It’s Official: The Democratic Party Is Now Straight Up Socialist
When socialist Zohran Mamdani won the New York City mayoral primary, we said that the concern expressed by some Democrats was phony, because they didn’t want to admit just how far left their party had drifted.
Now, they’ve given up that pretense entirely.
On Friday, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries endorsed socialist Mamdani, saying the 33-year-old trust fund baby “has relentlessly focused on addressing the affordability crisis and explicitly committed to being a mayor for all New Yorkers.”
He’s the most senior-ranking Democrat to do so, but he joins a list that already includes Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and New York Attorney General Letitia James
Jeffries tried to add a caveat that he and Mamdani have “areas of principled disagreement.” But he can’t have it both ways.
Jeffries, and his party, are now officially on board with Mamdani’s socialist agenda, one he hopes to impose on a city that once stood for America’s financial might but will soon become the home base for radical anti-Americanism.
Besides, as we pointed out in this space in July (see: “The Democrats’ Phony Freakout About Mamdani”), party regulators were already on board with even Mamdani’s most radical proposals.
Think about what Mamdani has proposed or supported:
- A yearlong freeze on rent
- A $30 minimum wage
- Free bus service
- City-owned grocery stores
- Defunding the police
- Calling Israel’s war in Gaza a genocide.
‘Mainstream Democrats’ support every one of these positions in one way or another.
But now the party has nowhere to hide. Either by silence or outright endorsements of Mamdani, Democrats have let the veil drop. The party of John F. Kennedy is now the party of Karl F. Marx.
And when New York spirals downward in a cesspool of deprivation and hopelessness, as every socialist experiment invariably does, the public should never forget which party caused it to happen.
