> Gerrymandered maps in Florida and Texas had no effect.
New York heavily underperformed expectations, and those expectations were set with the understanding that the gerrymandered Dem maps would not be used. This excuse doesn't hold water.
> It was Progressives in NYC that ignored crime in a city with lower crime rates than Miami, Orlando, Jacksonville, Houston, and Dallas during a mid term election that on average has more seats go to the party out of power.
New Yorker voters don't give a flying fuck about Florida or Texas and don't give a shit about your cherry-picked stats. What they will pay attention to is the steady drumbeat of crimes committed by people with several dozen prior arrests that should have stayed in jail, and the progressives and Democrats that constantly try to ignore that.
> during a mid term election that on average has more seats go to the party out of power.
Non-New York Dems will note a specific under-performance in New York this cycle and throw NYC progressives under the bus for these losing policies.

Remind me again how many house seats in NYC flipped?

It means a hyper-focus on lower murder and shooting rates while ignoring skyrocketing per-rider subway crime rates, assaults, and countless other major quality-of-life crimes in pursuit of a political agenda.

House seats in New York State flipped because of state-wide light-on-crime policies that are pushed through by progressives in NYC, and those seats have changed the balance of power across the country. Progressives are getting thrown under the bus for that, and rightfully so.

LOL, so a seat flipped in the Hudson Valley/Catskills, not because it’s an off year election, but because of progressives in nyc “ignoring” crime on the subway. . . omfg, you guys will reach for anything to blame progressives.
As far as “skyrocketing” is concerned, anytime you have such low numbers to begin with, you’re going to get high percentages if things go up or down. The murder rate in Uvalde has skyrocketed. Do you think that’s because of progressives in nyc too?
If you’re truly arguing in good faith - go look this up. What are your chances of being in a car accident in nyc if you drive vs your chances of being a victim of violent crime in the subway? Which is higher?

Your responses are complete nonsense. Feel free to keep ignoring crime and blaming everyone else, it doesn't matter to me. The Democratic party is blaming you just like they should be, and progressives will become more and more marginalized with these idiotic policies as time goes on.
In terms of comparison of absolute numbers, there is no accurate data on unreported crimes like menacing and harassment on the subway, including serious threats of violence and even many assaults. I'm telling you that your data is worthless, and a huge chunk of the city that has been victimized on the subway with no police report involved agrees with me.
Keep ignoring the problem, you just lost the Democrats the US House. I only hope that progressives will bear the brunt of their own stupidity.

Ahhh, my data is worthless. Your feelings are more accurate I assume? This is a joke of an argument. How many incidents of road rage and small property damage to cars do you think goes unreported every day? I’m guessing you just don’t like the comparison because it highlights your hyperbole.
Remind me again what the Dem to Republican ratio is in the NY State Senate and the NY State Assembly. . .

Riker's has a reported murder rate of 0.
Would that make Riker's safer than the streets of NYC? Would that invalidate anyone who complains about Riker's?

Snark doesn't make.up for missing data. Nobody gives a shit how confidently wrong you are.
Like I said, feel free to ignore things. The progressives are going to get curbed stomped by other constituencies going forward. They have an abysmal record on the quality of life in major American cities. Their policies are unrecognizable to European progressives. None of them are so stupid as to try to ignore crime and try to solve homelessness by throwing more money at ignoring root causes. Vulnerable groups in the US deserve better than your brain-dead logic. American progressives deserve to suffer.

Take a deep breath. I can read you seething through your teeth as you type.

I'm angry because I actually give a shit, and I'm tired of innocent people suffering for your abject stupidity and complete lack of life experience.
