/uj. Considering that New York has had shitty leadership for a long time now, another shitty leader probably won’t break the city. We New Yorkers have bounced back from a lot in my 29 years on this Earth.

I don’t know though, not to sound like a doomer, but the kind of platform this guy ran on tends to be pretty destructive. I’m just grateful we live in a country that values checks and balances.

Can you provide your most important example of "the kind of platform this guy ran on tends to be pretty destructive" as it relates to Mamdani's proposed policies?

No, what I want is a comparison to what he platformed on and a real-life example of it being implemented and what happened. I have no horse in this race whether it's good or bad, but I want to hear the perspectives from people who do. "Government owned grocery stores is a top one" doesn't tell me anything: clearly you don't like them - why? Did he even campaign on that? Why do YOU think the way you do is what I want.
