This burgeoning community and voter base is one of the reasons why former Congressman Lee Zeldin came the closest of any Republican in recent memory to moving into the state\u2019s governor\u2019s mansion. He lost, but the margins weren\u2019t as brutal as in past cycles. Democrats are saddled with an economic recession they\u2019ve caused, spiking inflation they birthed with their abysmal economic agenda and a president whose approval ratings are in the toilet. Democrats are also not worried about crime, though Asian Americans are, which is why they\u2019ve fled the Left.<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Democrats must make the Big Apple their battlefield zero if they are to reach out again to Asian voters. Stop Asian Hate fell apart because white liberals tried accusing conservatives (specifically white Trump supporters) of committing these hate crimes against the community. The truth is that most of those responsible were black. The story collapsed in days and the liberal media were forced to stop all coverage to protect the Democratic Party. There\u2019s another layer to this, which The New York Times covered in a recent piece, though they buried it: Asian communities feel Democrats work with black and Latino communities against them. With schools refusing to hand out scholastic awards to graduating classes since Asian students dominate, along with the sticky dynamics and lines are drawn in the affirmative action debate\u2014it\u2019s not surprising (via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/01\/10\/nyregion\/asian-voters-republican-crime-nyc.html?oref=csny_firstread_nl\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">NYT<\/a>):<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Karen Wang, a 48-year-old Chinese American Democrat from Queens, stated that she has never felt so unsafe in her life. \u201cBeing Asian, I felt I had a bigger target on my back,\u201d She said.<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy vote,\u201d She continued, \u201cwas purely a message to Democrats: Don\u2019t take my vote for granted.\u201d<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Besides crime, Asian American voters expressed concern over a proposal by former Mayor Bill de Blasio to change the admissions process for the city\u2019s specialized high schools.<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n[\u2026]\n<p>Even though Mr. Zeldin was defeated, his support among Asian American voter helped other Republican candidates win unexpected victories at the down-ballot level in legislative elections.<\/p>\n<p>Peter J. Abbate Jr. (a 36-year Democratic incumbent) lost to Lester Chang in one of Brooklyn&#8217;s southern Brooklyn districts that has a majority of Asian American voters. Chang was the first Asian American Republican elected to the State Legislature.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Chang\u2019s entrance, however, was clouded by questions about his legal residency, prompting the ruling Assembly Democrats to consider trying to expel him. The decision was made not to expel Mr. Chang, although one lawmaker, Ron Kim, noted that such an action would have caused a stir. \u201cstrong backlash from the Asian community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Democrats, repairing ties with Asian American voters, who account for about 15 percent of New York City\u2019s population and make up the state\u2019s fastest-growing ethnic group, may be a difficult yet critical challenge given the significant role such voters are poised to play in future elections.<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>State Senator John Liu, a Queens Democrat, said that Mr. Zeldin\u2019s campaign message on the crime issue \u201csimply resonated better,\u201d The Democrats must improve communication with Asian Americans, especially in relation to education policy.<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n[\u2026]<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>For example, in Assembly District 49 in Brooklyn, Mr. Zeldin received 61 percent of votes. This includes Dyker Heights and Sunset Park, and is dominated by Asians. However, it seems that more white voters voted. Similar margins were achieved in another nearby Assembly district, which is heavily Chinese and includes Gravesend and Bensonhurst.<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In Queens Mr. Zeldin was able to win 51 percent of Assembly District 40&#8217;s vote. This district includes Flushing, and is approximately 70 percent Asian. It consists mainly of Chinese and Korean immigrants.<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>There was a lot of support for Mr. Zeldin in these neighborhoods, which came within six points of beating Ms. Hochul. Most of the proRepublican enthusiasm seems to have grown organically. Posts in support of Mr. Zeldin were widespread on WeChat, a Chinese messaging and social media platform that is widely used by Chinese Americans.<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Interviews with Asian American voters revealed a deep dissatisfaction with the Democratic Party. Many of these complaints were rooted in years-old frustrations. Many said they were disillusioned by a party that ignored their support and moved too far to the right. They identified Democratic priorities regarding education, criminal law, and illegal immigrants as preferable to Asian Americans.<\/p>\n[\u2026]\n<p>\u201cWhy should I support Democrats who discriminate against me?\u201d Lailing Yu, 59 years old, is a mother in Hong Kong. Her son graduated from a high-school specialized in 2018. \u201cWe see Democrats are working for the interest of African Americans and Latino communities against Asian communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>I consider this a prime territory in which the Left could gain support from its base. They\u2019ve already decided they don\u2019t need the backbone of their coalition: white working-class voters. Because of the party&#8217;s competitiveness, Democrats were able to dominate national elections. Barack Obama won the 2008 election, particularly in 2012, thanks to his large share of working-class white voters. He was able connect with them. The working class was the backbone for Democrats, who have opted to surgically remove that bloc since they\u2019re too white, conservative, and uncultured. That\u2019s the arrogance of the Left, which has become more urban, college-educated, wealthy, white, and technocratic. They have black and Latino communities, but they\u2019re relegated to the outer party status. If we\u2019re going to rehash Orwell due to Trump, college-educated whites are the O\u2019Brien, the inner party members, while everyone else is the outer party. While non-white voters may be loyal soldiers, the message and agenda are controlled by the wealthy progressives who have the means to pay for the war chests of Democrats. That\u2019s political apartheid.<\/span><span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t think Asian Americans will get as much attention from national Democratic Party apparatus. They don\u2019t care, but they might if Republicans win some key races in this heavily blue state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Democratic Party is not popular with Asian Americans, at least not in New York.
