The exaggerated narratives forming around Mamdani on both sides, mixed with the ease this “troublemaker outsider” entered the political structure makes me think, once again, this is nothing but smoke and nothing will fundamentally change in NYC nor America as a whole. If anything, it just further encourages people to entrench themselves in bipartisanship when we all know both sides are corrupt criminals who only give lip service to their respective demographics. 🤷
