Mamdani Takes NYC!

Already, before this election New York flight is well under way.

Almost certainly they won't be moving back anytime soon

Statewide Impact: NY lost 2 million residents over the decade ending 2023, with popular destinations like Florida, Texas, and North Carolina gaining from the outflow. This contributed to a $1 trillion wealth loss for the state during the pandemic, per economic analyses.

Not sure it is to be honest. He's a bit of a populist himself and there's a pretty high risk his policies will fail completely.

The silver lining is he's charismatic, young and shouty. It is a contrast to the washed out grey of the mainstream democrats.

Trump will make sure he fails by cutting funding. This is going to be tough for NY, they will take the brunt of the vindictive old mans reactions.

I don't think that will be politically damaging if that's the outcome, because there is a clear bogeyman and it is incredibly undemocratic.

The bigger problem is the "socialist" (which to an American means communist) angle. I just hope the Dems eventually fight fire with fire and start to pojnt out he has a crush on Putin and all things Russian. They need to be a hell of a lot less nice, as a party.
