    Its been like 4 days since he was elected.

    Why are you throwing pointless purity tests at the dude who is 80% aligned with your policies? Why not go after the dudes who are 0% aligned with your policies?

    This is fucking dumb. He’s a mayor, not king of fucking new York

      You’re the one missing the point. Politicians sell out to get into their positions. We don’t want concessions from a minority in power, the people must be in power. Mamdani led with rhetoric that he would upset that somehow, and is already giving every indication of compromising on every meaningful front. This may be your first rodeo but it’s not ours.

        Lol how much power do you think a mayor actually has? Everything he does is going to be an uphill legal battle. He’s like the only leftist in new York politics
