I have not studied or have worked in a position close to politics, but in my opinion, it seems that Democrats take the Asian vote for granted and automatically assume they will have it due to historical turnout. Additionally, Asians are a smaller minority group compared to other minority groups which makes adding Asian issues as a focal point to anyone's campaign not as "sexy" or popular compared to other big issues like abortion or other civil rights pertaining to other groups. Republicans at least virtue signal -- not that this is any better. It's a shame to hear Democratic leaders just continuously not give a shit about Asians. Your story is very common among Asians, especially those in NYC. My parents were and are scared shitless to take the train and have avoided the mta since covid started, luckily they can wfh otherwise they would be rightfully stressed to the moon every day. Same story for many of the older Asians I know too.
Edit: grammar
