    Yeah, that may not work out the way they want it too. Attitudes are changing for a lot of people thanks to Trump’s rampage. Hopefully, enough people will wake up and realize that the Democratic Socialists are probably the change they’ve been looking for.

    But national Republicans have already spotlighted Tuesday’s primary. “Every single Democrat now owns Mamdani’s radical socialist agenda to defund police, abolish prisons & stop ICE from deporting criminals,” the committee posted later, quoting House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries congratulating Mamdani.

    Guess I’m socialist.

    Nothing more American than to see Republicans freak out at the tiniest possibility that someone wants to actually help average Americans … and instead of ignoring them, they label him a radical socialist that is dangerous… dangerous to who? The rich!

      He’s not even dangerous to the rich. Rich people live in Democratic socialist countries like Finland. They are just going to be slightly less rich. The horror!!

        slightly less rich while living an overall better quality of rich life. Being rich is great but being rich and living in a clean and orderly environment is amazing!

    This is the best piece of political news in 2025 so far.

    Roll with it. Hard.

    They’re too up their asses to realize that’s a tactical error on their part. Make progressives the new face of the Democratic party, and sell the shit out of progressive values, stated clearly and plainly.

    Trump took my job. If I still had my job maybe I wouldn’t entertain ideas of converting to socialism. I can’t be a capitalist without capital.

    Oh please don’t throw me in the briar patch!

    spoiler

    Bre’r rabbit begs and pleads to brer fox to do anything but throw him in the nearby briar patch. Bre’r fox hears this and decides to do exactly that. What he doesn’t know is that rabbits are brought up in dense thickets so he is accustomed to it and shouts “I was bred in a briar patch”. Being thrown in the briar patch ultimately allows him to escape from bre’r fox who is shocked and can’t really believe what had just happened.”
