You seek more power so that you can do something with it. The NYC mayor can do more than someone who is not the NYC mayor. Therefore, Jeffries has no use for Mamdani unless he is elected. If elected, Jeffries won't have as much influence over Mamdani as he'd with a Cumo.
Do you? Some democrats (Biden, Pelosi, Obama, the Clintons, etc.) seek power to hold power. Buttigieg and Newsom seem the same. Mamdani seems to seek power to help people. You’re correct about Jefferies. He’s completely useless and needs to be premiered.
I’m unable to continue conversing with someone itching to reinterpret plain English with intent to snarl merely for the sake of it. Have a nice life.
