New York City politics are riddled with a sense of embarrassments that provoke shame when discussed outside the city. The current Mayor, Eric Adams, personifies this absurdity with his eccentric public persona and dubious governance. The job of being Mayor is perceived as impossible and unclean, often attracting unreasonable individuals who are unfit for higher political aspirations. The interplay of corrupt state politics, unyielding police forces, and powerful constituents creates a challenging environment. Furthermore, the influence of tabloid journalism like the New York Post complicates the political landscape further, contributing to the overall derision that NYC politics elicits.
Talking about NYC politics in non-NYC circles evokes a unique shame, exacerbated by embarrassing figures like Mayor Eric Adams, who symbolize the absurdity of local governance.
Voters and candidates alike view the role of NYC’s Mayor as not just impossible but morally compromised, further discouraging reasonable individuals from seeking the office.
