Republicans got their midterms bogeyman in Zohran Mamdani. Now comes the challenge: making the incoming New York City mayor’s brand of democratic socialism sink candidates outside his liberal bubble.

Not just this, but the entire idea of making groceries and rent a little bit more affordable is suddenly “communism”
This is a bunch of crazy bullshit spewed by Republicans to get you scared of doing the right thing and voting for this guy

I was about to say, they’re only doing it this way because you can’t just have them killed openly.
JFK isn’t on this chat, but I expect he’d have a comment.
Well it’s only different from the 50’s in the sense that wealth disparity is beyond that of the 1920’s and the current red scare doesn’t have a preceding 20yrs of socialist reforms propping up the economic conditions for the laborers.
Given the outpouring of support nationwide for Mamdani, this feels like a bold move. If they misjudge the population, this could end up providing unprecedented support for these candidates rather than scaring people away from them.
Hopefully we can capture this moment in time and use the momentum to establish real progressives in high places.
abolishing ICE
Fuck yeah! Sign me up for whoever is saying that.
