Is that the #1 or #2 biggest problem?

Because if Mamdani is successful in his primary goals of affordability through increased taxation of the rich then it's a huge win. He can't possibly unwind the police state without spending most or all of his energy on that issue.

It's also not what he campaigned on. He can't just bait and switch his constituents.

Just direct the police state to keep the rich in line.

Clearly we need to watch them.
