IT’S OFFICIAL: The Democratic Party Is Now Straight Up Socialist. When socialist Zohran Mamdani won the New York City mayoral primary, we said that the concern expressed by some Democrats was phony, because they didn’t want to admit just how far left their party had drifted.

I would recruit 100,000 more ice agents to go door-to-door through New York searching every single dark alley. All in the… …
I don’t know who’ll win the NYC Democratic mayoral primary tomorrow, but if Mamdani, a far-left self-described socialist who repeatedly called for defunding the police and refused to condemn “globalize the Intifada,” wins, it’ll be a massive gift to Trump and MAGA and a blow to… pic.twitter.com/THJFLzras1 — Republicans against Trump (@RpsAgainstTrump) June 23, 2025
I should note, these candidates were from last election cycle. I just stumbled upon this and was shocked just how out of touch these candidates actually are. How can these people be so out of touch, that they’re wrong on the cost of housing by a whole ORDER OF MAGNITUDE. h/t Not-A-Seagull
