@Pioneer1 this made me laugh, even enough. I will only add the following... so often online humans chime in on affairs of governance or complex communal human relation , but, the lack of effort in the details , in the wordy thesis , only supports the internets overall poor quality in discourse. I was taught that each individual in humanity is unique and you can only know what one will do when they do it. But, to your question, he is no different than AOC, the one from the central park five representing harlem in the city council, the brooklyn or queens borough presidents, a bunch of people who got elected on platforms of bloated promises who are gambling the voting population will be willing to support their continual bids. I argue, Deblasio + Adams were the end of an era for mayor of NYC. from Lindsey to Adams NYC mayors overall have been variations of centrism. trying to be a kind of middle, each favoring different things so a tilt but overall central. Mamdani in my gamble to the future will legally/functionally be a centrist but his rhetoric will be left. Although a key part to Mamdani is the governor and president, what either of them do has a huge role to play. Hochul is a centrist. She doesn't hate expanded government welfare but she wants to keep the fiscal capitalistic dream alive, the idea that fiscal capitalism can work even in a usa unlike at any time before, where the populace has the most universal rights, even the native american has rights, where the populace has the most variance of fiscal wealth, more non whites or more non males or more non christians have money, significant sums than any time before in New York State. So fiscal capitalism in the usa has never had to deal with the environment it has now. So I think Mamdani is different in important ways but will not act different largely because his superiros, governor+president will not let him.
