14. It's under review and audit. Why should this result be accepted? Fuck NY.

The people should as for the tax dollars back they use for elections. Sue the shit out of them. But really, no delegates should be awarded at this time, or ever this primary, until the review is complete.

Why is this blatant NY fraud acceptable to you, whoever it benefits?

6. $114,486 is not a lot of money for Chelsea. Look at the rent and property values there.

A down payment on a condo apartment the size of a freshman dorm room in Chelsea is the full value of a house in 90% of America.

So, when Bernie proposes raising everyone's taxes, these people will feel the hit without seeing much reward over their current situation.

I have family in NYC who make half of that, which is the current median for the entire city: $50K

Sorry. I don't buy the spin of Bernie "raising everyone's taxes" while providing relief from ridiculous insurance charges. You are talking to the wrong girl. I'm for Democratic ideals, not the scary "raising taxes" bogeyman.

9. They must not live in Chelsea, and if they do, they must have some sort of rent control or subsidy

No one can afford to live in Chelsea on $57K. Not possible.

I am not moved. This makes sense. Privileged tend to vote for Hillary.

12. Like the privileged residents of Brownsville who went for Clinton 4-1

As of 2008, the median household income was $15,978.

Conclusion-New York City Democrats love Hillary- from the plebeians to the bourgeoisie.

13. I live in the West Village in NYC.

It's adjacent to Chelsea. I know what I'm talking about. Making $114K a year in NYC does not make you privilege. It makes you barely middle class.
