I am outraged by the attacks on Zohran Mamdani, the newly elected Democratic nominee. Watching Democratic leaders, including Senator Gillibrand, smear him with false and dangerous accusations like antisemitism is deeply disturbing. These claims are not only dishonest, they are politically reckless and morally wrong. Zohran speaks directly to the working class. He is unbought, principled, and genuinely committed to the people he serves. He does not answer to corporate donors or political machines. He listens, he organizes, and he shows up. That is what we need more of in this moment, not less. It is shameful that the Democratic establishment is quicker to attack someone like Zohran than to confront the fascism growing under Trump and the right wing. Democrats have been weak in the face of authoritarianism and economic injustice. Attacking one of the few voices who actually challenges that is a betrayal of the people you claim to represent. Listen, the people have spoken! If the Democratic Party refuses to support real leaders like Zohran, the working class will walk away, revolutionize and build something new without you. Your silence and complicity are not acceptable. Stand with Zohran Mamdani!
