I’m a conservative/libertarian living in Staten Island. No one deserves de Blasio. The general election against the more qualified, but lackluster, republican Lhota had a 23% turn out.
Collective guilt is not the right way to look at this. I had nothing to do with getting this guy elected.
Again, no one in NYC deserved to be saddled with a de Blasio — or a Gov. Cuomo, for that matter. But, that’s democrat machine politics in NYC.
Turn-out was really that low? When 77% or the electorate vote "whatever" by not showing up, it sounds like collective guilt is exactly the way to look at this when "whatever" gets elected.
