| Mamdani+ his team are genius at PR |

| In an age where cameras are everywhere, all one has to do for good PR is good. |
| |
| ▲ | inigyou a day ago | parent | next [-] | | Only if you own the camera system, otherwise they won't publish the video of you doing good | |
| ▲ | testdelacc1 a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | Which 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 19 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I know her name, but I definitely can't name anything she's done. | |
| ▲ | inigyou 18 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Mamdani is the mayor of the largest city by far. Of course he has the most visibility of all the mayors. | | |
| ▲ | anyonecancode 8 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Not 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. | |
| ▲ | pjc50 18 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | It 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. | |
| ▲ | testdelacc1 5 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | I 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. | | |

| It's an url shortener. I implemented 3 of these this year and nobody is calling me a genius. |
| |
| ▲ | chromehearts a day ago | parent | next [-] | | Because a genius would have only needed to implement a single one this year | | | |
| ▲ | dgellow a day ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | You’re making the usual HN mistake of focusing on the technical aspects | | |
| ▲ | hackernud3s a day ago | parent [-] | | I did the non-technical aspects too and yet I'm somehow still just a shmuck doing his job while these guys are geniuses. | | |
| ▲ | SiempreViernes a day ago | parent | next [-] | | You literally only said you made a link shortener, and even now give no indication you understand what aspects of the Mamdani communication strategy are being praised. | | |
| ▲ | hackernud3s 10 hours ago | parent [-] | | There is nothing to praise here because this is the obvious pattern. Doing anything else would have been incompetence. So yes he gets credit for hiring a competent dev, but to call him a genius for this is venturing into fanboyism / derangement. |

| ▲ | inigyou 18 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Did you put a URL like hacker.nudes/nudes on advertising posters? | |
| ▲ | blackoil a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | Bro, your handle is hackernud3s. |

| ▲ | jasondigitized 18 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | That's not the genius part, its application of said tool to a sharp problem. | |
| ▲ | shimman 9 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Because you're a tech worker that sees no issues worker for some of the most evil companies on the planet whereas Mamdani wants you to have childcare + cheaper food + better infrastructure. Not hard to see who is the genius in this equation. |
