City Council primaries testing progressives’ stranglehold of NYC

On Tuesday, the entire city council is up for re-election in party primary races.

Only a few districts enjoy robustly contested races — and one of them is Lower Manhattan, from Wall Street to Chinatown.

It’s a rare opportunity to assess whether moderates can wrest control of local politics from far-left progressives.

Usually, council members are elected every four years, along with the mayor. This time, thanks to redistricting, council members face the voters just two years after their recent election.

That’s good, because voters have a chance to look at prospective lawmakers without being overwhelmed by a larger mayoral race.

Just like in the 1970s, their stranglehold won't be broken until things get even worse than they are now.  NYC just has to have its nose ground thoroughly in the progressive sh*t on the carpet before it comes to its senses.

A Fishrrman pretty-fearless™ prediction:

After the primaries, the winning candidates will be even more-lefter than they are now.
