Hmm so strange how you get high approval ratings when your policies are not against the people.
Hmmm 🤔
Except it's only for NYC, for the rest of the state his approval ratings are actually going down. That's common though. Urban liberal areas usually think positively of liberal politicians, but when you add in rural areas, their approval ratings drop dramtically. Basically nothing has changed, even with someone as well liked as Mamdani.
The rest of the state that he is the mayor of…
Yes, we all know that he is the mayor of NYC, not the governor of NY. However the mayor of NYC is often seen as wielding as much power as the governor, hence why there are always comparisons, and they are valid when looking at larger approval ratings of policies. If this was some DSA mayor of a small city in the middle of nowhere, there wouldn't even be a news story about it. Hell, there are many very liberal mayors in California, and they are hardly talked about, for the exact same reason.
Nice!
I'm not American and I love ~~president~~ mayor Mamdani
"Struggles with state" is such a weird talking point. He's a mayor, not a state rep.
It's a big talking point. Mayor of NYC is basically seen as wielding equivalent power to the state governor, so it's a popular comparison, and shows that Memdani's politics which work well for a urban liberal city don't scale to state wide policies, which is quite common in the US. The real power and show that Dem politics are changing is if Memdani's approval increases state wide and more DSA members win elections across the US in November. It seems like in very strong Dem districts this is possible, but in toss up, or weaker Dem districts, the centrists Dems are the ones that have been winning primaries.

You know during the campaign my only exposure to the guy were clips of him absolutely devastating Cuomo so I am sort of surprised now when I see clips and he looks so happy and friendly
If you stand next to someone who sexually assaulted over a dozen women and who killed 15,000 mothers, fathers, grandmothers, and grandfathers in nursing homes, you might understand.

'That's the sound of millions of inbred morons screaming in impotent rage, and were suddenly silenced'
