Yet we always read here in GD that NY is actually conservative
View Quote

Outside of NYC, Albany and one or two other cities, yes it is generally conservative leaning. Its like that in many blue states. The Dem vote typically congregates/concentrates in the urban area and outnumbers the voters in the sticks, typically by a wide margin.

NY State voter registration Feb 21, 2021

Per the PDF linked roughly half (3,376,341) of the 6,216,759 active Democrats are within the NYC city limits. For Republicans most live outside of NYC. Active Republicans within NYC - 501,848, Active outside of NYC - 2,745,827.

Statewide Total
Active Democrat: 6,216,759
Active Republican: 2,745,827
Active Blank: 2,795,205

I'm hoping this is either bitchy dumb bluster or some sneaky plan to extort money for her failing state from all the people leaving, but seeing this, Biden clearly pandering exclusively to the cultist left and directly against everyone else, and Crist down here telling me to keep my vote and "hate in my heart" and to basically go fuck myself I'm getting concerned about why they're so confidently dropping all pretense of cooperation or even coexistence all of a sudden.

Repressive tolerance is what they operate under. Basically, their "tolerance" is that the left must always be tolerated while the right must never be tolerated. Just like when they say "compromise" they mean "you compromise".

Could it be that Wendy Long was just a horrible candidate? A common problem with Republican candidates in liberal states. She lost to Kirsten Gillibrand in 2012 by almost the exact same margin (71.9% - 26.7%).

Plenty of other graphics to show turnouts upstate/outside urban areas that leaned more Republican at times.

I dont see how that passes constitutional muster given it discourages interstate travel. And if a state cannot encourage a person to stay  out of it (we will drop the charges if you never show your face here again type), then a state cant similarly encourage you to stay in it

Yes, unfortunately that is how it is.  The guy behind the gun counter at my local store actually made a valid point.  He said how many people vote Red doesn't matter it is WHERE they vote Red.  For example my pro-gun US rep winning with 70% of the vote instead of 51% of the vote doesn't change anything in in how the country is represented.  If that extra 19% had lived in a battleground Blue district they could flip it Red and that same number of Republicans would have then changed how we are represented.

True. I know some and one moved here from NY. Although the guy says he's pro 2A and took up hunting pretty seriously, he seems to be more pro hunting than pro 2A. Still has not gotten his CCW yet took the class many years ago and although we just got Constitutional carry, he doesnt carry last I heard. I spoke to him about ARs for hunting and for defense for over three years - still has not bought one and money is no excuse, he became a millionaire with the oil/gas leases here many years ago. He said his whole family are from a small town in NY - all flaming liberals. They are in shock that he bought guns and took up hunting. When he speaks about gun freedom, he has an apologetic tone which I always call out.
