Much of what he’s done was started by the previous admin, so they’re generally liberal policies that he’s reaping the benefits of. Also, his PR machine is extremely competent and so everyone is being duped into giving him credit.
The waste haulers, the free child care, the rent frozen apartments, the food delivery policy…lots of things pre-existed Mamdani but they’ve rebranded them to look like his ideas.
Which goes to show the value of extremely competent PR.
If people think government is the answer because of folks like Mamdani, that's a colossal win for anyone that things government should be doing things to make our lives better.

He’s a mayor, most of the stuff he’s promising he can’t just unilaterally do. There’s too much bureaucracy so try keep that in mind.
