The good news is that people are more open to socialism than ever.
This kind of openly racist rhetoric is more evidence of the ongoing organic crisis in the U.S. The worse things get the more people are open to this kind of nationalism and xenophobia and Trump knows it. Without a fierce and unapologetic socialist alternative, we're in big trouble.

Many of Zohran Mamdani’s supporters believe that under his leadership, New York can set a positive example of municipal socialism for the rest of the country. But by neglecting the power of Mamdani’s base and focusing on “socialism” in just one city, that fight is already being restrained.

Mamdani has decided to keep a right-wing billionaire at the top of the New York Police Department. He was right to call them, back in 2020, “racist, anti-queer & a major threat to public safety.” This is one of his many concessions to the capitalist establishment.

Trump’s proposed Ukraine deal, offering Russia territorial concessions, will only escalate imperialist competition and lead to further European rearmament. Only an independent, anti-imperialist mobilization of workers and youth can chart a progressive path to peace.

Hakeem Jeffries is the enemy of everything Mamdani claims to stand for. Instead of making peace with the Democratic Party, socialists should be leading the fight for working people to break from them once and for all.
Zohran Mamdani told NBC’s Kristen Welker he wants Hakeem Jeffries to stay Dem leader & become Speaker if Dems win House. On Fri., Jeffries was 1 of 86 Democrats who backed a GOP-led res. “condemning socialism.” Mamdani also opposed fellow dem socialist Chi Ossé’s primary challenge against Jeffries.

U.S. capitalism has now reached the "outbreak of infant botulism" stage.

As the nationwide outbreak of infant botulism continues to grow, and new test results show botulism bacteria in some samples of ByHeart infant formula, the source of the potentially deadly contamination remains unknown.

Also, if Mamdani is a socialist why is he not wearing a GD red tie? What is this hideous chromatic purple nonsense?

"There can be a significant delay between when a child ingests botulism bacteria spores and when they start experiencing any symptoms ... Health officials say babies that drank ByHeart formula should be watched closely for 30 days after they last had any of the product."

Let the absolutely worst takes ever begin.
Trump if Mamdani was WH chief of staff:

Meanwhile, Hakeem Jeffries, whom Mamdani has protected against a socialist primary challenge, voted in the House to condemn the "horrors" of socialism.
Mamdani is effectively helping Trump rehabilitate himself as a populist and champion of affordability exactly when his polls are at their lowest precisely because of those very issues. This is perhaps the most opportunistic act by a single politician I've seen in my lifetime.
