      Patiently waiting for republicans to tell me how this is wrong or bad

    2. This man is a masterclass in how politicans should actually conduct themselves. Just being a good person and getting shit done for their constituents. NYC must be feeling blesssssed right now.

      I ain’t even american and I keep celebrating how good of a job he’s doing. Here’s hoping people around the world look at his policies as an example

    4. Almost like these things are possible and our current political standards are dog shit.

      This man is amazing and even if he won a presidential primary with near perfect approval numbers the democrats still wouldn’t let it happens.

      admittedly weird comment. but imagine being his wife? 🥵🥵🥵🥵

      love him. it’s so disappointing he cannot run for president.

    7. Important to note that a key reason why the budget gap can now be closed is the agreement with Gov. Hochul to top up state-level financial assistance by an additional $4bn, totaling $8bn over two years and in the process, avert the need to raise property taxes in the city.

      I watched the video to get the answer to my question of how and now I have a new question of how did he do it so fast? It proves that everyone before didn’t want to not that they couldn’t

      Crazy what happens when you actually “cut waste” instead of just using it as a guise to steal people’s data.  

      Mamdani is really showing how quick and easy it is to actually serve your constituents.

      Good. Now stop the synagogues auctioning stolen Palestinian land please

    11. mf is doing what mayors werent capable to do in 2 terms in less than 6 months thats crazyyyyyyt

    12. Weird thing in all this is that Mamdani is portrayed as an anomaly when he should be the norm. Americans drooling over him is simultaneously kinda funny and sad. Like a victim living with an abuser their whole love and surprise when meeting a normal person who treats you like a person. Happy for New Yorker and hope Americans now have a higher benchmark for their politicians 🙌🏻

      All I’m hearing from the conservatives is “everyone rich has fled NYC! All the businesses are leaving!”

      No talk of this…
