It's quite fascinating that, on the one hand they think everything he tries will fail and he won't achieve any of the things he promised, and at the same time they also think his policies will destroy New York City and all the business will leave.

Well, in a general sense (meaning, to be extra clear, I am not referring to Mamdani specifically), "these ideas won't accomplish what he intends" and "these ideas will mess everything up" are not mutually exclusive at all. They're essentially the same sentiment, if you think about it.

I think the confusion is in the incorrect assumption that only the successful execution of a policy/idea/etc. can do the latter, but the same level of damage could easily happen in the course of an ultimately-failed attempt, as well.

That's enough pedantry from me for now, though, lol.

If you're going to be pedantic, you have to always reread for typos 😂

Those aren't mutually exclusive though
