Bro it was peak Covid. I don’t blame people for being confused, and Adam’s was smart enough to get the political class support aka the experts.
The majority of local politicians told their constituents to vote for Adam’s and that is because the main virtue Adam’s has is he pays what he owes. The people around him love him because if he says he has you, he has you.
It’s why you don’t see no one calling him out on his bullshyt outside of AOC who is a transient at this point. He’s machine politics to the T, but it’s not a formalized party machine it’s anyone who needs a favor and can do him a favor in return. Take it a step further I think he is the result of the two term limit too.
Every politician in city hall doesn’t have to worry about post Adam’s potentially he will be the only mayor they ever deal with so of course he has power with them too because they are going to want those favors when it’s time to leave.
Plus his major comp was Yang and Silva…. They sucked too, but quiet as kept you don’t see black people defending his BS at all and that says a lot.
