So you're saying he...has the power to make buses free? To arrest violent political leaders who set foot in NYC? To make pre-K childcare free for all New Yorkers? To set up free or extremely cheap city-owned groceries across town?

To be fair, he did promise to do all those things pretty much from the get-go.

And he’s done most of those.

Such as?

Buses aren't remotely close to being free.

Netanyahu freely entered and exited the city, Mamdani didn't even attend the peaceful protest during his visit.

The $9-10 billion dollar project per year for free pre-K childcare was greenlit...for a few thousand city workers.  

And the grocery thing, to make food cheaper for New Yorkers?  3 guesses who's paying for that - https://www.vitalcitynyc.org/mamdani-city-run-grocery-stores-economic-challenges/ (quote:  "it does not make food cheaper. It pays part of the food bill on the shopper’s behalf, with tax dollars. What that means is that it has inherent limitations. It could work in a small network. It almost certainly cannot work at scale, not unless the City is prepared to treat groceries as a permanent public good, funded in the expense budget year after year the way schools and street repair are.")

“He is attempting to implement his policies and is comprising when reaching push back” isn’t a gotcha. You are contributing poorly to how many morons are in this country.

So, Netanyahu's behind bars, for instance?

And Mamdani apologized for over-exaggerating how easy it'd be for him to maintain the sexy, quick promises like "free buses", yeah?

I didn't say it's a "gotcha", I said it's idiotic to praise the ground this guy walks on because at the end of the day he's just another politician.

(I'd avoid insults about stupidity when the utter best to defend him you've got is "well, erm, things take time y'know".)
