we've seen an uptick in right wing activism solely in response to the far left

hmm

Where are you?

i am in queens

I get a feeling the midwest is trending conservative.

but i have lived all over nyc

Not so sure elsewhere. Actually think the South is trending left.

and many of my nyc friends are over this SJW crap and we aren't conservatives really

midwests always be Repub

Not Ohio.

Or Illinois.

and NOBODY i know wanted Hillary

Interesting.

That's not the impression I get of the City.

Yea the Great Lakes differs

well where do you get your impressions of the city? i have lived here almost 20 years

NYC is typically Corporate Dem though iirc

Oh, you meant Kansas. Yeah. Kansas has it's social values that are not represented by the coastal elites.

ay, NYC is only a 2 hour train ride from me

yea when i say mid west i mean like MID-west

@Lagomaster24. No. NYC is corporation Dem versus borderline-socialist Dem.

the corporate nyc just like the corporate anywhere is dem but that isn't necessarily the voice of the people

Ocasio-Cortez and Blasio are both NYC.

well yea the socialist sides more visible now cause Cortez

im saying more traditionally

yeah but they aren't an accurate representation of the people who live hear

no one like DeBlasio

NYC taxis vs protestors who block streets, who wins?

yea

@Grenade123 Taxis. Until the court date.

savagay

Then the protesters get off.

taxis used to win, now the protestors because the taxi drivers are too busy blowing off their own heads

@Joey4Track (POLEMIC HEART) You would probably know better than me. I tend to get whispers and hounded by city types. Not full fledged NYCers.

taxi drivers and air traffic controllers have the highest suicide rates right?

thing about nyc is that we don't really give a shit about politics and only really care about ourselves, but we know bullshitters when we see them so that's why i don't see many people on the street that support Hillary etcc

She won overwhelmingly though.

that's because most people didn't vote

And the democrats are in no danger of losing anything.

nyc taxi drivers are in massive debt because of the cost of getting a taxi medallion and uber/lyft is stilling business

i'm just talking about what i hear on the street

I mean, you can make the same argument about Upstate.

But they vote the other way.

and i have bartended through the whole election so..

Dems dont show up for Primaries as much compared to Repubs on average

@Joey4Track (POLEMIC HEART) idk bro i work in nyc and i see mostly librecuks some trump supporters but there rare and far between

fuck i didn't vote. i have only ever voted for one person in my life

Depending on the publicity the mid terms will vary

but are they bridge and tunnel folks Contro?

Mid terms are all about turnout.

Presidential election always have the highest average turnout

mind you said turnout is still garbage

36%

guy i work with lived in nyc moved to nj he is a trump voter '

but hes rare

IDK. The rule is that most people just don't know or care.

Lot of people dont vote in general

yeah i dunno, you also work in fucking midtown, lol

And the country is usually split 30/30/40 anyway.

i am talking about queens, lol

I might be wrong.

and you know Staten Island is voting Trump, lol

But I've never heard anything to suggest that there's any kind of not-left attitude in NYC outside a couple tiny pockets.

tru

there are many mis conceptions about nyc as whole

Staten Island has been Republican for a long time. It's why the city put the trash dump there.

Dump on the political opposition.

and sterotypes that just aren't true about nyc

But that's just a bubble and it's turning blue from what I've read.

That's true everywhere.

can't fucking wait

I'm originally from TX. You won't believe the stereotypes I heard of Texans.

my best friend here in NYC is from TX actually and he never stops talking about TX, lol

and he is anti trump, lol

That's the one stereotype that's true. Lol.

you wear a trashcan lid sized belt buckle and own over 100 guns all of which are on your person right now?

The anti-trump part is probably selection bias.

are you telling me you don't have guns everywhere?!

@Tohob I wish.

in tx?

Noooo...

i mean in some ways im anti-trump and others im not

The midwest has looser gun laws.

Same.

i'm lukewarm on trump

like i recognize that North Korea will ultimately be his greatest legacy

yeah, there are a lot of things i don't like about trump and a few things that i do like

I'm not a fan of Trump personally.

but i disagree with his diplomacy methods and his economics

my least favorite things he's done are shooting missiles at syria and removing protections for at-risk animals

but i am thankful he was elected over HRC

But he's better than the alternatives at this point.

^^

#NoGoodOptions.

sad but true

oh absolutely

yep

i'd take trump every election over hillary once

i would vote for Ron Paul again if I could

My issue is I haven't seen a Dem I could reasonably vote for over him either.
