New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s popularity in the metropolis has surged since his election last month, according to a new poll.
Seems a little premature until he is sworn in and delivers on his promises
Wonder how the Democratic party will ratfuck this guy.
They’ll block his policies and allow special interests to run attack ads, then will savage him in the next primary that he was ineffective at carrying out his policies.
Weird how these progressive candidates keep having very high approval ratings while the moderates/secret Republicans get much lower approvals. Maybe we need to pick more of the progressive candidates.
Turns out people actually do like it when your policies are aimed at helping them do better, as opposed to robbing them of what little they have left.
Nah bro we can pivot right and get moderates. Please bro just one more drift to the right I swear bro, we’ll get the moderate republicans this time!
What if we became republicans? Then they’d have to vote for us!
So, what you’re saying is Newsom for president? Hillary?
I’m joking. You must want Biden!

I think you forgot a /s and your downvoters seem to need it.
At least, that’s what I hope, because that way your comment is a nice joke.
Slight Progressive and liberal candidates are out preforming far left Progressive in majority of the races.

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.
Helps when you don’t have billionaire-funded FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) blasted at you every day.
Good. The man deserves it.
Ideally, he deserves it. But so far, he’s done nothing, since he’s not in office.
