Democratic socialist surge spreads through US as Mamdani effect takes hold
Sky News US Analyst Michael Ware discusses the rise of democratic socialism across the United States following multiple victories in New York. “A lot of it comes down to messaging in response to the real hurt that American voters are feeling,” Mr Ware told Sky News Australia. “People are hurting, rents in cities where they work are unaffordable, and you know, health costs and so forth. So, these progressives, or ultra progressives of the democratic socialists … are responding to those sorts of kitchen table concerns. “These progressives are a sign of perhaps some angst within the economy.”

Trump throws tantrum over ‘loud and unattractive people’ in latest rant against communism
In his latest attack on communism, President Donald Trump lashed out Saturday at “loud and unattractive people” who he said were allowing the Democratic Party to be steered toward the left.“The Radical Left Lunatics, often referred to as Dumocrats, have lost control of their Party,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social. “They are being led by loud and unattractive people who have totally lost their way. Hopefully, they will fight back, and not let this sick, Communist ideology, take over America!”Trump has increasingly referenced communism in recent weeks following a string of electoral victories in Democratic primary elections by self-proclaimed democratic socialists. Critics have accused Trump of focusing on communism as a tool to distract Americans from his administration’s failures to adequately address the issue of affordability.

Racist Watters Calls Election Of Mamdani-Endorsed Candidates 'Third World Takeover'
We all knew the red-baiting would be bad after several of candidates endorsed by NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani won their primaries this week, but Fox's Jesse Watters decided to take it to a whole new level on this Wednesday's The Five. Here's Watters, like all of them on that sorry excuse for news network, conflating Socialism with Communism and Democratic Socialists, none of which are the same, and tossing in lots of fearmongering that the world is going to come to an end because everyone on the left supposedly wants to steal right-wingers' stuff and race-baiting about the number of immigrants that live in New York City. PERINO: Jesse, there's feels like there's this momentum behind this DSA guys and Zohran Mamdani barely won his election, but now he's leading the party. WATTERS: Well, hips is cooked. So is Schumer. They have no clout. They got rocked on their home turf. So bye bye. read more
