Democrats are all upset over Mamdani because he’s a Democratic Socialist? Why? I don’t get it. What’s wrong with being a Democratic Socialist. It seems like a good thing to me. I thought Democrats embraced socialism.

    I thought Democrats embraced socialism.

    Democrats, the party and politicians, no. Not even close. As much as Fox News would love you to believe that.

    Democrats, the voters, much more so. The majority of people in the US are like you. When presented with actual socialist policies, they’re on board. But most people are also not engaged enough in politics to recognize that the Democratic party doesn’t actually believe in socialist policies, they just vote for “the left”. Or, they do recognize it, but feel that they have no better options.
