"Affordability was a key focus of Mamdani’s policy platform and messaging, with the Democratic state assemblymember calling for an immediate rent freeze for all of the city’s rent-stabilized tenants, the creation of a network of city-owned grocery stores focused not on profits but on “keeping prices low,” and free childcare.
Mamdani proposed funding those and other priorities with a higher tax rate on corporations and city residents earning more than $1 million per year—fueling the backlash his campaign faced from the ultra-wealthy."
I highly doubt 85% of registered voters miss the election because of scheduling conflicts. You can sign up for mail-in ballots if you have an irregular schedule. Most people vote once every four years, if at all. We should be voting twice every two years for federal elections alone.
Edit: I forgot .ml is anti-voting. What a bunch of finger-pointing losers. Lol
I’m not saying that’s what accounts for an 85% drop. It’s just one reason you get more retirees than even the general election that show up.
Oh, for sure. They also just love to support the conservative Democrats so their Medicare/pensions/retirement accounts stay cushy.
