Obligatory viewing for the people talking about left-center-right.

But yeah, look, the title uses US mass media terminology, which is thoroughly ridiculous to any political scientist or historian ('liberal' instead of progressive, 'libertarian' instead of liberal, 'socialist' instead of social capitalist, oh my!). And it's melodramatic. But there's little point in circlejerking over it and demanding a US general-audience news outlet actually use the language we expect, it's a written piece with a target audience and it's not you.

The Mamdami supporters need to understand what tools their enemies have at their disposal, and learn about what challenges democratic socialists like Salvador Allende and the working people faced from capitalist reactionaries (before Allende was shot). Voting in a candidate is the easy part, the citizens of NY must continue to involve themselves in how their society is run and do their part in defending social and economic reform from its reactionary opposition.
