New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, once a figure of contention among leaders from both major political parties, has seen a remarkable surge in his political standing just six months into office.
The 34-year-old democratic socialist, a prominent figure on the progressive left, has garnered unexpected praise from both Donald Trump and New York Governor Kathy Hochul.
He has also emerged as the face of the region’s sports renaissance. Now, days before New York’s primary elections,
Electing someone who is actually DOING STUFF for the city he’s elected to run? I mean, yeah we should totally hate that. 😩
He has certainly achieved many things from his list. Which I think is a good thing: politicians are obviously supposed to do what they promise to do.
The actual effect of those changes will be seen in the next decade, not right now. I mean the economic changes like rent freezes, childcare funding, “affordable housing”. Devil is in the details, so those things might go fine or they might go pretty badly.
electing someone who even understands what their job even is seems to be a welcome change. Schumer claims his whole job is keeping the dems in line with what a foreign power wants. And almost all of congress seem sto agree. Thats not their job at all. And that rot goes top to bottom through both parties. The president and judiciary also dont seem to understand what their jobs are anymore. Cops too, no frickin idea what they do exactly.
Cops document events and threaten violence. Well, instigate violence as well, but only the Rotten Apples™.
Yeah, wtf is wrong with Mamdani.
Doesnt he know hes supposed to make big promises, then do none of it while giving handies to CEOs in his office before selling his citizens out for literal pennies per person?
TBF he’s renegged on a lot of his plans and watered down all of his enacted ones.
Pretty normal for the DNC.
