Dude literally spoke like he is king and can decree a bunch of shite he can't do.
he will be less affective than adams because he will be dealing with Albany actively fighting against everything he is trying to do every step of the way.
Mamdani could literally sink the entire New York State economy with his stupidity

I listened. It was lies, damn lies and total nonsense. The people in NYC must not be the sharpest knives in the drawer to believe his BS

Why do you think his voters are "despearate" and what do you think has made them so?
For the record, I'm not discounting pure perception over reality, as I belive that drives a lot of voters as much as anything.
for them it is easier to vote for a pandering politician, then to actually try to change their own lives

I don’t know of many billionaires backing the likes of Bernie Sanders, AOC, or Mamdani. I do however know the tech feudal lords and other billionaires backing the mainstream politicians, particularly this current administration. It’s about putting people in political office not beholden to billionaires and who will put the needs of the working people first. The rich don’t need anymore tax breaks or special considerations. They already own everything are poised to eliminate the majority of labor via AI and robotics.
I want a bulwark in place to defend working people from the devastation brought on to them by decades of offshoring, horrific trade deals that prioritized corporate interests over working people, skyrocketing costs in housing, education, healthcare, groceries, etc. all while the wealthy make out like bandits, making astronomically large profits while every day people can barely make their mortgage, if they’re lucky to even have one. We watched our parent’s generations suffer through this and were not gonna sit idly by to see our fall victim to it as well. If they weren’t so willing to shake every nickel and dime out of our pockets to line their own, we wouldn’t be considering such policies. But here we are, and it’s time to fight fire with fire. Sorry, not sorry.

Because like you, they dont understand economics at all.
Socialism is a utopian fantasy, and never can work.

He's a mayor. How much power is vested in the mayor?

I never thought that about Obama. He flip flopped on many things. Sanders's support of Clinton exposed him as a poser.
Of the people who have run for president in my lifetime, I would say Barry Goldwater and Pat Buchanan were the most consistent and authentic.

But he gave rousing, "authentic" speeches prior to his taking office.

Absolutely. Newsom is a poser. He will say what it takes to get elected. He doesn't believe half the tings he says.
Mamdani is consistent and authentic. I would never support him, but...AS A CANDIDATE...he blows the doors off of AOC or Newsom or Whitmer.
wow we have 25+ years of Newsom in the media trying to defend the indefensible, the same thing will happen to mamdani because what he is saying are lies

I’d rather try and fail at a new approach than continue with this approach that’s clearly failing America and has been for generations. $40 trillion in debt and what do we have to show for it? We’ve been robbed blind and the poor will be made to suffer the consequences.

How does this apply in the context of immigrants from third world countries who live in and choose to remain in NYC proper?
Or starry eyed young women who move there for some advertising gig and barely squeak by without their parents' help?

Thanks for pointing that out...duh. My only point in making this thread was to point out what a good candidate Mandami is.

Its never worked. It can never work.
It cannot create wealth to sustain growth and spending, and caters to the lowest common denominators.
Socialism would be great if not for actual human nature, something you people have no understanding of, at all.
Its a utopian pipe dream which will be coopted by the first Pig that stands on two legs.

I agree completely with this. You run out of other peoples' money! All my comments are just to point out how good Mamdani is at campaigning.

be careful what you wish for
you should read up on Russia from 1915 to today, you might find it interesting
didnt turn out to well for the poor there either
socialism is the ultimate power grab, people love the potential of it but dont understand the reality of it until it is too late

Honestly, I don't know if he has the authority to raise taxes on individuals and companies...is that something only the state of New York can do?
It’s still up to the legislature but the NYC mayor has lots of political clout. Indeed, many times people know the mayor of NYC even when they don’t know the governor. Hochul and the democratic leadership in NY Congress endorsed him. He can’t enact change on taxes but he can strongly influence it
He can appoint all the members of the rent guidelined board. Similarly, he can appoint many other city officials. With a city GDP of 1.3 Trillion that can have big impact

Not well. I was just answering the question about authenticity.

Look we get it.
You turned on the TV last night and a good looking communist who won a race in a shite hole American city by appealing to those who can't make it out of that shite hole said some words all in the right order eloquently and gave you a tingle up your leg.
It just seems odd that for somebody who's been around since at least Goldwater is acting like this is the second coming and like they've never seen anything like this before.
