Maybe he will, but this title is intentionally misleading to make you think it is about Mamdani being corrupt. In fact he has nothing to do with the NYC City Council’s actions, who are clearly trying to get a raise for themselves (a 16% raise and the first one in 10 years after record breaking inflation… not the craziest ask), and will only be one of many to get a pay raise in city government if it is passed. And there is no word on whether Mamdani even approves of this pay raise.
There’s nothing to indicate he will about-face like Fetterman. He will endlessly compromise, concede, and triangulate like AOC does and that’s what he has been doing, (eg Tisch). That’s the inevitable reality of being a socialist politician in a capitalist state and why Marx advised against actually getting elected, especially to an executive. Believing he was secretly a fraud all along is Hollywood brained.
Fetterman never said he was a socialist or anti-zionist. People only ever liked him because he was pro m4a and because the elites hated him for wearing hoodies in the senate. No one knew just how much of a raging Zionist he was until after 10/7. Fetterman is not the reference for Mamdani. That is AOC.
I’m gonna laugh when he pulls a Fetterman

His model would be AOC not Fetterman. Platner is the next Fetterman.
Let’s hope, but so far the odds are good he will not be the lefty people think he is.

In what ways did you predict that Fetterman would flip prior to being elected?

Time will tell
Does he have a long history I’m pulling the shit fetterman did but it was all ignored in the election?
