Depends on which NYers you’re talking about.
Plenty of Upstate is red and votes that way.
The worst parts are the cities and if you look at a red/blue precinct by precinct voting map, you can clearly see the major cities and tier locations along the Thruway all the way down to NYC.
Yes, there are still liberal elements in small towns in NY where liberals have fled for safety, to get away from the conditions they created. And sadly, they are recreating them there too, as is SO typical of liberals.
Yes. Tompkins county springs to mind.
“And sadly, they are recreating them there too”
Yes, I see this constantly in my small town in south central NH. The liberals from MA, NY, NJ move here. I pass one right around the corner about a mile from my house on the way to and from work. She is an older woman. Bought the house during covid. I figured she would be a problem as soon as I saw the MA plate on the Prius parked in the driveway. The next spring the BIDEN sign went up. Now she has a banner on her shed/barn that says RESIT with the commie FIST on it.
It continues to repeat itself. They are half way done with a small subdivision again about a mile south into the next town. I drove through Saturday morning. It is a 55 and over development. All one story duplexes. There were four units being newly occupied. Two had NH plates on the vehicles. Two had MA plates. So. I figure there is a 50/50 shot with these people. Maybe.
