What distinguishes Zohran Mamdani’s socialism is not its aims. It’s his willingness to take seriously the problem of how to get there.

      The Bosses are scared shitless his ideas will get traction.

      First, they will try to discredit him.

      When that doesn’t work, they will have him killed, which, if discrediting doesn’t work will be a huge mistake. That was the exact playbook they used with MLK.

    I just hope Zohran doesn’t end up getting involved in a serious corruption case when he becomes mayor because it would give Trump and the Republicans the tools to harm future candidates.

    It depends on if the Orange Jackass can get SCOTUS to greenlight striping his citizenship and deporting him. Given how things have been going lately, I’m not particularly optimistic.
