Oddbean new post about login | logout It's interesting that ZH takes a relatively conspiratorial view here while left leaning types were never fond of him and assumed he was corrupt from his time as the Borough President of Brooklyn, and normies have assumed he's just another incompetent mayor incapable of solving NYC's troubles, especially in terms of crime.
Lefty residents who didn't vote for him see this as their prayers because it's their best chance of removing him from office in the hopes of somebody that will be more amenable to their perspective. FWIW, the same people that would argue that NYS is run by terrible machine politics would generally turn around and argue that the US Department of Justice is probably the least affected by said machine politics.
