    Wasn’t Mamdani the one condemning his wife for her open support for Palestine?

      Sounds like misinformation spread to fight the only politician in america actually doing shit for its constituency

        Reminds me of the Kat situation. Was getting flanked by Democrats, but also the most anti-Democrat Tankies because of not supporting Hamas (despite being Palestinian). I do think it’s our imperative to realize that no matter whether the Tankie movement is CIA-bankrolled or not, we need to leave it behind, as it only hurts us all with no benefit to us (really, the only benefit is to their accounts social media numbers), and start doing a proper peristalsis towards the Left, not a policy of rejecting the politicians closest to us.

          Well, quicker ones so far are the rent freezes and the 100k potholes fixed because he’s offering proper compensation for work. Next up are the city owned supermarkets and the tax on >5 mil 2nd houses on NY.

          He is actually opening up a city run grocery store and putting all the pieces together right now. Takes a bit more time than fixing potholes to organize, but it is happening.

          Besides the other answer that has more substance. He shoveled snow after a snow storm. It was after he got elected so it wasn’t only for PR. He was legit helping at the basic level. Showing people that is a good way to lead. The small things add up.
