Career politician Democrats need Republicans to hold up as a villain so they can shine themselves as the hero. Win or lose with the legislation, they win because they stay in the game and their role continues.

A different type of Democrat that can upset their place within the system? Now thats a threat.

I think this is part of the problem with why the Democratic party struggles to get things done. Every faction of the Democratic party has different wants, but isn't willing to have an imperfect ally in office in attempt to accomplish their goals. So they end up fractured while Republicans will literally line up enthusiastically to vote for criminals, fraudsters, child molesters, rapists, etc. just to further their goals.

Government run grocery stores is the only logistical nightmare if he tries. The others are within his domain and should be fine to implement.

Yeah, fine, he's only extolling his virtues, describing a positive working relationship and excited to "get together soon," guess that's not quite "looking forward to working together" in those exact works. Still doesn't seem worth getting too upset about.

Okay, so a lot of pledges but no real action. Regular politician but I guess fighting for it vs not is better.

He just churned out the most votes for an NYC mayor since Dinkins in 1989. Also churned out the youth vote like weve never seen before and have been clamoring for in the democratic primary for years

I think they're addressing the promises that are (on the surface) undeliverable due to the governor statement as opposed to shitting on him for not delivering on the promises before actually getting elected.

Sort of a "frustration with election cycle paradigm" reaction than a specific "fuck this lying liar" thing.

Pie in the sky politicians have their place but can negatively affect one's view long term. Practical solutions hold more weight but from the list of figures. He mixed in both. Not all pledges need to be accomplished for someone to do well. Ineffective pledges as a policy is not something I reward. They are gearing to be in power. I don't fault them for not being in that position. Hence, my statement to say they are a regular politician. This is not complicated.

I believe they conflated the 18-25 vote and the next highest age tier as one block.

Or at least got the numbers mixed, the 18-25 block was somehow getting attributed with votes from the 26-whatever crowd if I recall correctly.

That's not too bad. Getting 20-30 somethings to vote more is probably more important than 18 year old anyway.
