Islamic Marxist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is a growing power inside the Democratic Party.
But Mamdani got some bad news.
That’s because Zohran Mamdani got ripped to shreds by one brutal reality check.
Polls show Mamdani clone Abdul El-Sayed holding a commanding lead in the Democratic primary to replace retiring Michigan Senator Gary Peters.

Like Mamdani, El-Sayed is a Muslim socialist who supports defunding the police and banning private health insurance.
Top Democrats are now openly fretting that nominating El-Sayed in Michigan will throw away a vital Senate seat and define Democrats as radical Islamists in swing states across the country.
Former Bill Clinton strategist James Carville told CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan that El-Sayed was emblematic of the socialist left who don’t understand that ideas that appeal to Democratic primary voters are toxic with the general electorate.
“Let’s take in Michigan. El-Sayed is highly competent, but he’s way left. I see challenges from the, quote progressive left, unquote, and these people are too horn-headed to know that they’re not popular. People don’t like them, but if you get a skewed turnout in a primary, you might end up losing a race that you should have never lost in the first place,” Carville stated.
O’Sullivan picked up on the disdain Carville felt towards socialists like Mamdani and El-Sayed.
“When you say ‘progressive left,’ there’s a tone of contempt there,” O’Sullivan replied.
“Yes. You are very wise. I hope the camera was able to pick up the contempt,” Carville shot back.
The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) Platform – with whom Mamdani identifies – is becoming a major problem for Democrats.
In the platform, the DSA calls for “queer liberation” and an end to all restrictions on abortion and transgenderism, especially surgeries for minor children.
“Socialist feminism fights for queer liberation and the freedoms of all working-class women. Stop gender violence and end policies that oppress bodily autonomy and intimate life, including patriarchal restrictions on abortion, childbirth and childraising, gender expression and transition, marriage, and divorce,” the platform reads.
The DSA also calls for defunding the police and ending prisons.
“Demilitarize police departments, disempower police unions, and redirect funding to public services as steps towards fully abolishing the police and prison system which protects the rich and jails the poor. Treat drug addiction and mental illness as health issues, not crimes. End qualified immunity and empower civilian oversight bodies with real authority over the police,” the platform states.
The DSA also supports complete open borders by calling for the government to “End ICE detention and deportations; grant amnesty for all immigrants regardless of status.”
The DSA would also end American sovereignty and elections by allowing noncitizens to vote by demanding the government “Extend full voting rights to all permanent U.S. residents and restore the right to vote for incarcerated people and people with criminal convictions.”
America as everyone knows it would also cease to exist as the DSA would abolish the Presidency, the Senate and the Supreme Court.
“Abolish the Electoral College. Replace the President and Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary chosen by and subordinate to Congress,’ the platform reads.
And finally, the DSA would transform America into a Marxist nation by having the government seize control of business.
“Establish public ownership of the largest corporations and essential industries to ensure democratic control and accountability to the people,” the platform states.
