i don’t believe the 3.1 mill to 450K number for a second
Many Republicans register as Democrats in NYC. That’s because of the primary process in this one party city. So, those numbers are probably skewed. It’s definitely a Democratic stronghold, of course. When I was young, the Upper East Side was Republican. Silk Stocking District. It rejected DeBlasio just recently and he paid them back by not clearing the streets during a blizzard his first year in office.
Growing up openly conservative in NYC is VERY difficult and ostracizing. Talk about living in enemy territory.
