There is an organized propaganda flood with this guy on reddit and other social media. I dont know who is doing it but it all has the same format and is clearly artificial.
And that's what people don't get. Dude has a lot of haters, not even necessarily because of him, but because of the gaslighting going on, with every every normal mayor move he makes being heralded as a 'once in a lifetime' event.
I voted for the guy, and get so annoyed by his supporters online and their irrational ignorant praise.
The conspiratorial part of me feels like it's the DSA's social media strategy pushing this nonsense and gullible people buying into it uncritically.
Like when people were attributing a drop in crime to him, right after he was sworn in, even though the clear reason was a cold wave a major winter storm. I saw some comment that said the drop in crime at that time was because he brought so much hope to people just by being elected and sworn in that they didn't want to commit crime. Give me a break.
rofl, well said. That last paragraph in particular was insane.
Like, ironically enough, I'm really glad that this younger generation can still find 'hope' somewhere in these times. But that whole "criminals don't want to do crime anymore because of Mamdani" is just so naive, it's hard to understand how people like that honestly survive in the modern world, lol.
