BarneyPiccolo comments on Mamdani balanced the NYC budget

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.cafe 2 points 6 months ago (4 children)

That's happening because "Ms. Hochul, ... is facing re-election this year, [and] needs Mr. Mamdani’s help in turning out Democratic voters in New York City." After she's securely in office for another 4 year term, who knows how willing she'll be to do those same deals.

If he delivers NYC, then he owns her, and she'll have to come through with the favors.

What? There's an election every year, especially in cities and states. There will be an election 2027, too.

Only if she thinks he’ll still be in power next time she faces election.

She'll be looking for some kind of job in government, and she's not going to want to be the guy that was pushing back against Mamdani's success, especially after his successes start to look like future Democratic policies.

Remember how none of those Dem pricks backed him for mayor, even against a door like Sliwa? Then when he gets elected, and has his Inauguration, they all show up to that party, and pretended like they were behind him all along?

He's starting to look like the future of the Democrat Party, and she better get on board, or get left behind. She knows what's up, she'll be riding his coattails.
