Cuomo's Candidacy Is a Symptom of a Bigger Democratic Problem -- Your Thoughts?

15. NYC politics are hardly separate from its history or its being the financial center of today's world, though.

I think that objectively matters. It also matters that the Dutch of New Amsterdam, named for what was considered the most tolerant city in the world at the time, were the first to introduce the now-modern American concept called Tolerance. The word didn't appear in the first American dictionary until New Amsterdam introduced it here.
New York, later became the first Capital of the United States and to this day has one of the world's largest natural harbors.

Not for nothing, Democrats have reason to believe that New York state and city exert an influence across the 3rd largest country on the planet, at least among those who are aware early American history, Dems/Repubs, liberals or not. Or Trump and his administration wouldn't be blatantly, publicly attacking NYC, which has the biggest immigrant population in the world, and the SDNY wouldn't have the most federal cases -- 20 out of 269 as of today -- of any state filed against Trump.
