Why do voters (in Blue cities) fall for politicians peddling FREE stuff? Haven't we seen this playbook thousands of times at this point?

This is especially challenging for levels of government that cannot access the printing press because they have to steal it from somebody. Mamdani has his eyes set on "the rich". Margaret Thatcher famously said, "The problem with Socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money."
