This is one of the biggest issues I have with politics and leaders in general who make broad, sweeping claims that are unrealistic.
People want so badly to buy into these fairy tales that when you actually tell them the truth, that's not what they want to hear. So they don't want to vote for or follow that person.
Precisely, Bette! Which is why many on the left who support Mamdani have reacted so poorly when I question his basic authority to tax the rich (he needs the state legislature and in NY that’s unlikely) and the overall practicality of his agenda/campaign. People so badly want to believe his utopian vision of NYC they immediately jump to the conclusion I must have a bias or ulterior motive for not supporting him.
We are so far apart on both sides of the political spectrum. I don't know what the future of democracy in the United States is going to look like or if we're even going to have anything remotely close to the democratic system that we have had.
The unbelievable story here is how in the hell did Andrew Cuomo even register a consideration? I mean, seriously unbelievable.
