Some far-left supporters of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani are already experiencing buyer\u2019s remorse that their socialist savior hasn\u2019t been radical enough.<\/p>\n

Since he took office in January, Gotham\u2019s Democrat leader has failed to move fast enough to deliver on his campaign promises of freebies galore and not coming through for certain demographics, being heckled and shouted at by impatient leftists who only months ago were his biggest fans.<\/p>\n

Those free buses that were a key pledge during his run for office have been rerouted into the future, his commitment to being anti-Israel has been questioned, and some are already branding him as a sellout, just like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), a champagne socialist drunk on her own celebrity.<\/p>\n

Mamdani\u2019s hardcore left fans turning on him over Israel, trans rights and his \u2018AOC-ification\u2019 https:\/\/t.co\/ru6YZHqb8K<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/qrrtwHb7Nf<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe radical left is so extreme, avowed socialist Zohran Mamdani is not revolutionary enough for them,\u201d according to the New York Post<\/a>. \u201cThe New York City mayor has been heckled at Gracie Mansion, shouted down at events, and slandered \u2014 not by people from the right, but those on his own side.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s also been accused, somewhat confusingly, of being pro-Israel and of not doing enough for trans people. Socialist congressional candidates have even taken to using him as a bogeyman to promote their even more radical agendas,\u201d the paper noted.<\/p>\n

Radical left-wing former Seattle City Council Member Kshama Sawant, who\u2019s now running for Congress, is already contrasting herself with Hizzoner, whom she mockingly likens to AOC.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe AOC-ification of Mamdani has taken place at lightning speed,\u201d she wrote<\/a> in a February social media post, mere weeks after the one-time \u201ccommunist lunatic\u201d was sworn in, with the rats wasting little time in jumping from the ship.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is only one way to break with this endless cycle of disappointment and betrayals from so-called \u2018progressive\u2019 and \u2018socialist\u2019 Democrats: breaking with both bloodstained parties of war and genocide,\u201d Sawant added.<\/p>\n

Sawant\u2019s derisive term has been catching on and being echoed by leftists with each subsequent betrayal.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe \u2018AOCification of Zohran Mamdani\u2019 is a phrase that\u2019s going to live in my brain rent-free,\u201d a user on Democrat echo chamber Bluesky commented.<\/p>\n

The congressional hopeful also shared video from Workers Strike Back, a far-left activist group that accuses the new mayor of only delivering up\u00a0\u00a0\u201ca mind-boggling list of betrayals,\u201d including his endorsement of Democrat New York Governor Kathy Hochul.<\/p>\n

Another ardent leftist, anti-Amazon activist Christian Smalls, lamented Mamdani\u2019s selling out of his voters in a post to X last month.<\/p>\n

Zohran is going to break ppls heart way more then AOC because he plays the fence so well one day he can sound like a leader of resistance the next a shill for Israel. I knew something was off the moment he said absolutely nothing while he knew I was in Prison in Israel.<\/p>\n

Others have also been airing their grievances with the mayor over perceived betrayals.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe could be speaking out, publicly shaming folks, finding resources to help,\u201d whined a transgender Bluesky user before making his\/her posts private. \u201cHe has one of the most powerful bully pulpits in politics. He is not using it to support us. It\u2019s ok to be disappointed.\u201d<\/p>\n

zohran is a liberal not a socialist
\nanyone who says otherwise is a fucking idiot<\/p>\n

In February, after it came out that Mamdani\u2019s own mother once attended an event at the home of Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s madame, Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted sex trafficker, protesters showed up outside of Gracie Mansion with bullhorns.<\/p>\n

\"\ud83d\udea8\" Mamdani getting heckled by his voters already! That was quick! \"\ud83d\ude02\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s right, we know about your mom. Now listen. We was with you, Zohran. We voted for you, Zohran. We advocated for you, Zohran. We advocated for you.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s right, we know about your mom,\u201d one leftist shouted at the gates. \u201cWe was with you, Zohran, we voted for you, Zohran, we advocated for you, Zohran, we advocated for you. You ain\u2019t do nothing but get up in there and lie to us!.. Shame! Shame! Shame!\u201d<\/p>\n

Mamdani has already moved the goalposts on the city-owned grocery stores, which were a key component of his appeal, recently announcing<\/a> that five stores will be open by the end of his term in 2029, not much help for those who bought into his siren song of delivering affordability and immediate relief.<\/p>\n

It certainly isn\u2019t sitting well with leftists that Mamdani has warmed up to President Donald J. Trump since being elected, either.<\/p>\n

As a New York Post columnist so eloquently put it<\/a>:\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s barely been 100 days since Mamdani was sworn into office, and already he is losing the left. As Jacques Mallet du Pan observed of the French Revolution in 1793: \u2018The revolution devours its children.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
