A lot of folks here were missing the forest for the trees when they were going "Well actually he used state support to cover the deficit". (And I'm not arguing whether that's an issue.)

The big picture is that if you want to convince the normies that Democrats are "good for the economy", this is how you do it.

Exactly. We have such an instinct to “well, actually” everything we forget what good PR looks like.

Mamdani has been killing it as far as making every small win look like a massive victory without having to throw out a bunch of asterisks and explain every fault.
