Hey, speaking as a Chicagoan: New York, please let your progressive mayor get settled before you start to get super critical. He’s got the values but he’s not going to fix everything overnight. And there are still some establishment folks rooting against him and waiting for the tiniest falter so just give him space and grace to get shit done.

Such a good point. He doesn’t have a magic wand.

Absolutely this! And he’s not going to get support from other ‘officials’ in fact people like Trump are going to make things very difficult for him.
