Mamdani is a political bulldozer...

The Governor has the power to remove him from office.
I doubt if she'll do that.... But they must be talking to each other right now because all of them have their hand in the till....James is a slumlord.... I wonder what her reaction will be?
 
Be careful, you sound like you are in love. He's a scam artist, and has no way to achieve what he promised.
Oh no he doesn't fool me.... I'm just amazed that someone on the left finally figured out how to beat out a message! He's going to run into a stone wall full of spikes... That's for sure.

He ran an unorthodox campaign.
 
The guy is an extremist left winger. That won't play well outside of urban enclaves. He may be right about the property tax issue, but most of his ideas are unrealistic pie in the sky that people can see through and would quickly result in destruction if ever implemented.

I have to agree
 
I'm just glad I don't live in NYC.
 
He ran an unorthodox campaign.
He spoke to the people in clear, enumerated messages. It wasn't 100% orange man bad although he did take a few swipes at Trump but he kept it on the light side. He might as well have taken MLK's I have a dream speech... Because it was definitely more emotion than it was reality.
But the Democrats should take a lesson from him and how to communicate to a crowd. They have completely forgotten.
 
This is something I actually agree with him on and it's a point I made myself years ago. Property tax rates shouldn't be capped. Everybody should be paying property tax on the fair market value of their home. Capping rates has distorted the market.
Do they get more/better service for the higher $$$ they pay?
 
AOC wants all those things too, and look at how bad her district has become regarding crime

They are all the same really.

The DNC is afraid of AOC.

Collectivism is a noble sounding poem and a siren song to the ears of the oppressed. When implemented it also becomes their casket. There are just too many cycles of history that have born out that precise eventuality to argue with it.

That's because after 50 years of selling the lowest common denominator it finally produced a human apparition that is exactly the fruit of that same LCD. The reverberations of maudlin populism have always been at the forefront of the bloodiest revolutions and the most virulent culture wars. Remember.... the Frankenstein monster turned on its own creator!

Yep, it's coming.
 
You can see his plan to power in just the first item in the list.

He means to create ghetto housing for those who think the world owes them a living at no cost and plans on using that program as a means of permanent reelection. As with all housing for the poor and welfare housing, they will quickly become ghettos that will be epic centers of crime, drug usage, child abuse, and lawlessness.

I'm sure you can see the same playbook in all the other campaign items on the list.
Selling the lowest common denominator...
It's what the Dems have always done.

Homes are massively inflated as extra fiat currency printed goes somewhere. People may not afford the property tax if it is taxed at fair value.

Yes....Hitler had his good points as well.

Yeah like I said I don't think his knowledge of economics is particularly sharp. He has a pretty vision of how everything should be but absolutely no idea how to get it there.

It's funny you mention that because I was tempted to bring Hitler into the conversation. This is precisely how Hitler made his bones. Virulent populism.....
