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?

You might want to spend some time learning about basic socialist theory. The wiki article actually isn't terrible.
