Oct. 4, 2025 Too extreme. Too inexperienced. An absolute disaster. Mainstream politicians are sharpening their attacks, and the wealthy are threatening to move away as a socialist revolution sweeps through the city. They're not talking about Zohran Mamdani or his plans for New York City. Rather, they are agonizing over the scene in Portland, Ore., where the democratic socialist principles espoused by Mr. Mamdani - the front-runner to become New York's next mayor β have already taken root at City Hall.
Am I going insane or does the top of this NYT story on Portland read like vintage Breitbart?
