RE: How the hell do people like De Blasio and Jerry Brown get elected into office???
In the case of New York city, APATHY.
In both elections De Blasio won, only 22% of eligible voters bothered to show up on election day ( in both elections ). De Blasio of course, won the vast majority of these 22%. The rest of eligible voters just did not care enough to vote.
I even spoke to someone who told me he just realized there was a mayoral election after it happened....
22 Percent of eligible voters in NYC is probably the communists. I mean literally.
