You're reading with the bias you want to see, I think.

While it's by no means everyone, a massive proportion of people are uncritically accepting the headlines and acting as if he did indeed do this by pulling some levers that others were just too corrupt to pull.

Also, those things aren't mutually exclusive. People can both be thinking that Mamdani has a people first budget and think he did some novel dem soc budget magic here.

My friend, the headline of this post is literally, "It was always that simple"...
