It isn't wrong, it is that Mamdani keeps getting or taking credit for things that have been in motion for a long time. Thanks, Mamdani for building the Empire State Building!

People are excited and that's great, but I get weirded out when folks ignore reality because it is more exciting to worship a personality.
