I think the voters in New York State really care. It’s just that we are so surrounded by Liberals, Unions, takers, and incompetent government shills that it’s hard to know who is actual and who isn’t. The media is very powerful in this state because so many people are “brain dead.”
Well, I think a lot of ordinary people care. But it’s been rare in New York for politicians to really appeal to that. Meantime, you have the unions and the liberals, as you say, and all those people they have put on welfare who’d like to have more of it.
And all the kneejerk liberals who seem to live in the suburbs these days, who think their consciences are telling them that “the poor” need more free handouts. Without realizing that the politicians they vote for have put the poor there in the first place and made them permanently dependent. It’s an insidious business.
Anyway, Cuomo was a big-time crook, if they can just get the word out. They did finally grow disgusted with his father, Mario, and threw him out.
