Social Democracy is not the same as Socialism. But, I wasn’t following the race, maybe he does want the public to own the means of production.

I'm OK with it because maybe when they realize he's just a guy making decisions to help his community, it will remove a smidge of the ZOMG SOCIALISM reaction to folks like not only him, but also Bernie, and maybe others who might like to call themselves social democrats instead of democrats.
If Bernie and AOC start the social democrat party tomorrow with Mamdani and others, I'm registering before the ink is dry.
Also Democratic Socialism (Mamdani's beliefs) are not the same as Social Democracy. They are slightly different.
That kind of depends. Bernie claims to be a Democratic Socialist, but Europeans have said that his stated beliefs align more with Social Democracy. This may be another case of us Americans having a different definition than the rest of the world (like with liberal).
Real "Judean people's front" vibes with that one

It's just a primary guys. Let's hope he wins the seat.
It would take a catastrophe for him not to.
His opponents in the general are as follows:
-
The corrupt former governor sex pest he just beat, running as an independent in order to get a do-over
-
Current mayor in spite of being a hair's breath from prison until he went full MAGA, always being a fascist cop (but I repeat myself) and genuinely unhinged, Eric Adams
-
Perennial loser and hyper-racist vigilante lunatic Curtis Sliwa.
Not only are they all awful candidates in themselves, their core demographics also overlap to such a degree that it'll be an upset if more than one of them reaches double digits!
If NYC uses ranked choice voting in the general as well and Cuomo learns from his disaster of a campaign then he might try coalition-building with Eric Adams or others to pull off a win by getting neoliberals and MAGA to gang up on Zohran. It's a headscratcher for me because I never expect neoliberals to learn from their mistakes, and yet they might actually feel forced to because they never fail to pull out all the stops against progressives, let alone an actual socialist.

Hey, nobody messes with the Zohran!
hope it annoys Adam Sandler.
Good. Zionists should suffer every day.
That's what's fun about the whole establishment coming out swinging against him - he just won the primary. He's not even elected yet, and they are losing their shit.
(also, didn't notice until after posting that you'd posted 2 days ago - sorry for the necro post!)

Apparently, Faux News calls him "Zohran the Destroyer". This is exactly the sort of name that I want with progressive leadership. 🤩
They gave him a badass name by accident 😂🤣!
If fElon wielding a chain saw is a OK then Zohran the Destroyer needs a weapon, for symbolism.
I nominate the axe from the movie Mandy

They will rig the general. Look to the firms in control of the individual machines and the tabulation servers…
Looks like Cuomo is planning to run as an independent to split the vote.
That's great that AIPAC had a backup plan
Considering Eric Adams already is running as an independent, Cuomo is more likely to siphon votes away from him. Although I think it will be ranked choice anyway, so "splitting" the vote won't really matter.
The general is FPTP. Adams and Cuomo can fight for attention, they share the same demographic of assholes

use the same methods as the gop, which dnc never bother pursueing when it was reporting in all counties last nov 5 election.
The number of opinion pieces having meltdowns over Mamdani is simply off the charts. The fascists and neolibs are losing their minds about this. It’s incredible.
Mamdani isn’t even remotely radical as far as leftists go. What’s he’s proposing is just the bare minimum of common sense as far as the rest of the world is concerned.
They're acting like Luigi broke out and started making the world a better place one capitalist at a time again.
allegedly
One can dream
Right? I don’t get this at all. The guy gets elected, offers a couple things via social policy change, and everyone loses their shit. Even the title of the article this is about calls it “socialism” when it’s a far cry from it.
Everyone's talking like he's won the mayorship already.
He hasn’t technically but don’t stop the vibes. Fuck it, Mamdani FTW bitches!!!!! Woot woot! LFG for round two! For the people!
Agreed. Lets wait and see
What has made me hopeful and excited though, is that the Democratic voters are going against the DNC.
He hasn't literally but he's now the heavy favorite

C'mon! Status Cuomo was right there!
Keep talking in ways that highlight progressive values, and you'll get more of this.
The status quo is garbage and has been degrading rapidly for most of my life. Here's hoping the rest of this country gets its shit together in time.
