Analysis: "Zohran’s Millionaire Tax Will Raise Revenue"

"Worries about an exodus of millionaires from New York City are not supported by economics."

"Existing evidence makes Mamdani’s proposed increase look like a modest and conservative step in the right direction."

"We should be clear that opponents of the increase are the ones with fringe views."

Text from the New York Times: "Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will deliver opening remarks at Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral inauguration on New Year’s Day, Mr. Mamdani’s transition team said on Tuesday.

"The announcement cements a democratic-socialist all-star lineup for the inauguration ceremony outside City Hall: Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont will follow Ms. Ocasio-Cortez and administer the oath of office to Mr. Mamdani."

It's upsetting to watch #Democrats scramble to downplay Mamdani's victory by implying he only works as a leader in #NYC

As if people in Virginia, or the mid-west don't also want affordable housing and healthcare, or for billionaires to pay their fair share in taxes.

This is why so many of us on the left are mad at the Dems. They are obstructionists for wealthy interests, and if we don't vote for neoliberalism they're okay with #fascism

Their donors want anything but #democraticSocialism

I'm tired of the dems do-nothing-say-nothing strategy; waiting, hoping that Rigged System Pro gets bad enough that we vote back in Rigged System Classic(tm). Then it's back to gaslighting the poor that the system is working for them.

#NoKings, sure. But also, I don't want #NoScrubs — Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, Nancy Pelosi, get the fuck out and let us get to work.

His win helps to illustrate that one of the central forces driving higher

"I think for far too long we've tried not to lose, as opposed to figuring out how to win."

-- Zohran Mamdani, speaking about the Democratic party and his bold proposals, in the October 20, 2025, issue of The New Yorker. My, I like him. He's the future. I want to see more politicians like him (and AOC, Michelle Wu, Katie Wilson, Maxwell Frost, etc.).
