The new power broker: How Zohran Mamdani muscled NYC’s Democratic establishment

Reply in thread

I think they're trying to compare him to Robert Moses, who has a book called "The Power Broker" written about him. He was a prominent NYC unelected government official who held great sway over NYC and NY politics for decades.

I don't think it's a good comparison, as Mamdani was fairly elected, and didn't use his soft power to get others elected. He just endorsed people with the politics people have wanted for the democratic party for decades.
