Yeah, well, why weren’t they laughing when he ran for Mayor?
De Blasio was first elected mayor in 2013, the year with the lowest voter turnout in NYC history. Only 24% of registered voters bothered to vote that year.
De Blasio claims a landslide or mandate with 73% of the vote. The real number is 17.5%.
How they reelected him I have no idea. The city is a sh!thole once again. It took decades to claw its way back. In fact, under Giuliani and Bloomberg, NYC was never cleaner or safer. Now, yech.
