Episode 66: Mamdani's Socialist Slate Just Beat the Democratic Establishment

Socialists just swept New York's primaries, and this is not a fringe story anymore. Mamdani-backed candidates beat establishment Democrats, while a Gallup poll shows 66% of Democrats view socialism favorably. In this episode, I break down why I'm calling this socialism instead of the softer "democratic socialist" rebrand, what the Democratic Socialists of America polling above Democrats in Congress says about the party, and why Milton Friedman, Venezuela, price controls, and Reagan's old warning still matter now. If Democrats keep moving left, conservatives have an opening and a responsibility to answer it clearly.
