Mamdani’s “message discipline” is just polished grift—a socialist rebrand of the same failed policies that wrecked economies from Sweden to Chile. Rent freezes? Proven housing collapse. $XX wages? Fantasy math. Free buses? Zero funding. Buttigieg’s right: Mamdani won by selling slogans, not solutions.

But let’s be clear—his “populism” is performative. Real leaders like Jim Walden and Eric Adams deliver results without bankrupting the city.

Mamdani’s agenda isn’t new. It’s recycled collapse dressed in TikTok aesthetics. New Yorkers see through the hype.
