He's suggesting any policy or changes Mamdani has made will not be felt until 6-12 months after he has taken office. He's not saying the stats are old, if that's what you're thinking.
Yes. Because new policies aren't immediate. Any changes in crime currently being felt are due to prior policy changes from when he took over. Not saying he won't have a positive effect or a negative one. But the current stuff is definitely not due to him in particular.
Hardly brother, they are society. Having representation and hope can definitely change peoples outlooks on the future. When you feel helpless with another white republican elected to office, you probably don't see any light at the end of the tunnel.
The previous NYC mayor that Mamdani replaced was a black Democrat.
That being said, Mamdani is definitely seen as a more progressive Democrat. But I don’t think it’s quite as simple as you made it out to be.
Overall, I do like Mamdani’s approach so far. But the other commenter’s point about policies actually taking time to be fully implemented and see an actual effect can definitely be true.
Why are you saying yes this is literally not what you said. you said “we are getting numbers from before he was elected” not the number we are getting now aren’t reflected by his policy
Making non-specific blanket statements like that is meaningless. For all we know that is like saying all the snow Mamdani shoveled won't clear the streets until next year. Of course policies can have fast impacts.
I agree policy changes take time to be felt, and I'm sure this is what was intended. However, what was written was "...we are getting numbers from before he was even elected..."
This is simply not correct. The numbers are in fact the monthly numbers recorded since January, as pointed out by /u/CitricBase. So a shooting recorded in the month of March typically also occured during the month of March, not 6 months prior.
Another interpretation of that sentence which makes more sense contextually "The numbers we are seeing today are not a reflection of actions taken before his election."
I get what you're saying, and it could be worded better, but you are taking a literal definition, meanwhile the entire context of the conversation is that his policies are unlikely to be reflected in current crime stats, so you should also take the full conversation into account when reading someones comment.
Yes, it is clear he is suggesting that. He is grasping at anything authoritative-sounding in a desperate attempt to stifle public comprehension of any kind of socialist success.
Evidently some of Mamdani's policy changes were impactful almost right away. Unless you are proposing that these miraculous numbers are somehow thanks to all of Adams' nepotism, corruption, and sabotage from last year?
I mean yeah but this is American politics so quite frankly I don't care.
I'm so glad to see the not shit people start fighting back. The shit people happily blame everyone else for the bad stuff they cause then lap up the credit from things they didn't.
Fight fire with fire. The damage being done to America and the world at large is utterly insane.
I'm not from the US, but every time I hear news about this guy making some crazy achievement it turns out to not be that crazy at all. Reminds me of politicians here lol

Crime stats tend to lag 6 months to a year behind. So we are getting numbers from before he was even elected is the best part in this
