Tbh, nothing about the crazy shift for Trump here in NYC, especially in Queens and the BX, was unexpected. Especially because of the migrant crisis.

I think the migrant issue is certainly part of it, but I do think that voters are starting to really get sick of the fact that we constantly elect Democrats and yet:

-Housing in the city gets more and more expensive
-It's harder and harder to find a place to live since nothing new ever gets built unless it's luxury shit
-The subway seems to get more dangerous all the time
-Homelessness seems worse than it has been

Like, these have always been problems, but then the migrant issue makes it even worse because challenges that NYers actually face are being pushed even further back. If Democrats want to win nationally, they need to start delivering on the local level first.

Yes. I need to see how my local Dems react to all the precinct-level GIS and maps we have. So much data to review and It's all amazingly granular.

It's certainly quite interesting if nothing else. I'm going to try and get involved locally...about all we can do at this point.
