If you don't live in NYC, what is this trust that you're claiming that he will betray? His policies will be strictly good for NYC.
Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani defeated the Zionist machine in NYC and throughout America. It is a good sign that America is shifting away from the stranglehold that this group of people have on American politics.
The right-wing Islamophobes are seething tonight. This will hopefully be a seismic wave that will run through the country and send every Israeli firster home.

He honestly reminds me of Obama but who knows. Atleast Zionist’s are mad.
He is only a mayor. He can't be compared to Obama. He won this election with his campaign promises for rent stabilization, taxing the top 1%, affordable childcare for NYC residents, perhaps increased minimum wage for NYC workers, free city-run buses, and refused to go to Tel Aviv after he wins the election. His powers are only restricted to NYC.
Thing is cities aren't real sovereigns, only the federal and state govs can actually legislate. Cities are delegated some local power by the states. But the state's governor is running for re-election next year so forget about jacking up taxes for the main tax base. Also free buses = mobile homeless shelters, toilets and drug dens infested with needles
Great news no more old scum bags running New York. I hope he gives us Muslims a good name.
Not sure if you understood my message but that is what I was trying to convey. He does not have powers at the national scale.
I think you got it wrong what Mamdani is trying to accomplish here. There are already city transit operating in NYC. Today, if you want to ride them, you will have to pay for it. He wants to make it free for city bus riders.
As for raising taxes, he needs the NYC council when raising property taxes. It is other taxes (i.e., personal income tax, sales tax, business and corporate taxes, etc) that needs the approval of state legislator.
Democrats need to join the abundance movement they need to listen to Ezra Klein more and Obama less
The Political Fight of the Century
For the first time in decades, America has a chance to define its next political order. Trump offers fear, retribution, and scarcity. Liberals can stand for abundance.
