About this listen

 This episode of The Other Side of Midnight with Lionel is an entertaining and informative post-mortem on the recent high-stakes New York City mayoral election. Get past the histrionics, the caterwauling, and the blubbering: Lionel demands an adult discussion about the facts and the future. We dissect the narrow 50.3% victory—did the winner just "squeak by," mandate or not?. The debate rages over whether opponent Curtis, the 8% candidate, truly affected the result, or if his role was "absolutely no no effect". Plus, we explore the shocking reality of dismal voter turnout (below 50%), the power of national progressive networks that 'engineered' this win, and why traditional Democrats are scared out of their minds looking ahead to the midterms. Don't worry about the past—find out "what do we do next?" Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
