We want Zohran Mamdani to succeed based on merit and real results, not promotoinal messaging.
Zohran Mamdani’s housing claims don’t show anything new. Forcing landlords to fix violations is standard enforcement under existing housing codes in NYC, Baltimore, DC, etc. That’s baseline gov work, not innovation.
The numbers sound big, but there’s no context. Over what time period? Compared to what baseline? Without that, it reads more like a press releaase than a real policy win.
Also, this is coming from a PAC aligned acct, so of course it’s framed to look strong. That doesn’t make it false, but it does mean it’s selecctive.
Bottom line: this looks like routine code enforcement being repackaged as something special.
2nd bottom line: come on Zohran do something meaningful, we’re counting on you.
Can we just be happy the guy’s doing something? I’m so despondent from the mediocrity of the average politician, and seeing Zohran get shit done is a relief for me
He’s not the one bragging about this, the Democrats are
Edit: the same Democrats that tried everything to not let him win
I think you’re missing the point. He hasn’t been in office long, and he’s getting shit done that other mayors dragged their feet on. The first and last ones seem to be the only ones that weren’t worked on in other admins.
According to his website:
- Intervened in the bankruptcy case involving a portfolio of buildings owned by Pinnacle Group, securing a $30 million investment and a commitment to complete repairs within six months.
- Reached a $2.1 million settlement with A&E Real Estate to correct more than 4,000 violations across 14 buildings.
- Won a historic $2.1 court judgment against landlord Seth Miller under the city’s Nuisance Abatement Law, with additional $1,000 daily penalties for ongoing violations.
- Conducted on-the-ground outreach to tenants in rent-stabilized apartment buildings in East Harlem to support organizing efforts and ensure tenants understand their rights.
I respectfully dissent, thats more press release repackaging.
It definitely is PR, but I think you should focus that anger elsewhere for about a year. Let’s regroup after that.

Isn’t that just called doing your job?
Have you never had a landlord before?
You’re right, I should have said “Doing the job you’re supposed to be doing”.

He’s literally a Democrat
Because there are only two parties and you have to pick one. They constantly undermine him.
He left that ghoul Tish in place.
And it’s her goons that arrested Chi Ossé
We’ll see what factually happens.34 million and only 6000 apartments.
Efficiency is the key issue everyone fails at here.
He needs to aim bigger, to solve most problems with one stroke.
Username checks out
He’s a mayor not a dictator…
As opposed to… 0 million spent and 0 apartments improved on the last 25 years?
How do you eat an elephant?
You start by killing the elephant.
Problem is too many Dems are trying to work with the elephant to reach a consensus.
It’s an expression. The answer is “one bite at a time.” When dealing with a large problem, you have to break it down into many small parts.
To quote Gavin “It would take several days of munching and chewing.”
Improvements take time.
It’s possible he’s collected (or even just invoiced) the money, but the work is still being planned/completed.
Furthermore, that’s under 6000 dollars per apartment. For what I presume are some of the worst apartments in the city that’s not bad at all. I’m assuming it’s stuff like mold, major leaks, recarpeting, and whatever else someone living with their parents wouldn’t know about.
6000 in 4 months with the system he inherited is still more that previously. Why do you think this is his final goal? Of course he’s aiming higher.
All those Dems who dogged him, still all showed up at his Inauguration anyway, to bask in his success.
I’ve hated Schmuck and Gillibrand ever since I read about how they colluded to kick Al Franken out of the Senate. I will never forgive either one of those backstabbing bitches. I can’t wait for AOC to primary one of them, hopefully Schumer.
That 2019 article is wild to read with the state of everything in 2026.
It is likely that Franken would have won the 2020 election, and we wouldn’t have had to deal with Biden or the resurrection of MAGA. He would have been a great president. Schumer and Gillibrand’s betrayal of their own colleague had severe long-term effects. I hate them both, so so much.
I think a better message here is “Democrats can deliver.” Socialists can enter the party and make positive change. In 2026, a lot of people have decided that’s not true, but there’s the proof it can be done.
