Looking past the man to his party of choice makes him even more frightening.
With so much attention showered on the person of Zohran Mamdani following his shocking blowout victory in the New York City Democratic mayoral primary, it has been easy to overlook the underlying ideology of the party to which he belongs. And we are not talking about the Democrats, but the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), which Mamdani proudly joined in 2017.
But, you might say, Mamdani does not actually believe — or still believe — the most nakedly communist tenets of the DSA’s party platform, right? And even if he does, he surely won’t be able to enforce such anti-American, antisemitic extremism on the nation’s largest city, financial capital of the world, and home to almost 2 million Jews, right? Mamdani does not truly represent the heart of the Democratic Party, right?
In ordinary times, we might be able to answer yes, that New York is arguably the most left-wing city in America and thus not representative of the Democratic Party writ large. It might seem to be a given that, similar to the aftermath of the electoral debacles of 1972 with George McGovern and 1988 with Michael Dukakis, Democrats would move to the middle as they did with the successful campaigns of Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, respectively. But where is the evidence that the party has come to grips with its disastrous progressivism and consequent repudiation by the voters last November? In what ways is it tacking toward the center?

As Bongino often asked / commented:
Is it bad enough yet?
Yes.
Yes they are.
Never under estimate the power of stupid. When he wins, pull out those old video tours of Detroit from a few years ago ... that will be NYC.
Thanks for posting.

I’m beginning to believe the reason they are called blue states is because the Oxygen level in them is so low their brains turn blue for lack of it.
