Why didn’t all the Eastern European people in Brighton Beach vote for Mamdani too then? It just seems wildly reductionist to say all those people voted for him because they’re “used to leftist totalitarianism” as if they’re not an actual voting bloc that cares about things like the economy or immigration
And because he “targets” them with appeals to “leftist totalitarianism”, they will vote for him next time around? The group of Soviet immigrants who historically vote Republican due to their skepticism of big government and communism? That seems laughable honestly, and I think it’s just further showing you’re reducing these people to “they came from XYZ country of course they love leftist totalitarianism”
