People who elect socialist mayors like the ones in New York, Chicago, and Seattle deserve anything and everything bad that happens to them. As their livers become shittier and shittier, as they surely will, I'm going to sit back and laugh at their plight. They made their bed, now they can lie in it. Socialism doesn't make anybody's lives better. The goal of socialism is to make everyone's lives equally miserable.

   Some of these people that live in these states are trapped. They do Not vote for these clowns and can Not afford to move. They are modern day slaves stuck inside a plantation.

They need to get motivated and turn out in greater numbers and outvote the crazy leftists. The turnout rate in New York when Mamdani got elected was the largest for a mayoral election in 50 years which indicates to me the socialists were far more motivated than the normal people. That said, these people are victims but it is not my responsibility to rescue them from socialism. They will have to figure out how to do that themselves.

What will happen is the millionaires will largely move out of the city into the suburbs or move to low tax red states. That means the middle and lower classes will shoulder an even larger share of the tax burden. The problem with socialism is it soon runs out of other people's money to steal from the rich and give to the poor. Mamdani is already finding out New York can't pay for a fraction of the "free" things he promised and it is only going to get worse as the tax base shrinks.

   Seriously? The population of New York has been declining for years. This is why it is Now 4th largest with electoral votes. It was #2 forever. So, the total population declines but the number of people voting increases? That's a Red Flag!

I believe until the 1960 census, it was #1

  Thank you for helping me build my case.

As it turns out, I was wrong. New York held the #1 spot throughout the 1960s. It was the 1970 census that pushed California to the #1 spot.
In the 1960 election, New York was #1 by a wide margin with 45 electoral votes. California was tied with Pennsylvania with 32 apiece. Both Illinois and Ohio had more votes than Texas. Believe it or not, Florida had only 10 electoral votes.

California closed the gap following the 1960 census trailing New York 43-40. Following the 1970 census California took over #1 by a 45-41 margin. Pennsylvania held the #3 spot with 27, one ahead of both Illinois and Texas at 26.
