Mamdani has realized that New Yorkers — and all Americans — need to see the government working for them.

... instead of to enslave them?

Yeah, that makes sense.

Well, in context, it's more about the government addressing issues that people encounter in their daily lives and communities (potholes, public bathrooms, clean streets, etc.), as well as bringing visibility and awareness to these improvements. And how doing so will increase belief and participation in the government.

But, yeah, not enslaving the populace is good too...

If Americans wanted a government that works for them, they'd have it.
