most left wing major city in America

[memphis]

anyone who thinks NYC is the most liberal city in America has never been to 75% of the neighborhoods in the city.

Because a minority neighborhood is not a neighborhood?

over half the "white" (Jewish, Italian Irish) neighborhoods in NYC are not liberal.

Keep in mind that Manhattan has more than twice as many white people as Staten Island, more white than Queens, and almost as many as Brooklyn. And that the city as a whole is only about a third white.

New York has a very high variance, granted. And if the question were city with the most left wing white people, you'd have more of a point. But as a whole, the city is undeniably one of the most liberal in the country.

NYC may be heavily Democratic, but I don't think it's very close to being the most left wing city in America. The fact that it even has sizeable conservative Republican neighborhoods at all makes it one of the more conservative major cities outside the south.

The conservatives may segregate themselves better than in other cities. I'm not sure because I don't have precinct results handy for a lot of cities. Obama still won roughly 80% of the vote in NYC. Which is on par with many large cities in the region like Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore. And I don't get the impression that there are a lot of conservaDems in New York City.
