Do you know how often bourgeois democracies elect "socialists"? Hell, many of them even elect "communists" on the regular. It's normal. Get over it. Please.

EDIT - there are basically two main genres of Mamdani poster, both of which keep scrawling MAMDANI on the wall in their own excrement for different reasons, and they all seem to be assuming I am from the other side lol

Liking Zohran and hating AOC is not the result of coherent analysis. They're two people at two different points on the same trajectory.

mayor and congresswoman are different offices. Zohran can't be president. they're only on the same trajectory if you ignore all of civics

i fucking beg everyone on this goddamn website to demonstrate a basic understanding of federalism, separation of powers, and the natural born citizen clause when making critiques of a mayor-elect who isn't eligible for the presidency. He's more like Obama than AOC anyway, at least that's keeping it executive branch, but there are still huge differences between a president and a mayor.

The fact that he can't be president is immaterial, he can still be (and is being) absorbed into the Democratic blob like every one of his ideological antecedents.
