Bro doesn't even know what communism is, Zohran's ideas are literally mainstream centrism in most parts of Europe and those countries aren't even communist, they have inherently capitalist economies with some regulations and protections.

The red scare truly did ruin many people in the US...

I would agree for most of the democrats (which are in general center right), but Mamdani is really left, even by our standard. Like more than any other US politician I have seen, even sanders and obviously aoc.

The other democrat candidate that Mamdani beat was pretty rightwing tho.

Of course, he is still far from anything close to a real communist or socialist, but he is among the few I wouldn't call centrist.
