AOC as a mayor would have a far different set of powers and goals, and would be leagues better than what we’ve had in decades. Hard to compare the position she is in to that of mayor, and I think the majority of us here would like her a lot more if she had been a mayor this whole time.
That being said, Zohran will be a better mayor than she could be imo
And as the head of the executive branch in New York, Mamdani has more power in the municipal government than AOC in the federal government. Even if her head was once in the right place, she was doomed to get drowned out by the bloodthirsty establishment Dems. Mamdani has more ability to implement what he wants.
Nominally, he would be in charge of the NYPD, a paramilitary force with 40,000 armed goons. Obviously those goons are overwhelmingly fascists, and the institution as a whole cannot be reformed, but imagine simply not deploying the fucking riot squads and horse pigs the moment anti-genocide protesters pitch a tent on a college campus.
I agree. AOC would have been better off and more effective staying in local politics but she also wouldn’t have had the national fame she’s currently enjoying.
It’ll be better when she’s a senator or governor, I think
I don't think it matters how bad of a leftist AOC is when she's almost entirely alone in congress.
Yeah, but I still get major socdem vibes from her. I don't see much in terms of true anti-capitalist, pro-socialist messaging.
Let her be the right wing of the government, is annoying that all the discourse centers on one person cause you pretty much have nobody else.
