Why is it such a big deal who is mayor of NYC? (lemmy.ca)

I get and agree that more progressive candidates are a good thing, but how much unilateral power does the mayor of one city really have, even if it's NYC? Why is everyone, up to the top of the US government, chiming in on it?

Corporate wellfare is the antithesis of socialism. Corporatism, libertarianism, oligarchy are words that come to mind.

Do not confuse these terms. If rational discourse is to be had, we must be clear on our meaning and intent.
