Yes, I'm sure AOC's 77% Clinton, 82% non-white, $58k-in-NYC-money-median-income district will be very receptive to a Bloombergist-Bezosist primary challenger.

A poll showed the Amazon HQ2 project was more popular among blacks and hispanics than among whites in NYC.  Though how strongly held that support was, I don't know.

Ironically the people let in by Amazon HQ2 would have been more supportive of AOC.

Good thing if they won't be wasted on NYC then.

The bottom line is NYC doesn't need Amazon. The area the supposed HQ2? 3? I lost track? was supposed to be is already rapidly gentrifying anyway and Amazon will still be hiring in NYC.

It's shameful how Amazon made a ton of smaller American cities like Rochester, NY grovel at their feet only to pick the nation's capital and largest city which could have been predicted from day 1 without all the circus. The whole search (which is not being reopened btw) was a sham and just an insult to like 90% of America.
