Hanco, i believe this is the 2nd time you mentioned that they voted him in, they got what they deserved. Not fair. 95% of ny geographically is red, but the big cities ( nyc, rochester, albany, syracuse, etc) maintain the majority of the population. Check it out on a map showing counties that voted for Trump vs. Biden.
I have lived in ny my whole life and it wasn’t always like this, but it has gotten worse and worse as time goes by. I built a great house 35 years ago on a piece of property which is on top of a mountain with great views and 40 acres of hunting to kill for, swimming pool, and shooting range. I could never sell it for enough money to move to another state and have what I have now, so I will just bite the bullet on our politics and the amount of taxes we pay, until they come for my guns or I can’t afford my taxes any more.
Me or any of my family, nor my friends have ever pulled a lever for a liberal in a town, county, state or federal election! At almost 70, I don’t want to start over again.

Although I spent time in NYC in the mid 1980's, I never traveled upstate to see the "rest" of New York until much later. A few years ago I got to spend a week travelling from Cooperstown and then around the center and western part of the state. I found it beautiful. I was surprised (pleasantly) that the NYC attitude and politis were largely absent, but what was evident is the utter contempt people had for the City and Albany.
I can see why the people of the state of New York would love to cut the city loose and let it be a city/state and they can have a great state back.
