The best way to discredit socialism is to elect one

Politico reports:

Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old democratic socialist lawmaker, is on pace to win the Democratic primary for New York City mayor — a seismic shift in what normally would have been a sleepy reelection for the incumbent, Eric Adams, and one that involved toppling Andrew Cuomo’s political comeback.

Cuomo conceded defeat late Tuesday night and said he called to congratulate Mamdani.

This is great if Mamdani wins the general election. One term of a 33 year old socialist trying to run the largest city in the US should prove enough of a disaster to discredit the socialist left for a generation.
