All across America, the Democratic Party is being overtaken by a massive wave of young, radical progressives, socialists and communists, while older moderate Democrats are being primaried and kicked to the curb.
In New York City, the Muslim front-runner mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is listed on the ballot TWICE – under the Democrat Party, and also under the progressive Working Families Party (WFP), which believes in key issues such as a living wage, free and universal healthcare, racial justice, climate justice, and affordable housing.
They’re running on the Democratic ticket. But they’re not really “Democrats.”
So how did Mamdani vote for himself?
From the New York Post: Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani voted for himself on the Working Families Party’s ballot line – rather than the Democrat line — early Tuesday in his fight to become the Big Apple’s next mayor, his campaign confirmed.
The 34-year-old was flanked by his artist wife, Rama Duwaji, as they arrived holding hands at the polling booth at Astoria’s Frank Sinatra High School just after 8 a.m.
Mamdani’s decision to vote on the Working Families Party line, despite being the Democratic nominee, comes after fellow NY Dem Rep. Tom Suozzi blasted the frontrunner as not being a true Democrat.

The Working Families Party touted, “Be like @ZohranKMamdani. Vote down the Working Families Party line if you’re in New York. A vote on the Working Families ballot line (Row D) is a vote to tax the ultra-rich to invest in universal childcare, affordable housing, healthcare, and a city where working people win.”

Democrat Rep. Tom Suozzi (NY) warned in a Fox News interview on Monday, “I think that someone asked me before, is Zohran Mamdani the future of the Democratic Party? I said, ‘no, he’s the future of the Democratic Socialist Party.’ He’s not a Democrat. And I’m a Democratic capitalist, not a Democratic Socialist.”
“Democrats need to get back to our basic message of fighting for the middle class,” he said.

Suozzi announced last week, “I’m a Democratic Capitalist, not a Democratic Socialist. I endorse Andrew Cuomo. I can not back a declared socialist with a thin resume to run the most complex city in America. We need leaders who will fight crime, not undermine the police. Who will create jobs, not harm the economy. Who will keep taxes down, not make it more expensive for middle class families to live here.”
