Wait until he starts making policy. Then see if you’re still thrilled. We’v been disappointed in the past.
some things are more do-able than others. Free buses is easy. bringing down rents, not so much.
I’m more concerned with performative things like (hypothetically) making it ok to paint rainbow crosswalks vs. taxing billionaires or allowing ICE to go uncontrolled in the Boroughs.
The optimist in me wants you to shut up but the realist in me knows that will be the true test.
Agreed. Sucks being a lib/progressive and being constantly disappointed in some way by your leadership. Meanwhile, the right sets everything on fire, including themselves, and parties like it’s 2099.
“making policy”. Yes, the mayor. Who makes the laws. That mayor making policies.
The mayor of New York City makes policies that affect more people than the governors of all but the twelve largest states. More than the smallest ten combined. His policies affect almost as many people as live in the rest of New York State.
Mamdani is about to become a massively powerful figure in American politics.
