Do any of these writers actually live in NYC? The issue on the minds of most voters is crime, especially on the subway. I see no possibility whatsoever for democratic socialists—and if by some miracle they win we will likely have a Republican mayor.
Exactly. Congestion pricing was all about forcing people back onto the subway, who had abandoned public transportation, due to crime. I do not understand Dem women, especially, allowing themselves to be used as political pawns.
Subways have huge fixed and legacy costs, regardless of ridership rates, but toss in low usage, and the losses explode. When NYC stopped criminally charging turnstile jumping, 1/3 of riders stopped paying to use the subway. Couple that with people working from home, inflation, and crime and the NYC subway has been hit with the perfect storm.
So the NY Governor utilizes Climate as a decoy, to drive up the cost of Ubers or driving into NYC, to force citizens to utilize something twice a day, that scares them to death. It is cold and calculating policy, designed by a woman, to put other women at risk of bodily harm, on a daily basis. New Yorkers can hate Trump all they want, but killing congestion pricing will, undoubtedly, save some of them from being crime victims.
George Floyd was not "murder(ed)" He was high on drugs and had pre-existing conditions that led to his death when he resisted arrest and was accidentally killed by policeman Derek Chauvin. The 2nd degree murder charge was a fabrication to assuage outrage over Floyd's death.
The NYC demographic change doesn't seem terribly encouraging for your mission, at least there. Nor does Bernie's suggestions about Democrats solving the brand problem by running as something else. Works for him but it breaks down party loyalty.

Life in the socialist bubble is devoid of rational thought.
