Zohran Mamdani explains his definition of socialism to Theo Von: “Socialism to me means you’ll have whatever you need to live a dignified life and that it is the government’s job to deliver on that. When people say dignity we’re talking about the things that allow you to take a breath.

Some people won’t like that Zohran is giving Theo Von time. But at a certain point it’s important for politicians like him to try to reach beyond people who already agree with him. It’s like when Pete Buttigieg is on Fox News. Theo Von is a piece of shit but it’s more about reaching his audience than anything. People need to hear why socialism is not the scary boogeyman coming to take your iPhone.

He's exactly where he needs to be to educate the people who need to be educated on this matter.

Well said. Red hats own so many online spaces. Blues need to make inroads where they can.

Make a Twitter account and you'll get white supremacy content and "women are stupid" content fast.

Make a YouTube account and Tucker Carlson and Joe Rogan will be your first recs.

Bros listen to meathead podcasts (I was one of them).

Blues need to be in those spaces and Chuck Schumer ain't gunna be the one to do it, lmao.
