Quoting myself from another post with that topic:
Mamdani's plans and actions are almost too good to be true, but true they are and they are more than a silver lining for a lot of people.
People like him are so desperately needed in the world of robber billionaires enslaving the whole world.
Those robber billionaires might not realize that yet, but people like Mamdani are going to save their lives by nibbling at their looted fortune.
And if the Mamdanis of this world fail, we can always resort to eating the billionaires.

Yeah, people were joking that the media outlets were afraid of Mamdani getting elected because he would fail as a mayor of one of the largest cities in the world. But what they were actually afraid of is him succeeding using socialist policies.
