46. You just happen to be wrong about New York

You haven't challenged a single analysis I made of the New York geographical voting pattern in the diBlasio election. It demonstrates that diBlasio was elected with a very large minority vote, and a more or less split vote on miniscule turnout in the majority white neighborhoods of NYC - that is, in those he didn't lose outright (Whitestone, Queens went for Lhota, for example, which is rather shocking given the citywide numbers - the same for most of Staten Island; Dyker Heights, Brooklyn; Douglaston; etc., etc.). But you've probably never been to Whitestone, never hung out in the bars with the construction workers and cops and firefighters and union carpenters, or most of the other neighborhoods of the same type. You actually don't know what New York is like.
