Yeah, Dems should be somewhat concerned because it’s a symptom of the struggles that Biden had with minority voters and further slippage in big cities makes the upward climb in swing states more difficult, but imo losing a core blue state city on the federal level is just unrealistic.
I could see an American Rob Ford type winning a mayoral or state election in blue state/city by running against gentrifiers, the liberal elite, and whatever if the conditions are right (though honestly I feel like there’s still room for that in a Democratic primary). But on a national level, I’m still skeptical of a true multicultural right-wing coalition emerging – the electoral power of race-baiting within a Republican primary is still too strong and tempting.
