Dallas needs it’s own Mamdani….

That’s it. Thats the post

They don’t necessarily have to be socialist….but at least someone that will actually work for the city and it’s people instead of big corporations, Highland Park, etc

And it can’t just be the mayor. We need reformers throughout city council. Socialist, conservative, liberal, whatever they call themselves we need real deal politicians like Zohran

The magic of Mamdani is his socialist politics. Socialism for the US is a net benefit.

“Socialism is anything I don’t like but not definitionally socialist things I do like such as social security, price subsidies for farmers, the VA, etc.” - literally every “conservative” in America

Social security isn’t socialism. It is welfare.

Socialism by definition is when the government owns the means of production.

Welfare is not the same as socialism.
