The truth is, for years San Francisco voters have tried to pass Mamdani’s agenda — almost to a tee — and it has been as popular as you’d expect, even without his dimples and killer social media. The people of San Francisco have always been fans of a Mamdani-style platform. They’re not the ones opposing such an agenda; it’s the Andrew Cuomos of the city and their ultrarich backers. The political establishment and the economic elites that fund them have worked to block economic prosperity for working people at every turn.

Waterbury Roundabout | L Scagliotti
