Bernie Sanders, Mamdani, and AOC are not “Democratic Socialists.” In fact, there’s no such thing. You can be a socialist or a communist, but the DS party doesn’t exist and never has in America. The Mugwumps had their day, but no Democratic Socialists.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is a flat-out Marxist. He wants to control the means of production in the nation’s largest city. Just last week, Mamdani froze rent hikes. Landlords had no say. The city just did it.
