I told y’all that Mamdani will be the America’s equivalent of Lenin. If he can inspire a new wave of leftists taking office, then it will transform the political landscape of America.

Why the cynicism?

Per the article, this lady is nothing more than a tepid democrat. She isn't promising more than what democrats outside the DSA are also already saying. The only promising thing here is that the aesthetic of radicalism is getting more popular, but the context she exists in is one that's ready to coopt that aesthetic and turn it into an empty shell if it isn't already one. We kinda need these people to be accountable to a democratic centralist party that has a lot more stringent of a political line than the DSA.

Probably. America’s a young country, they still have a lot to learn. But this is a positive and encouraging step nonetheless.
