New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and socialism have taken quite a few hits in the past week.\u00a0Just before New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani arrived in Washington for his first meeting with President Donald Trump, the House of Representatives passed a bipartisan resolution condemning what it called the \u201chorrors of socialism.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA yes vote on this resolution should be a relatively straightforward, easy decision. It simply states that Congress denounces socialism in all its forms and opposes the implementation of socialist policies in the United States of America,\u201d Republican Arkansas Rep. French Hill said.<\/p>\n

The measure passed in a bipartisan vote of 285-98. Among the 86 Democrats who backed it were 14 members from New York and New Jersey, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who endorsed Mamdani only in the final moments of the mayoral race.<\/p>\n

Several Democrats and progressives have also whined about House Democrats\u2019 refusal to elevate Ocasio-Cortez while sticking with older Democrats who have been in Congress for decades.<\/p>\n

Far-left commentator argued, \u201cAt this point almost nothing the Democratic Party does makes any damned sense. They are hanging onto their gerontocracy and consultant class at the expense of their most loyal voters. And let\u2019s just be clear, they\u2019ll be fine while our communities pay the price.\u201d<\/p>\n

Progressive YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen said, \u201cDemocrats\u00a0refuse to learn their lesson. Refuse to take generational change seriously. Refuse to spotlight the party\u2019s most effective communicators.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pod Save America\u2018s Dan Pfeiffer concurred, submitting, \u201cValuing seniority over political and messaging chops is exactly how Democrats got into this mess in the first place.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another left-wing podcaster, Matt Lech, responded to Pfeiffer\u2019s tweet by declaring, \u201cIt is maliciously misleading people to say this is about \u2018seniority,\u2019 which was not determinative last time. Are we gonna grow up and confront this blatant corruption here or just shadowbox.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mamdani and AOC have sparked a \u201csocialist movement\u201d that could endanger Democrats going into the 2026 midterms.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo more candidates who are proud to align themselves with socialism are running for important House seats in solid blue districts in Democrat-controlled states. The secret sauce fueling this phenomenon is a widely perceived belief among the progressives who dominate the grassroots of the party that the Democratic establishment is corrupt to the core and must not just be reformed but thoroughly eradicated,\u201d\u00a0wrote\u00a0Liberty Nation\u2019s Joe Schaeffer.<\/p>\n

That enemy is none other than California state Senator Scott Wiener, who is one of the most extreme left-wing politicians in the Golden State. But Wiener is also thought to be connected to the party\u2019s mainstream, which could hurt him a lot more in the Bay Area than his controversial views on how transgender youth \u201crights\u201d should take precedence over parental authority or how \u201csex workers\u201d should be free to roam California street corners.<\/p>\n

Chakrabarti and Wiener are both running for the Democratic nomination for the seat that Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is leaving open. Three or four years ago, during the Biden administration\u2019s White House heyday, the political climate may have supported Wiener. But in 2025, the winds of change are obviously flowing in Chakrabarti\u2019s direction.<\/p>\n

Chakrabarti helped start the Justice Democrats, a dissident progressive group that became well-known when Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) became a rising star on the left in November 2018.<\/p>\n

One of these fellow travelers is Chi Osse, a member of the New York City Council who is running against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) in the primary.<\/p>\n

Osse, who is 27 years old, left the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) in 2022 because of a disagreement over policy. However, he rejoined the group this past summer. Many moderate Democrats are worried about this looming fight.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
