the trajectory of the race, leaving them divided over how to use their considerable influence to shape its outcome before the June 22 primary.
“From my perspective on the left in New York, there’s definitely a little sense of disappointment around how the race is shaping up right now,” said Matthew Miles Goodrich, who is involved with the Sunrise Movement, an organization of young climate activists. “There seems to be a mismatch between who is leading in the New York City mayoral race and the tenor of the times that we’re supposed to be living in.”

neither one is capable of leading.

The folks I feel really bad for are the folks upstate who are overwhelmingly conservative, but stuck with liberal rule because of the black hole of liberalism around the city which sucks everything into it.

States like NY (NYC), Illinois (Chicago), and Georgia (Atlanta) where one metro area has literally over half of the state's population make the opinions of everyone outside that area irrelevant. I always feel bad for those folks.
