    Capitalist countries do not actually elect…

    Mamdani is proving that one wrong. So do the Republicans voters pretty much every election.

    No, democracy doesn’t require socialism at all. A decent society might, but democracy can be independent of it. See: Zohran Mamdani

    Now, stop whining and vote for your candidate if you get another shot at it

      Mamdani is, at most, a social democrat. Reforms under Mamdani, especially in the context of merely a mayoral seat, cannot actually change the economic system to socialism. At most, they can expand welfare, which is not nearly enough to solve the root problems of capitalism. Mamdani proves me correct.
