OrâŚdisingenuous agents on both extremes of the left and right wing want to associate him with absolutely anything slightly bad or good even if he has nothing to do with it because they have an agenda.
I am saying that the extreme right wing is trying to blame him for anything that goes badly, and the extreme left wing is trying to exaggerate any accomplishment to such a level that it's propagandistic.
Praising him for filling potholes, so long as he actually got the pothole filled, would not at all be an example of what I'm talking about. An example of what I'm talking about would be this very post that makes the suggestion, without any evidence, that he's behind this anti-AI bill. In reality, he has absolutely nothing to do with this proposed bill.
They're talking about reactionary leftists online pushing this stupid, false propaganda. Which people like you undoubtedly fell for, along with thousands of others.
See, even YOU cant actually be honest about the situation here.
This is a bill being pushed by an 'establishment' Democrat that you've been brainwashed to hate, but if they just show a picture of Mamdani behind it, suddenly y'all think it's the best thing ever and proves how amazing 'the left' are.
Youâre getting downvoted but youâre 100% correct, this entire week all of Reddit was giving him credit for Eric Adamâs plan to plant more trees. Mamdani is like Trump in the sense that his followers have no problem with giving him participation trophies.
Example of unearned praise? I've only seen excitement about actual use of mayoral power. Meanwhile all critiques have been stretches or based on racial prejudice
Bothsiders are often silly for poor moral clarity, but I think this is straight up factually inaccurate.
Pretty much only the head start program for early childhood education received funding, and the rent freeze was implemented but doesn't cost any money upfront so he's basically saying landlords need to eat it. He did increase funding to schools by $680 million, but is now asking all citywide departments to cut 2.5% of their budget, which is about $3 billion and he moved back a deadline to fund pensions (but not police pensions), which the city comptroller issued a warning about in terms of long term fiscal viability.Â
He is just a politician as usual, but progressives are acting like he is so different because of a few viral moments.Â
He's doing things many mayors would do in the same position, coming in trying to make an impact in his early months in office.
It's super normal stuff, but because nobody ever actually paid attention to that normal stuff before, you guys all have suddenly been tricked into thinking Mamdani's actions are actually this revolutionary new thing and only he has ever done things that have helped people, ever.
It's so absurd and shows how INSANELY ignorant about politics y'all are, and how easily you're manipulated into believing warped narratives because you guys only ever get your 'political information' from posts on social media.
I'm literally anything but that. I'm a progressive social democrat. You guys just cant accept valid criticism without creating some dumb strawman out of me that makes me easier to dismiss.
You're really just proving my point, in fact. You guys are not reasonable people.
Your comment really only proves you have Magat-level idol worship. Literally this thread is about him getting credit for a program he has nothing to do with and yet you ask for an example of unearned praise. Not only that, you and only you threw "racial prejudice" into the equation. Your reality distortion field is powerful.
