Pothole politics': A smart strategy from Mamdani, or a distraction?

After a little more than 100 days in office, Mayor Zohran Mamdani has a new catch phrase: "pothole politics." The new rallying cry is not just about the 102,000 potholes the city has filled since Mamdani took office, but also is meant to suggest that socialists can solve small problems at the street level, not just advocate for big revolutionary ideological change. So what do New Yorkers think of the approach? Some call it a smart strategy, while others view it as a distraction or a return to "broken windows" politics.
