Contrary to some belief, perception is NOT everything. Folk who get elected based on voter "perceptions" tend to implement disastrous, irrational policies that harm innocent folk. Ask Abner Louima, plus the families of Amadou Dialo, Patrick Dorismond and Gideon Busch about crime policies implemented based on perception, in New York City. And nationally, perceptions of election elections being stolen, despite no proof, are just as bad. And, the voters sent the appropriate message!
With that said, can we choose to come up with fair, balanced, reasonable and lawful strategies to combat crime, without having to cater to fear-mongering......?
Voters sent the appropriate message alright, which is why Hochul only won by 5% points and several seats were flipped by Republicans in a heavily Democratic City...
