You have to look at the big picture. These socialist big mayors don’t care about their cities, it’s a means to an end. Gain a foothold in all the big cities, then work together, and have the leverage to impose their will on the state, and subsequently Federal government to get Socialism nationwide.
I mean, one cannot have Socialism in one city, and these mayors know it. But taking over cities one by one, is the best way to achieve the Revolution.
Aka, The Long March through the Institutions.
