You’re entitled to your opinion, which I can respect. It will take time to move the Overton window to get more DSA candidates elected to enact policy that more aggressively taxes the wealthy at the highest income and wealth levels. This is the process, if it doesn’t suit your tastes, that’s fine, but Mamdani hasn’t broken the law either in his “theatrics” as you call it. This is politics. Charge him if he has, otherwise they’re just complaints about speech you find distasteful (which, again, you are entitled to said opinion). "We are taxing these very wealthy people" is not the equivalent of calling for or aggressively supporting immediate physical harm of marginalized groups of fellow nation state residents.

> Sure. This is the same argument MAGA makes. You can be angry without targeting innocent Americans. (And unless you’re solely playing to your base, this is how you turn anger into policy.)

These are not MAGA arguments, which are broadly speaking, “Make the right people suffer and I’m willing to suffer as long as you’re also hurting people I don’t like.” [1] MAGA people hate, Democratic Socialists are seeking a more economically just world. I'm sure we'll continue to argue the methods long into the future as this plays out in the decades ahead.
