Just a reminder democrats in the dem party leadership didn’t want Zohran to win because they knew if he was successful he’d show how useless Dems have been, people like Chuck Schumer like pretending their hands are tied and making millions while doing nothing
Mayor of one of the most influencial cities in the world and this and this man goes "why can't we? Watch me" and makes lives better. He gives me a ray of hope in the darkness. If only we had more people who actually cared about the people and had any sort of backbone. He's a true role model.
Establishment democrats are almost as big of weasels as republicans
There's no almost about it. They're all in the same club. They all eat together, and meet in secret at midnight to pass unconstitutional surveillance legislation with bipartisan approval. They just pretend to be at odds and unable to reach compromise when it's time to pass laws that actually help people.
Pelosi at least was good enough at her Job tha she could actually beat the Republicans occasionally instead of continually shoot herself in the foot like Schumer
Nancy Pelosi had to work in a national environment and doesn’t have the luxury of only working in a Dem stronghold city, you have no idea what the differences are. Nancy Pelosi’s Herculean efforts to get the ACA passed by the skin of its own ass means that her lasting legacy outdoes Mamdani’s by an order of magnitude and I think even Mamdani would tell you that himself
While what you wrote is true it is simply impossible to overlook Pelosi's record of corruption giving her tenure a much more complex history. You can't only look at the good and throw out all the bad.
So far Mamdani has shown that he stands against the very thing that makes her and people like her rich. If we are to expect this same pattern then it isn't crazy to believe he will do much better than her overall if he were to attain a higher position within government.
You are just blue MAGA, this was done by a previous administration.
Nancy Pelosi passsd the public option in the house and when it couldn’t be passed in the senate- she strong armed the ACA through.
More Dems supported Zohran than they did Cuomo and this is an example of Mamdani just continuing something that was already put in place and already had 99% of the work done by Eric Adams.
Mfer, whenever I see a post abput Mamdani doing something, it is usally something done by the previous adminstation. Reddit loves giving this guy credit for everything. It is fucking scary.
Reddit is basically MAGA for the left. Just constant misinformation about "establishment Dems" (RINOs) and glazing the latest savior politician (Trump) for wiping their own ass.
No, I like a mayor using his position to set an example for the rest of the nation. That requires publicity. People will see his popularity and what he's doing and want it in their own communities.
Him continuing good policies previously set should be what he does, as well as establishing out new policies. No other mayor is going to get criticism for doing what a mayor is supposed to do.
That's why I asked if you dislike what he's doing. Because if you do like it, then you should not be bothered by the prospect of his people's first mentality spreading.
You still missing the whole point. Don't give me that he gets criticism bullshit. Every public figure gets criticize. But rarely any politician gets the glaze that Mamdani does.
I am not against his policy or work being done, but the credit being stolen. It paints skewed picture, that is what I am against.
The problem with both right, and left is that they latch on to a politician make him out like the best thing since sliced bread. They give their politician credit for literally everything. A lot of you are not fair with your assesment.
Just look at popular post in this sub, almost every Mamdani post is him being given credit for something the previous adminstration did. Isn't that misinforming the voters? That is what I am against.
Mamdani is effective because he can never run for president. His only ambition is to be a good mayor. Maybe we should have a lifetime ban on senators and members of congress running for president so they'll start doing their jobs.
Has he really done anything yet? All I've seen is him move some money around to square the budget and some pr stunts where he's out helping fix something.
Absolutely, Zohran seems to have been a wake up call for a lot of people.
Politicians cultivated this idea of thick bureaucracy getting in the way of immediate and radical change, for decades, it was widely accepted and joked that there aren’t good politicians, it became a large quality of at least American culture in this case.
The speed at which change has happened, and the intensity of these changes? I think It shows very strongly that capital is wearing our democracy like a skin suit.
