But is it mutual?

I no longer live in NY, and I can't give an authoritative opinion, but I would assume that now would be a time for a more conservative candidate to win. Didn't Giuliani win after because everyone was sick and tired of Dinken's and his policies? There is a big difference now, though, because de Blasio himself won't be on the ticket.

I would imagine NYC voters moved far left since Guliani.

Its mostly since deblasio that the voters moved. Many have moved south, some north, some left, & yes, even far left all the way to CA.

De Blasio is just a buffoon, but isn't Andrew Yang much further left? Asking out of ignorance. When you hear him talking about Basic Income and have dems in control of DC (with angry NYers from the state tax deduction issues) it doesn't sound good.

It doesn't sound good. Though in all fairness he is quite smart and he was willing to talk to Ben Shapiro and Tucker Carlson. If you listen to those interviews you may support him more. He may be a bit naive but I don't think he would be as bad as deblasio

What happened to Curtis Sliwa? Wasn't he gonna run?

Don't let the UBI thing fool you. He's not nearly as left as BDB.

Not surprised. He’s been to more restaurants than the rest of them combined.

Exactly - UBI is not so bad especially if it replaces "earned welfare". Completely changes the incentive structure for work vs. programs.

Yang is also a numbers guy so his spending and revenue ideas can be refreshing compared to the standard politician.

The singular reason I will vote for him is that he approaches every issue with an open mind , no matter if it’s from the right or left which is very unusual in today’s environment. His stance on social issue like respecting traditional values while respecting others also strongly resonate with me.
