Real New Yorkers are asked how Zohran Mamdani is going as mayor, they say he is destroying their city and draining their money

“There's such a delightful disconnect between how he's doing and how people think he's doing. He's doing terribly. There's homeless everywhere. They're just spending money they don't have

 

But to these kids, just like they spend their parents' money on college, they actually think, "Oh, look, he balanced the budget." No, he borrowed $45 billion from the state, right. Then he deferred tax payments with interest or something. Like, this isn't success. It's not successful to defer payments you owe and to rack up debt to the state. 

 

But the problem, of course, people like this, he's so smart. He moved in here. He took advantage of liberal idiots who are not the people who voted, by the way — only, like, 10% of the city voted in the mayoral election

 

— The people making the city make money are not voting for him. It's random losers. It's liberal white women. It's college students. It's Muslims. They voted for him, and now he took this thing that was built by the rich, that was built by the successful, and he's draining it of assets — It was never his to destroy, but it's his now”
