I completely agree with proportional representation.

On the solution for shutdowns, it's just to get rid of them. Our system is insane for allowing this. Get rid of the debt limit, it never made any sense.

Yep! Consensus building waters down the socialism a bit, but in his heart, I believe he supports socialist goals as I also do.

So there's a lot of overlap. Bernie Sanders calls himself a democratic socialist. I take him at his word. But he governs as a social democrat.

I expect Zohran Mamdani to govern in the same way, although I also take him at his word

That's a flavor of socialism, the goals are the same. Goals I support by the way, not criticizing him. I am also a democratic socialist.

Yeah, he wants to achieve socialism through electoral victories, not through force, but the goals are the same.

Power to the people!! ✊
