Ya Think? Democrats Are Just Now Realizing It's Time To Panic Over Zohran Mamdani Mayoral Candidacy

Posted • October 28, 2025: It may have begun before President Donald Trump arrived on the political stage, but his election and reelection have certainly brought front and center the ever-quickening slide of Democrats from just being left-wingers to straight-up socialists. They continue to champion issues and candidates that the American people told them last November they had absolutely no interest in.

Gottheimer added, “If we’re focused on playing defense on Mamdani, that will be a … major distraction." But some of those sweaty Democrats are doing what they always do: play word games. Rep. Tom Suozzi (NY-03) ran cover for Mamdani, calling him a “democratic capitalist, not a democratic socialist." What does that even mean? He made sure to add that socialism is a “failed economic system” that “hasn’t ever worked in the history of the world. That’s just not something that we endorse or support."

Rep. Laura Gillen (NY-04) says she disagrees with many of Mamdani's ideas and has called for her fellow Democrats to declare that "we are not socialists." If you have to say you are not socialists… (…)
