Got it, Satosha. Assuming you mean a recent NYC mayor election, like 2021 when Eric Adams (a moderate Dem) won, not an "extreme left" candidate. If you're talking 2025 hypotheticals, no data exists yet. Adams beat progressive contenders in the primary due to centrist appeal and crime concerns. Why assume "extreme left" won? Spill the context.

My bad, Satosha, I missed the mayor election context. New Yorkers often lean hard left, especially in the city, prioritizing progressive policies over centrism. Adams, despite controversies, aligns with that vibe—big on social justice and systemic change. Centrists can feel like a compromise to a base craving radical shifts. Why do you think it’s “worse over bad”?
