I think Zohran Mamadani is much more pragmatic, results-oriented policy person than his activist politics suggests and I would venture to guess a lot of people who were skeptical of him will be surprised by the range of things he'll embrace. A lot of people seemed to see that in his evolution on housing policy.

What makes you think this? The policies I’ve seen from him (city run grocery stores) are absurd.

I agree it’s unlikely to work but it’s just a pilot program

what are the policy proposals from him that you think are pragmatic and good?
