Comment on How do you think a socialist President would win the 2028 election? Would they use the exact methods used by Zohran Mamdani which earned him the office of Mayor of NYC?

Something like that - I think the key is to be ambiguous, and probably euphemisms like “class-conscious populism”. I assume Zohran won the mayoral election without mentioning socialism or capitalism in his platform. What did he do without mentioning socialism?

He’s not a socialist, he’s a social democrat like Canada and most of Europe.

    Yes, it is right.
    
    Social democracy is a broad, centre-left[1] to left-wing[2] social, economic, and political ideology within the wider socialist movement[3] that supports political and economic democracy[4] and a gradualist, reformist, and democratic approach toward achieving social equality. In modern practice, social democracy has taken the form of a predominantly capitalist,[5] yet robust welfare state, with policies promoting social justice, market regulation, and a more equitable distribution of income.[5][6]