The way that happens is not voting for the conservative democrats.
Well this is a dumb take (since it would quite literally prevent the “that” you want from happening). The way it happens is voting for whatever Democrat you can, and actively participating in the primary race so that you get the Democrat you want.
You could have phrased that better, but yes perfect is the enemy of good
Schumer did endorse Mamdani in the general, and Mamdani has been a DNC candidate even before he won his DNC Primary Election.
My favorite quote from Mamdani is that he is “a socialist, but not a communist”.
His ties to the shifty DSA aside, it’s clear that the supposed divide between Mamdani and the rest of the DNC is just desperation from anti-DNC advocates trying to rationalize their support of him during the primary.
That’s entirely meaningless that he supported mamdani in the general. Who tf else was he going to endorse? Silwa?
He supported him because he had no choice but to and Jeffries support at the 11th hour is just as meaningless. The DNC needs to be reformed, because the only other path is to go the way of the Whigs.
You clearly have memory loss, because the corporate friendly, wants-to-negotiate-with-Trump, slimeball from a previous erra, former mayor Cuomo was running independent in the general and was endorsed by Schumer in the DNC Primary. For Schumer to back Mamdani in the general shows that they respect the DNC platform and democracy more than their personal beliefs.
Meanwhile, the piece of shit GOP assholes like Trump completely abandoned Sliwa in the general, asked him to drop out because they feared the DNC candidate Mamdani.
You must have some memory loss ,because Mamdani lacked the establishment Democrats support. https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/11/04/congress/schumer-ultimately-rejects-mamdani-endorsement-00636312
Schumer caving on Trump’s big grift bill was the final nail in the coffin for the old Democrats. Ain’t it a coincidence that the 8 non-republicunts that voted for Trump’s dogshit weren’t up for reelection, so they could push the bill without damaging their image.
The vast majority of DNC openly and vocally supported Mamdani, both state and federal, because Mamdani was the DNC candidate.
The fact that you people can only continuously repeat the same two names who were reluctant over and over and over is evidence of that.
Yeah, that’s a good thing, but Senate minority leader and deputy are actual positions of authority and that means their decisions and opinions matter. Which is the source of my criticism of the DNC
The point being argued here is that they need to be replaced by people like Mamdani, so the party can actually start digging the country out of the hell hole we find ourselves in.
The DNC has to start pushing out the establishment Dems or the party WILL disintegrate.
They’re actually not much of an authority. Their job is to call votes. They neither decide legislative direction nor choose candidates on their own.
Their senate seats need to be replaced with people like Mamdani either way
Also don’t disregard local elections or people who are pushing quality of life improvements that may not seem like a huge deal.
To be fair, no one you can vote for will not just line their own pockets and do stupid shit as soon as in office. It’s likely a good idea to get rid of the orange troll because no one really wants to live in a civil war - so better vote democrats no matter what. But do not expect it to get much better than it’s now any way.
I know this is a crazy thought but… maybe a random “DemzDeliver” account doesn’t speak for the entire party. Maybe this stupid ass two party system the US refuses to get rid of causes all kinds of different people to be a part of each one.
Neither does random accounts spewing pro Chinese or Russian statements, but they never get the “they don’t speak for <>” treatment.
According to them, anyone even saying something good are directly tied to Kremlin, FSB, CCP and 5 cent army. But there’s caution when its propaganda from their side. Yaayy
Yankistanis love using these scare tactics until it comes to bite them.
It speaks well for the leadership and big names in the party though because they threw Zohran under the proverbial bus not only not endorsing him, but some endorsed Cuomo while not trying to talk him down out of running potentially splitting the vote. Fortunately it did not but in that instance the Democrat leadership would rather have let Republicans win than an avowed socialist who is making change.
For all the saying of not letting perfection get in the way of good, a lot of Dems and neo-liberals seem mad by it or try to say they were behind him.
Proof that voting in local elections matter. I constantly hear from the “BoTh SiDeS” group that down ballot voting doesn’t matter and primaries don’t exists.
Liberals gonna lib.
Dog whistle right there.
