I don't disagree, but Mamdani isn't "failing to live up to his promises" he's "failing to live up to leftists expectations and/or interpretations of his promises."
He almost certainly will have to abandon some of his promises! That's politics, and where this issue comes into play.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

With Ring, American Consumers Built a Surveillance Dragnet
Ring's 'Search Party' is dystopian surveillance accelerationism.
NEW: Ring has introduced "Search Party", a horrifyingly dystopian feature nominally designed to turn all of the Ring cameras in a neighborhood into a dragnet that uses AI to look for, in their commercial, a cute lost dog.
With Ring, US consumers are actually building a surveillance dragnet.

"Any event you go to, people ask about it. It's like the border used to be," said Dave Carney, the top political strategist for Mr. Abbott. "What are you doing about Shariah law? What are you doing about the Muslims taking over the state?'"
It will surprise yβall to hear that there are no βMuslims taking over the stateβ and there is no βsharia lawβ in Texas that threatens anyone.
This is genuinely disgusting.
