New York City’s notoriously incompetent election officials have not finished tabulating the votes in the June 22 Democratic primary, with its novel ranked-choice-voting system. But the first choices of voters - minus some 124,000 absentees - nevertheless reveal some important things about the differences between different segments of the Democratic coalition in America’s largest city.
These initial results were a clear repudiation of the term-limited left-wing Mayor Bill de Blasio. Coming in first was Brooklyn borough president and former NYPD cop Eric Adams with 31.7 percent, well ahead of top de Blasio aide Maya Wiley, with 22.2 percent. Third was Kathryn Garcia, de Blasio’s technocratic sanitation commissioner, with 19.5 percent.
**SNIP**
Affluent gentry liberals, who jostle for places in private schools and in whose doorman-building neighborhoods violent crime is still rare, had more abstract concerns. They’re wary about the violent crime upsurge elsewhere in the city but, just as they like being masked even after being vaccinated, don’t like to be noisy about it.
Their first-choice candidate, endorsed by The New York Times, was Kathryn Garcia, a native of Brooklyn’s affluent Park Slope and an experienced administrator who quietly opposed the police. She carried Manhattan from Tribeca to Morningside Heights, plus the Brooklyn Heights-Prospect Park district in Brooklyn, Forest Hills in Queens and far-distant southern Staten Island.

Must be well armed.
The logical conclusion for the GOP is that minorities are ripe for the picking. Trump’s policies benefited them, and they were coming around.
Even rich folk ride the subway from time to time.
Aren’t these ‘well off whites’/libs the majority of voters in NYC?
If Eric Adams is denied, will his support flow to the Republican.
Choose wisely, dims
A lot of minorities live by the law of the jungle, red in fang and claw.
They don’t have time for leftwad BS.
“Even rich folk ride the subway from time to time.”
Really? If I were rich I would never go near a city that had subways.
So far it doesn’t show anything except that Democrats keep finding new ways to **** up elections...
If Eric Adams is denied, there will be no peace. Also the wrath will be directed against the delusional white Democrats where they live.
Must be well armed.........They, as a group, are not. But they are influential, have money, know the right person to call and will get service much faster than any minorities. They call their police precinct and get whatever they want. The black guy, 4 blocks down, calls and he’s put on hold.
Yet another example of the “well of whites” not having to live with the consequences of their “beliefs”.

Residents of the city’s priciest street fought tooth and nail to halt Mayor de Blasio’s $60.8 million plan to open a 150-bed men’s shelter in the closed Park Savoy Hotel at 158 W. 58th St., arguing the location would be a dangerous “firetrap” and that crime would inevitably ensue on the ritzy block.
These are the very same folks that have armed security and helped put DeBlasio in office, along with Soetero, CornPop and Harris.
Historically, trying to buy off the hostiles is a losing strategy…
“...well-off whites...”
Well off LEFTIST Whites....And well off LEFTIST Jews, who are always mistaken for Whites....
Could Adams be the bad guy NY needs? Whakos all over. I’d like to live there a couple of months.
Interesting article.
Whatever they do in NYC, they’ve got to get rid of this stupid ranked choice voting. It’s not meant for electing an individual candidate, but for an election where there are multiple positions (say a slate of city council members).
However, the Dems like it because it actually dilutes the majority vote, which in this case is precisely the non-whites they claim to adore so much. But those groups have to live with the consequences of the city’s failure to enforce the laws or even make them in the first place, and they’re not happy. So the Dems knew that their favorite far-left candidates weren’t going to win, and this is just a way of trying to slip them by no matter what…even though the left wing voters are young whites, the group the Dems profess to hate the most.
“And well off LEFTIST Jews, who are always mistaken for Whites....”
Jews aren’t white? Since when?
“...and they WERE coming around.”
Until they realized they were living in a Banana Republic based upon the STOLEN/RIGGED/whateveryouwanttocallit/2020 ELECTION.
Grrrr! SO much progress made in four short years, despite ‘Russia/Russia/Russia’ and TWO BOGUS Impeachment Trials!
SO MADDENING!
Will Adams voters turn to Sliwa. TBD.
“And well off LEFTIST Jews, who are always mistaken for Whites....”

Jews aren’t white? Since when?
**************************************************
LOL… With the exception of an occasional Sammy Davis, Junior, Jews have always been mostly whites.
And their pink-haired children with nose-rings are the ones throwing molotov cocktails at public buildings.
“Aren’t these ‘well off whites’/libs the majority of voters in NYC?”
No, only in their rich whites sections.
They are completely out of touch with the lives of minorities who are seen as their support staff and servers in low-end work.
They are so condescending they think they know what’s best for them. That’s the root of all this Leftist garbage.
It’s not coming form the black community. They want police protection.
