The boroughs are full of ‘traditional’ Democrats that are no more pleased with the Left than we are. Habit and political laziness is largely at fault for their idiotic support of the Leftism masquerading as good ol’ Democrats.
The problem is many of those traditional dems are union members and have much vested in the status quo. Go back to the 70’s and earlier and then you’re talking WWII and Korea vets so even if union members they had an outlook of country first instead of the current me first.
