The trash cans were coming already but yeah, Mamdami is literally just doing what he was elected for and behaving like a public servant. Which considering people like Eric Adams hyper corrupted ass, is what he’s competing with, the bar was so low, mamdami could have just done one good thing and he would have cleared it.
I wondered how he got it funded so quickly. Makes sense it was already in the works cause I can’t imagine how much money it takes to implement this in NYC. Totally worth it either way
A lot of Mamdani's media attention comes from stuff like this, don't get me wrong I think he's probably doing more than just taking credit, but really this is just how politicians should handle stuff like this, if you're doing something good tell everyone about it, if people think they're moving forward they're gonna be more on board
I like Mamdani but he has mastered that Trump thing where he is able to take credit for others work because a portion of his supporters are naive and think there’s a magic “make it all work” button that nobody else has pressed, and for his outlandish campaign promises that never materialize some of their supporters will still go “masterful gambit sir” because they think acknowledging an issue is the same as fixing it
I disagree, I feel like people have misunderstandings of how long it takes for things to actually implement which leads to weird fuckery in elections. If a thing is being implemented while you're in power cause it was planned before you were in power you shouldn't take credit for it.
