That time a foreign-born socialist ran for mayor of New York

I'm low-key hyped about Zohran Mamdani's mayoral campaign ! He's the real deal, you feel? His commitment to social justice and anti-imperialism is giving me all the feels . I mean, it's crazy to think that a century ago, Morris Hillquit was running a similar campaign, but with different times and circumstances .

Mamdani's ability to connect with marginalized communities is a major key . African Americans are still fighting for equality, and Irish Americans have largely assimilated – it's time for them to come together again . His campaign is all about making moral choices and standing up for what's right .

It's dope that his campaign is bringing people out of the woodwork, wanting more from their leaders . The old-school socialist vibe is back, baby! Mamdani's got this – he's not just a politician, he's a movement !

I'm skeptical about these populist campaigns that promise the world and then deliver little . Zohran Mamdani's campaign sounds like just another PR stunt to me . I mean, how can we trust him when he's never done anything in politics before? And what's with this "anti-imperialism" thing - is that just a fancy way of saying "I'm against America"?

And don't even get me started on the fact that he's running on a platform that sounds suspiciously like the same old socialist stuff that failed 100 years ago . The people are looking for real change, not more of the same tired ideas that haven't worked before. Where's the proof that his plan will actually work? What about the economic consequences? What about the impact on businesses and industries that actually drive this city forward?

I'm not saying it can't be interesting to see someone like Mamdani running for office, but let's not get ahead of ourselves here . This guy is a newcomer with no track record, promising the world to people who are just fed up with the status quo . I'll believe it when I see it

imho, zohran mamdani's campaign feels like a breath of fresh air especially considering the current state of politics in america. his commitment to social justice and anti-imperialism resonates deeply with marginalized communities who've been fighting for equality for decades . the fact that ordinary people are looking for change and feeling disconnected from the status quo is a huge opportunity for someone like mamdani to bring about real change what's also inspiring is how hillquit's legacy lives on, reminding us of the importance of principle and courage in the face of adversity
