Yes, some of us refuse to leave New York just because the lunatics who are currently running this asylum won't last forever.......and the truth always sets you free eventually.
The other main reason is once you get out of the city and long island, the rest of the state is pretty conservative, both in its' views and its' politics.

Yeah, I grew up in Upstate NY, live in VA now. You'd be surprised how liberal Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse are. Besides, you're nuts, and I say that affectionately, LOL, if you think that all the people in NYC with their hands out are going to vote against those interests.
I heard a stat a number of years ago that said that 7/8 of everyone in NYC was on some form of public assistance. Now I'm not sure what that meant, probably included free subway passes from work via the local government or something ridiculous, but we both know that a LOT of folks are on the dole down there and that there are too many morons that don't think for themselves and are pocket Dem votes in every election. That kind of stuff cannot be avoided in huge metro areas and even medium sized ones at times.
Besides, people are leaving the state in droves and they're not liberals I'm guessing. LOL There's a huge demographical shift to the South now. Maybe in 30 years you'll be right, but until then... I've wanted nothing more than to move back, but can't bring myself to do it due to the heavy taxes and liberal politics.
I have a family member that pays more in taxes on his home which is valued in the mid-100s than we and our friends do down here in VA on homes over twice that price easily. The state makes it tough to live there, that's why everyone's leaving. "Traditional Americans", of all races, are also leaving CA in droves.
