I get and agree that more progressive candidates are a good thing, but how much unilateral power does the mayor of one city really have, even if it’s NYC? Why is everyone, up to the top of the US government, chiming in on it?

Results are a HUGE thing the opposition is scared of. They’re making sounds like Mamdani’s plans are bound to fail. They sound like bullies when you stand up, “I’m not afraid of you!” Well, if you weren’t scared of me, you wouldn’t have to announce the fact.
If they weren’t afraid of positive results they’d be laughing, “Fuck him. Let him burn NYC to the ground and everyone will see how these policies work out.”
