He’s been mayor for 131 days. Imagine if every politician was young, energetic, and motivated to help his constituents like him.
No austerity, no cruelty, just results. This is how you govern for regular people — not the way Trump does for his donor class
Taxing rich people is the way to go. No fucking way I want to see trillion Aires.
This is why the rich, the powerful, and the NYPD absolutely HATE this man. He brings competence, compassion, and an efficiency to the NYC Mayor’s office, that threatens their deeply embedded corruption and cruelty.
It’s amazing that this is happening within the national political landscape. If nothing else, in an abstact sense we are living in a large petri dish right now.
See what happens if we ACTUALL6 do stuff n tax the rich. You get things done
Is the NY Post covering this? Or do they only cover biased and negative news for Mamdani?
Edit: nvm found it. Balancing the budget they complained about is bad according to them.
Good, get fucked Eric Adams.
They have spent decades building narratives why you can’t just do all the things that Mamdani is doing and he proved them all wrong. He did this in less than half a year.
That’s why I’m optimistic when you dump Trump in the trash that an actual progressive candidate can change this nation.
My former MAGA friend was shitting himself screaming that Mamdani would ruin New York. Wonder what he’s thinking now.
My favorite thing is people saying the billionaires will leave the city necklace of him. Do you realize how amazing your life can be as a billionaire living in NYC? It’s a giant playground if you’re wealthy.
Can someone smart explain this to me? Seems like all that happened was the state said “ok, you don’t owe us as much now”. Is that really just it?
Sigh. Budget all balanced, time for Republicans to come in and fuck it all up again, pillage evrything they can find.
It’s almost like the morbidly rich are hoarding, rather than paying their share of upkeep.
We need a president like him
But all the conservatives from middle of nowhere fly over states assured me every rich person was leaving New York City because their second home valued at $5 million or more was being taxed?
Fox News lied again? Say it ain’t so!
He is creating a tangible template for progressive governance. In the biggest city in the US he is showing everyone that progressive policies work. They are possible. They are affordable, and the rich and powerful are shitting their pants.
Puts a smile on my face.
Oh boy, Republicans and people that don’t live in New York are going to go nuts over this news.
Impossible. Conservatives told me he already bankrupted the entire city. It’s almost like they live in a completely alternate reality where they just make things up to fit their narrative.
Hey New Yorkers should be proud, they elected what seems to be a competent, caring representative.
This is what a competent and decent politician looks like. This is what is possible in America.
Holy shit he’s only been there for like 20 minutes lol that’s crazy
Wait this doesn’t make sense, I thought he was gonna do Sharia Law not balance the budget.
In under 4 1/2 months! No wonder the right was terrified of him. If he shows that his policies work then other cities and states will want to try them too
Mandani is the Democrat Liberals think Kamala Harris is. Elect Progressive Democrats, get actual results, not just platitudes.
Someone so competent is so refreshing. I wish there were more people like Mamdani in government.
Eric Adams can literally go fuck himself
It’s crazy what can happen when we elect people who work for the people, and not their corporate sponsors.
Republicans HATE this one trick!
Hold up. They told me the city was done for???
Has it even six months? I too want politicians that do things, this isn’t fair!
