Good!
Surprise surprise, the guy who wants to jail criminals easily beats the woke idiot that wanted to bow to the SJW morons and defund the police even more.

Andrew Yang should have done some research, NYC doesn't like homos.

Maya Wiley, "the progressive" who wanted to defund the police, did woefully as well. could be because she has no charisma?

The Democrat Primary voters refuse to vote for a Chinaman.
Hardly surprising from the party of incorrigible racists like Sheldon Whitehouse who is a devout member of a white supremacist cult in Rhode Island.

"Yang says he'll help whoever the nominee is."
Ah, the old Bernie Sanders scam! Pretend to run for office, then drop out and then endorse whoever was originally designated to be the winner. Bernie got $600,000 from Hillary for doing this in 2016, and $3 million from Biden in 2020. I wonder how much Yang is being paid?

How Andrew Yang went from rock star to also-ran
The final results of the primary race will not be finalized for weeks, as the city Board of Elections tabulates absentee and ranked-choice ballots that can include up to five candidates.

"Andrew Yang burst into the New York City mayor’s race with strong name recognition, high-profile endorsers and a relentlessly positive message of rebirth for a city torn apart by tragedy.
On Tuesday, the published author and entrepreneur — who made a name for himself with a longshot presidential run — limped to a distant fourth-place finish in the crowded field of Democratic candidates
It was a disappointing finish for someone who spent much of the race in a comfortable lead. When he launched his campaign in January, during the Covid-19 pandemic’s second wave, Yang was the most famous candidate by far. He topped his competitors in name recognition and quickly amassed a campaign warchest that allowed him to spend more than $8 million on the race. And his early support could be measured in individual donors — 21,138, compared to 9,390 for Adams, according to the city Campaign Finance Board’s latest disclosure.
It was never enough.
In just one week, he held a press conference in which he seemed to misunderstand the financing of the MTA, was publicly corrected for a gap in knowledge about domestic violence shelters and all but admitted to not knowing the commonly-used name of a police discipline statute.
At the outset, it appeared that a city economically ravaged by a pandemic was ready for his vision: An unrelenting, cheerful belief in the power of positive thinking, bolstered by his promise of cash relief; an outsider who wouldn’t fall into traditional political traps while managing a crisis.
But within a few months of his campaign’s launch, that advantage fell away: Vaccinations skyrocketed and the city reopened within weeks. Businesses went on hiring sprees and workers began making more money — all under the management of those career politicians.
In the final weeks, Yang blamed mentally ill and homeless New Yorkers for the rise in violent crime, arguing they were hampering the city’s economic comeback.
"Yes, mentally ill people have rights, but you know who else has rights? We do! The people and families of the city," Yang said during a debate co-hosted by POLITICO, NBC New York and Telemundo 47. "We have the right to walk the street and not fear for our safety because a mentally ill person is going to lash out at us."
Even as Wiley and Adams attacked him for the remarks, Yang continued to repeat the claim at campaign events and press conferences, going so far as to tell a radio host that the city’s homeless population would scare tourists away: “And then they don't come back, and they tell their friends, 'Don't go to New York City.’”
“When it was about recovery and we were living in a Zoom-land, where folks were not vaccinated and we had no idea when or how we were going to open again, people were yearning for someone who would bring hope and optimism. And we were out there campaigning when no one else was,” Chris Coffey, Yang’s co-campaign manager, said in an interview on Wednesday."

there is no more "systemic racism" than DEMOCRAT RUN cities which are full of crime and lack of opportunity
that's why the black areas voted for Eric Adams, according to the NYT map
