"Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Zohran Mamdani aren't cold war socialists committed to central planning, vanguardism and foreign dictatorships. They are democratic pragmatists who support civil and political liberties, good governance and expanded public services." www.economist.com/letters/2026 ...

FTA: "Zohran Mamdani became NYC Mayor, toppling sexual predator Andrew Cuomo, the scion of a political dynasty who betrayed the Democratic Party by running as an Independent; Katie Wilson won an upset victory to lead Seattle last fall. And this month, Nithya Raman clinched a spot in the November runoff against Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.

All of them are members of the Democratic Socialists of America, or DSA."

Gosh, non-AIPAC Democrats can win elections in the US.


And watch for the mishegoss in Colorado's gubernatorial election. Mega-oligarch Michael Bloomberg is carpet-bagging there.

Who knew advocating for the public, at large, rather than the ruling class could be popular?
Probably why Democrats keep losing or getting co-opted.

Don't we all wish that pendulum could swing more efficiently and more often at the covetous oligarchs or the hideous defenders of the status quo? US is target-rich environment for justifiable decapitations

Just a remider of thereality of socialism:
"THE HARD TRUTH
It took one generation of "progressive" leadership to turn one of the richest countries on Earth [Venezuela] into a nation defined by hunger, fear, mass graves, and mass migration.
This is the lesson history keeps teaching:
You can vote your way into socialism.
But history shows people only escape it through collapse, violence, or foreign intervention.
And here is the part Americans must understand clearly:
If this happens in the United States, there will be nobody coming to save us.
No outside superpower.
No rescue force.
No second chance.
Freedom is fragile. Prosperity is not guaranteed.
And once lost, they are brutally hard to recover.
Venezuela's people paid the price.
America cannot afford to learn this lesson the same way."

In the beginning stages you can call it 'democratic socialism' if you want, but in the end ir will be called called a HUMAN DISASTER.
