you have it the other way around, west queens voted for Caban and eastern queens voted for Katz
western / central queens is a good mix of immigrants, latinos and young white people on the furthest west gentrified areas
also not on that map was the 3rd candidate who was a white dude and held down places like maspeth, middle village, ridgewood, ozone park. there is a more updated map now.
i think there are a lot of home owners in eastern queens, along with older people, who are more comfortable with an establishment candidate. i think Jamaica, both Jamaica proper and South Jamaica went to Katz
younger white people who moved to places like astoria and LIC (aka gentrifiers) gave Caban a really good push. not to take away anything from the grassroots community support she had. but it was the same thing with AOC, who's district overlaps a lot of those Caban heavy areas on the map
its a huge win for change and a big blow to the old school establishment democrats who've gotten us into this mess in the first place.

again, not to take anything away from Caban, i would have voted for her if I could. im glad she won and hope there is no fukkery in the recount
but that tweet is misleading
2.4 or 2.5 mill people in Queens, sure. but how many are of voting age and are registered democrats who can vote in a primary?
there were around, or even a little under, 100k votes total. i honestly do not know if thats a good turnout. but i suspect not, there has to be more than 100k registered democrats in Queens...

cacs live everywhere but really the eastern part of queens is predominately black. upper middle class black home owners. the real heavy white parts, and im not talking transplant whites but 3rd or 4th generation NYC whites (think irish, italian, etc...) the cops, the union guys, etc... didnt vote for either Caban or Katz. they went with Lasak who wasnt listed on that map
His point was to show how big of a win this is for someone who ran a grassroots campaign by highlighting the population of Queens to show how many ppl her position she will preside over. In other words, we need more grassroots campaigns out here

How many people are actually in NYC?
they say its like 8 mill but i bet its closer or over 9 if you factor in undocumented people, which queens probably has the most of out of any boro
Apparently Queens political establishment is very powerful and took a BIG L tonight
