NYC progressives are going to lose the Dem mayoral primary to soaring crime

Poorer people and minorities are the most fearful, because crime hits them hardest: In the Post survey, 35 percent of Bronxites were voting mostly on crime, compared to 26.3 percent of Manhattanites; 38.7 percent of people making less than $20,000 picked crime as top of mind. These voters will ensure that a moderate will serve as the Big ­Apple’s next mayor. Of the eight men and women still standing, four are moderates, and three — Post pick Eric Adams, Kathryn Garcia and ­Andrew Yang — have a credible shot at winning City Hall. Of the four progressive candidates, only one, Maya Wiley, polls well, and even if she consolidates the ranked-choice votes of all four, it won’t be enough to win. The progressives, of course, are despondent. All over lefty urban Twitter — mostly affluent, young and white — the cries are the same: Why weren’t there questions about bike lanes at the debates? Why doesn’t anyone care about climate change?
