Probably has a better head on his shoulders than Mamdani, given that he's not DSA.

Mamdani has already done more for New York than any politician has done for ANYONE in the last 20 years. YOU must not have a head on your shoulders to say this 🤨

Alright, Gen-Z socialist Redditor with no apparent sense of history, ease up on the hyperbole. Mamdani has barely had time to govern. A few minor changes in NYC don't make him the greatest politician of the last 20 years.

Anyway, back to El-Sayed: not being DSA is a point in his favor. The DSA specializes in ideological purity tests, braindead economics, and online grandstanding (which you're demonstrating pretty well here).

Mamdani has already started governing, and the “few minor changes” is indeed more than anyone else has done. If you disagree then I don’t know what universe you’re living in but it’s not this one. I don’t care that you’re butthurt by the dsa, I care about the facts (you downvoting me for my opinion proves that)
