    It’s a little bit misleading to refer to as any mayor of New York City as “just a mayor“.

      It’s just a tiny little financial capitol of the world with a measley population of only 8.4 million people.

        And California is the world’s 4th largest economy, behind only the entire rest of the United States, China, and Germany. New York State would be 8th.

        The Democratic states and cities are economic and sociopolitical leaders for a reason. Don’t listen to the bullshit calling them socialist hellholes. The evidence suggests that taking care of your people (and maybe even having illegal immigrants too gasp or better yet legal immigrants) is actually an economically sound, and maybe even economically preferable strategy overall.

          You can also casually remind people that more Republicans live in California than Texas, which usually makes their head explode. It’s an enormous state, with a huge economy, with tons and tons of people.

          People like that are willing to do or say anything in order to get validation for their shitty beliefs

            I mean everyone has something they value more than economics… For some, those are bad values, but it’s not unique.
