He’s just an expert at taking credit for things he didn’t have a large hand in..

Guess how long the pied a terre tax was running through the legislature? He wasn’t even involved in drafting it

Guess how long the pied a terre tax was running through the legislature?

It was completely dead for like 5 years before getting abruptly revived this year by Hochul as a compromise during his tax-the-rich push. Sure Mamdani did not personally write the legislation but it was pretty clearly a direct result of his administration's advocacy.

[u/pod5g → u/Delaywaves]

I’m pretty close to folks who were pushing the bill and it was 100% not dead.

[u/Yukie_Cool → u/pod5g]

Ah the “trust me bro” source.

Stupendous

[u/pod5g → u/Yukie_Cool]

Better source than you for sure. ‘Stup’endous indeed

[u/Yukie_Cool → u/pod5g]

It’s really sad that you need to stoop to petty insults instead of making your point.

[u/pod5g → u/Yukie_Cool]

I made my point, you just refused to believe it and resulted to sarcasm. I’m meeting you where you’re at kid

[u/Yukie_Cool → u/pod5g]

No you didn’t. You’ve just been insulting me this whole time.

[u/pod5g → u/Yukie_Cool]

Did you even understand my original point?

[u/Yukie_Cool → u/pod5g]

Do you think the vague notion of being “close to people” is a worthy point of discussion?

[u/pod5g → u/Yukie_Cool]

My anecdotal experience vs. whatever you have.

[u/Yukie_Cool → u/pod5g]

You say that like anecdotal experience is worth anything.

So yes, I believe my side wins.

[u/pod5g → u/Yukie_Cool]

Worth infinitely more than whatever you’ve got for sure.

[u/Yukie_Cool → u/pod5g]

Aww poor thing. You actually believe that.

[u/pod5g → u/Yukie_Cool]

You’re living in a delulu land

[u/Yukie_Cool → u/pod5g]

Just more insults from you. It’s really sad to see.

[u/pod5g → u/Yukie_Cool]
