With Zohran Mamdani's inspiring victory, Republicans are yet again fearmongering about "socialism."
But conservatives always yell “socialism” at every initiative designed to help people.
It's nothing more than an old scare tactic. https://youtu.be/xq02yuY4wDQ?si=akvbkf8GSClBEHLt

Dems made gains this year with diverse voters
Doesn’t mean it’s going to continue
But also doesn’t mean GOP 2024 gains will continue either
