A billionaire mayor with Republican support is getting a pass for re-election from mainstream media and large sectors of the Democratic Party, including many who consider themselves liberals and progressives. This conversation I had with a self-described liberal (actually a fictional composite from several people I talked to) shows how effective the mayor’s multi-million dollar effort has been to create a populist image going from right to left that hides his conservative politics. I will call this Bloomie voter “Libberg.”
