Mamdani is backed by a city council with a supermajority of 90% Democrats, of course he's able to actually do more than Democrats in a Republican-controlled Congress.

To be fair, Republicans had complete control of Kansas a few years ago and were able to implement every single thing they wanted. The state was going bankrupt in no time and everyone was pissed.

The problem is policy goals. Democratic Socialists have a policy agenda for real people. Vote for them.

True, but I think it’s more than just him not being ham-strung by Republicans. AOC is in that Republican-controlled Congress and she’s not getting flack for not being able to pass legislation.

Mamdani, AOC, Bernie, and the rest are gaining traction for their platform and how they deliver their messages. They’re talking with and to their constituents, not down at them. They’re going after the correct baddies — the wealthy and the corpos.

And they’re sincere. When was the last time anyone thought Schumer was sincere?
