Mamdani+ his team are genius at PR
- markdown 1mo agoIn an age where cameras are everywhere, all one has to do for good PR is good.
- inigyou 1mo agoOnly if you own the camera system, otherwise they won't publish the video of you doing good
- testdelacc1 1mo agoWhich is why another Democratic mayor in another blue city, who Mamdani considers “the most effective Democrat in office”, someone who inspires him - nobody knows that politicians name unless they’re really into politics. I’ll admit, even I’ve only heard of her because Mamdani name checked her. Mamdani’s every tiny initiative gets tonnes of PR because Mamdani and his team are masters of media. That’s what sets him apart from Michelle Wu or anyone else.
- ambicapter 1mo agoI know her name, but I definitely can't name anything she's done.
- inigyou 1mo agoMamdani is the mayor of the largest city by far. Of course he has the most visibility of all the mayors.
- pjc50 1mo agoIt is actually annoying that as a UK user of bsky and HN, I hear more about Mamdani than about Sadiq Khan. Mamdani is everywhere. Mind you, I'm also hearing a lot more about the former mayor of Manchester these days.
- anyonecancode 1mo agoNot just the largest city, but also the city where much of our national media is based or has a very large presence. It's so bizarre when I visit friends and family in other parts of the country and they know more about my local news stories than their own cities.
- testdelacc1 1mo agoI never heard of Eric Adams doing anything, ever. I couldn’t name the mayor between Adams and Giuliani. And I only know Adams because he was corrupt beyond belief. Mamdani is an outlier in how much positive attention he garners, even considering he’s mayor of NY.

- hackernud3s 1mo agoIt's an url shortener. I implemented 3 of these this year and nobody is calling me a genius.
- chromehearts 1mo agoBecause a genius would have only needed to implement a single one this year
- hackernud3s 1mo ago3 different clients.
- rolymath 1mo agoYeah but a genius wouldn't have left themselves open to a zinger like that.
- hackernud3s 1mo agoI'm not claiming to be a genius. Nothing in this article is evidence of genius. Competence maybe.
- CursedSilicon 1mo agoYou literally complained nobody is calling you one in your first post
- hackernud3s 1mo agoSigh. I was pointing out the difference between when Mamdani does something and when a regular person does the same thing.
