Send us Fan Mail We break down DSA and Zohran Mamdani’s rise in NYC politics, the affordable housing crisis hitting New York renters, and a no-BS…
So let's get into it a little bit.
The big thing is there's a lot of canons that now identify as DSA, Democratic Socialists of America.
And, you know, I think we're both on the fence with that, like, because you're not going to sell the term socialism anymore.
Ever.
But here's
the point.
Probably the most popular candidate as DSA is probably someone on Nop.me, right? Very popular.
Yes.
Hugely popular.
No, it's because he wants to implement programs that actually benefit the average American, the working class, the working poor, the struggling folks.
He's implementing stuff like that.
And these policies are hugely popular.
Yes.
When you pull them.
Yes.
And what is he doing? He is getting them passed.
So he is following through on campaign promises.
That probably pisses some folks off too.
Yeah, but what that is, is here you have a candidate.
Getting shit done.
He is following through on what he said he's going to do on very popular policies.
The thing that I'm having a real problem with people right now Like, yes, we don't mind the term socialism because we know what the term means.
