You are incorrect. Mamdani’s socialism is of the DSA kind - Third World-Islamist socialism.
Check out the DSA platform. They now advocate for Zionist (Jews) exclusionary policies. Mamdani has also discussed shutting down Cornell Technical School on Long Island because of its partnership & cofounding with Israel. the school opened in 2017. His antiZionism, which is a hate movement aiming to end support for the only Jewish state in the world. He inverts truth to replace Jews with Palestinians in our own history.
This essay is horseshit.
Most Jews, even liberals like me, believe the left is far more dangerous to Jews than the right. It’s why I’m no longer a Dem. I’ll wait and see which Party has the moral courage to contain the threat. Right now, it isn’t the Dems.
Mamdani’s brand of Islam is the jihadi kind. Terrible to misinform readers about something so important.
Good essay, and I very much hope your hopeful outlook pans out. But I suspect Mamdani's feeble gestures toward moderation are merely an electoral feint and that he's still the same glib extremist who declared that "Queer liberation means defund the police." As someone who's lived in New York for almost 20 years now, I'm expecting the city to experience a dramatic and irrevocable decline.
"Mamdami’s housing plan asserts that the city can build affordable units for $500,000 apiece using union construction workers. But many projects built with less costly non-union labor already cost more than that. Using union labor puts the cost of an affordable unit at a minimum of $800,000, according to the Real Estate Board of New York, with the price tag likely to reach $1 million in most of Manhattan or the Brooklyn-Queens waterfront."

An excellent, well-reasoned analysis that deserves many more views!
Bowdoin is a College. not a University

Let him govern and then we’ll find out.
A municipal union strike will be his first big test.
Democrats happy with Mamdani, Sanders, and AOC will oversee the demise of the party.
