"People who have the most education—college graduates and postgrads—are least likely to support Trump.

Had a good laff last night, at a clip of a GOP water carrier complaining that Mamdani only won because of support from young people, women, minorities and educated people, as if, somehow, those groups were all illegitimate as voters.

This, from a clearly anti-Mamdani article:

Mamdani walloped Cuomo with the two least sophisticated segments of the voting population, namely first-time voters and young people. He won 65 percent of the former and 62 percent of voters under 30.

The socialist led the field among those of every race and ethnicity, save for white voters. An impressive 62 percent of Asians voted for the man of mixed African and South Asian ancestry. Blacks voted for Mamdani over Cuomo 57 percent to 38 percent, and the split for Latinos was 52 to 39 percent.

Women are 52 percent of the NYC population, but they accounted for 55 percent of the voters; 50 percent voted for Mamdani, and 43 percent went for Cuomo. Mamdani creamed the field among young women voters—they are the most radical segment of the electorate—winning an astonishing 84 percent of them.

Mamdani prevailed at all income levels, doing best with high-income voters.

Whose votes matter, according to this screed?

Let’s start with the two most important demographic segments who voted against Mamdani: Jews and Catholics. Jews voted for Cuomo over Mamdani by a margin of 63 percent to 33 percent; Catholics split the vote 53 to 33 percent, respectively.

As suggested some time ago, I noticed the mobs and the enthusiasm when Bernie ran. Maybe "democratic socialism" is the right recipe for running against rampant corporatist corruption, dressed up as racial and religious bigotry?
