beat me to it. I was about to ask why now? why wouldn’t they put this article out BEFORE voting took place?

The US is falling behind, schools and infrastructure, and it is pathetic. If it is not these core areas, along with safety, what should the gov't be focused on?

People over profit.

So, basically a better social safety, more on par with our allies, most of whom are also wealthy nations? Wow, that doesn't sound as scary as Communism!!

OMG, what is it with Americans and definitions? I think democratic socialism has been around for decades!

Too many people see the word ‘socialist’ and think ‘communist’.

Most Republicans consider the social safety nets of Social Security and FDR’s New Deal policies to be “socialism”.

People who live in democratic socialist countries report higher levels of happiness. Pretty sure the framers of the U.S. Constitution didn’t intend our “pursuit of happiness” to be either Quixotic or Sisyphean.

I wouldn't care if he were a green spotted dog. If he's out to help the average person make it in this life & thrive, then God bless him.

Yup, Germans are grumbling and bitching sometimes (which I think people do everywhere) but once they see the darker side of the social gaps in other countries, they tend to reconsider. Travelling helps quite a bit there (general advice).

Do you know someone who wishes to leave but cannot? I am happy to help combine some resources to assist.

Economy of scale. Also calling a country with 83 million "small" is dumb.

Depends on leadership and too many other factors. Economics for starters.

Also, by choosing, which is liberty, you will reside with like minded people.

What is not practical about that?

Please please please help educate American about democratic socialism. The happiest countries in the world are all democratic socialist. Tell Americans why!!

It means a more formal way to support one another in equitable access to resources. Currently we are already democratic socialists because we are standing together to feed our neighbors since the regime is choosing to starve them.

Any role for the government to benefit the public would be a refreshing change. Historically, the government has only taken a role to benefit wealthy special interests and itself.

I got other ways to get into poverty. Ask me about those lol

I'd rather have a socialist Muslim mayor than a sadistic felon AntiChrist in the White House.

Chuck Schumer and the rest of Democratic leadership better wakeup or retire. They are done.

It means NYC will be broke soon.

It means government actually makes sure to take care of people.

MAGA and Wall Street panics over Mamdani victory Trump allies and right-wing pundits unleashed highly racist Islamophobic and anti-immigrant attacks after Mamdani's victory.

I love seeing the Republicans, the Democratic establishment and all the other genocidal fucks crash out today

It will be interesting to see how it plays out for NY. Hopefully it will be more like Europe and less like Soviet Union.

Socialist is just a word billionaires invented for anyone who thinks our tax dollars should pay for infrastructure and services that benefit working people instead of just paying for bombs and endless corporate subsidies that never have and never will trickle down.

Oh, no. Should we consider not giving massive subsidies and tax breaks to corporations so we can all benefit from programs like universal healthcare and paid parental leave? That might make oil magnates and billionaires mad, and we know they’re more important citizens than us.

👏👏👏

FOX entertainment is on top of the story. They are interviewing JD Vance’s future wife.

It means at Burlington and NYC are part of a world where Democratic Socialism is a legitimate, non-scary political movement

What witchcraft is this?!

Using the government…to BENEFIT the public🤔 What a novel concept.

It means that @npr.org needs to stop cowering before the TREASONOUS RUSSIAN PEDOPHILE and its murderous thugs.

Governance to elevate the people or governance to oppress them.

I was thinking about the many Islamophobes: Swallwell Klobachar Gillibrand Schumer Fetterman etc.

As opposed to Trumps approach of a stronger government role to benefit himself and his billionaire cronies 🤮

No its not. Dumbass.

Be weary of government control.

Keep in mind as it has been said, winning and ruling are not the same thing.

vs a stronger role for the government to send masked, armed white supremacists to your neighborhood. Quite the striking contrast

Crony Capitalism definitely does NOT serve the people. If our future in the world of business, technology, medicine, education & quality of life has any chance, it'll be in democratic socialism or something more like it.

"doesn't have a one-size-fits-all definition" What part of "spend our fortune on us" don't you understand @npr.org ?

👏👏👏

Democratic socialism is about the tax dollars of everyday working Americans being invested into… wait for it… Everyday working Americans.

Most Americans don't know what socialism or capitalism is. If they did they would know how much socialism is in our system, and how for both good and bad.

All for it!

NYC has Billionaires' Row the dirtiest subway system on earth, and underemployment. Take as long as you need...

It’s the left that seem to think that public services are socialist. The left will define democratic socialist because that’s what they are claiming Mandami is. Can he deliver on his promises of free transit in New York City? What will cover the lost revenue from the fares?

I think we can safely say that central planning of all economic activity is pretty nonsensical yeah

In the 2025 World Competitiveness Rankings, which ranks how business and investment friendly nations are, Democratic Socialist Denmark ranked at #4 while the USA slid in at #13. Clearly, following a Democratic Socialist model does NOT mean being anti-business. www.imd.org/centers/wcc/...
