It could be a case of deja zoo. Zohran Mamdani could be the second coming of former lefty Mayor John Lindsay if elected to City Hall — a controversial and polarizing tax-and-spend figure during the 1960s-1970s blamed for the infamous fiscal crisis that nearly bankrupted the city. Historians and veteran politicos cite Mamdani and Lindsay’s similarities — charismatic figures who attracted young people to their cause and having liberal, big government agendas.
