The Red Sun Rises: How Democratic Socialism Swept the Vote
Cornell Daily Sun ^ | November 18, 2025 | Mina Petrova

It’s Tuesday, Nov. 4: Election Day 2025. The day began with the death of Dick Cheney and ended with the election of Democrats and Democratic Socialists all over the country.

I grew up in Astoria, Queens — the heart of the NYC Democratic Socialists of America with Tiffany Cabán, Zohran Mamdani and Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez as my DSA-endorsed representatives. Ever since the Democratic primary, I had been counting down the months, days and, by 8:59 p.m., the seconds until New York City would elect a Democratic Socialist as our mayor.

After that, it was disappointment after disappointment with Trump’s first far-right candidacy and disillusionment over Biden’s support of Israel in its genocide of the Palestinian people.


Interesting insight into the philosophy of today’s college lefties. Don’t much care for Jews and Israel

Americans are in for a rude awaking allowing the miggies and muzzie take over America. Free isn’t free but wait until the retards she how much Socialism/Communism costs. You can vote your way into Socialism but you’ll have to shoot your way out.

I read the article. The multiple layers of false assumptions about the nature of reality are staggering.

But what do you expect of a young man who was raised with those false assumptions?

Offer utopia without having to pay for it.

Free stuff, we only need to vote for it.

The only reason socialism has failed is because of capitalist machinations.

Maybe he will discover reality as he grows older. I doubt it.

I think you are right. As part of the revolution, he will know too much. The last thing he will see is the walls of a tiled cellar and then lights out!

Oh, and he won't like the next thing his spirit sees!

Decades of brainwashed school kids and illegal alien invasion, the socialists are taking over America.

how anyone who prides themselves as being a sentient and intelligent being could possibly encompass, fall for the grossly antisemitic lies and distortions being peddled by the communist, nazi, and Islamic-terrorist supporting enemies of America

how anyone with an IQ above single digits could just input and repeat these nauseous lies

is beyond comprehension. Unless, of course, they were evil to begin with and just latched onto the Goebbels-style Big Lies about the Jews and about America ... as convenient crutches or excuses — to externalize their blame?

Socialism cannot survive without Capitalism. Capitalism would thrive without Socialism.

The socialists “win” by using Ranked Choice Voting which means that the candidate you vote for may not get your vote. It is divided up to others. Also the small percentage that did vote and the voter fraud the democrats have always used.

Put elections on a saturday. Must have ID and use paper balots and electronic matching with name and face. The democrats would never win.

Ya know...ya gotta admire their optimism, no matter how delusional it is.
“Petrova” is just another university knucklehead.

The reason I embarked upon the massive research I’ve done (the reference list is 35pp long) on the causes of our socialist meltdown is what Stanford did to Natalie.

I already have a dedication line: This is for you, the sweetheart I knew.

I doubt seriously that she can make herself read it.

Fear not for the future, fear not for freedom. The valorous trans, gay and furry warriors shall vanquish the savage socialists, meat eating MAGA and monstrous Muzzy and save the world.
