    He's melting down folks. Someone get this man a therapist!

    Zohran Mamdani Is Like a Bad Therapist
    Voters, like patients, often seek comfort rather than insight.

    A patient recently came to my New York therapy practice, shaken after witnessing a violent assault outside her apartment. “This is why we need Mamdani,” she said, referring to Zohran Mamdani, the socialist mayoral candidate who wants to replace police with social workers—a policy that feels good but actually fuels the urban decline my client witnessed. After more than two decades as a psychotherapist, I understand the reflex to trust a comforting illusion, in both therapy and politics.

    In therapy, false relief traps patients in their problems. In politics, it traps cities in decline. Our cities are being run like bad therapy sessions—all processing, no progress.

    Therapy works when it builds resilience, agency and accountability. Yet modern therapy too often prizes validating patients’ feelings over pushing them to grow. When that victim mindset drives policy, cities treat solvable problems as existential crises and avoid the hard work of fixing them. Just as many therapists turn patients’ everyday stress and conflict into “trauma,” modern politicians frame fixable issues like crime as problems too large to solve.

    I’ve seen countless patients whose therapists spent months echoing their frustrations instead of urging them to act in productive ways. One woman said her therapist told her to quit a new job after only a week because it “triggered” her. The real issue was her difficulty taking directions, a fixable problem. Instead, her therapist validated her discomfort, and the patient’s life stalled. In politics, leaders fluent in grievance do the same, telling voters they are “right to be angry” but offering no way forward.

    If that avoidance is counterproductive in therapy, in politics it can be deadly. Leaders trade real fixes for slogans that make problems worse. They shout “cancel the rent” instead of cutting regulations that suppress supply. A patient can’t complain his way to healing, and a city can’t red-tape its way to prosperity.

    Protests and marches have sparked historic change. But without practical action, they become bad group therapy—cathartic but unproductive, leaving cities in decline, only louder. Cities, like patients, don’t heal by endlessly talking about their problems. They heal by fixing them.

    And they can be fixed, both in therapy and urban policy. In the early 1990s, New York was a place many feared after dark. By decade’s end, it was America’s safest big city. Crime fell, investment poured in, and neighborhoods once written off became magnets for tourism and opportunity. That happened not because leaders said what people wanted to hear, but because they confronted problems and acted. Cities don’t need safe spaces; they need safe streets.

    Today, too many leaders nod along, offer platitudes, and duck the tough calls recovery demands. The result: shuttered stores, fleeing residents, and a public losing faith.

    If we want to save our cities, we need leaders who start actually trying to solve problems. In therapy and in politics, you can’t soothe your way out of decline. You must lead your way out.

    It’s been over a year, this is starting to remind me of Tinman fighting the LOFs. You two are bickering more than husbands and wives


    Ignore function, mentally or mechanically.

    no bickering. Bickering requires two people arguing back and forth. I simply quote his fine words for posterity. They are inarguably great and deserve their own thread.

    For guys like him and ATW, I've honestly always been really impressed by the stamina.

    I do think Astro posts a lot of interesting or insightful political information, amongst other things.



    I just think this thread is really starting to remind me of this

    99% of my posts in this thread were directed to two people which are @El_Conquistador nd @Os Trigonum .

    @Os Trigonum runs around calls me woke every month and trashes other posters yet nobody has the energy to care about it. I just find his hypocrisy hilarious
