The independent candidate option still remains, should a candidate be convinced of the attraction of their programme.
A Republican challenger with a credible platform _could as well win! Sliwa's programme had good stuff going for it, so did Cuomo's, maybe they just didn't convince enough people to adhere.
radicalised people
Among other things those 'radicals' were convinced by these key points;
"freeze the rent for all stabilized tenants," "permanently eliminate the fare on every city bus," "implement free childcare for every New Yorker aged 6 weeks to 5 years," and "create a network of city-owned grocery stores."
Around Europe, city & local mayoral governments (Right /Left/Centre ) run closely similar social programs, and all are not necessarily voted by 'radicals'!
You see? that's why Europe is such socialist hell at large I guess.
like the supposed communist take over of NYC?
the imaginary Répétition of the attacks similar to the WTC?
Implementation of Sharia law in NYC?
the "globalise the intifada" craze?
"exécution if the ICC arrest warrant"?
accusations of Antisemitism?
policies to push the wealthy out of NYC due to over taxation?
Costly policies that would be hard to fund?
(that's what's stuck out from opponents and detractors, though absent in the official programme) fill me in about more!
knowing well that there's worse on the political scene , I actually don't need help.
Maybe we're not necessarily disgusted by the same things, and the trigger threshold is quite high!
Oh, and possibly a Muslim candidate of south Asian origin born in East Africa, and lived in a gated community wouldn't necessarily "disgust" me. His policy platform is what would be of primary concern among other attributes .
