 DSA says it owns NYC after primary sweep — warns Dems against challenges: ‘We control’

The Democratic Socialists of America are staking their claim on New York City after Tuesday night’s resounding “socialist sweep” by candidates backed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani — and warned Democrats to not even bother challenging them.

“We have a Democratic socialist mandate in New York City,” Osman Chaudhary, co-chair of the New York City DSA Electoral Working Group, boldly declared on a DSA call Wednesday night to celebrate the lefty political organization’s victories on primary night.

“Don’t even try it. We control these areas, we won by massive margins,” he also told those considering challenging the DSA politicians, according to a clip shared on social media by Stu Smith, an investigative analyst at the conservative Manhattan Institute think tank.

Chaudhary claimed the socialist mandate comes now that some 3 million New Yorkers “are now represented by socialists at multiple levels of government.”

He railed off a lengthy list of New York City neighborhoods in such positions, including the “People’s Republic of Ridgewood” and the “People’s Republic of Astoria” — both located along the so-called “commie corridor.”

Free Vulcan:
They like Mandami won with a very small turnout.

The real point is how these people think. They will control and conquer, and their enemies will fall before them and be subjugated, nothing of which looks anything like America or how our govt works.

DefiantMassRINO:
Osman Chaudhary, that's not a very democratic thing to say.

Every political candidate needs to be challenged to prove they are the best person for the job.

Fishrrman:
“Don’t even try it. We control these areas..."

Makes you wonder if they'll be setting up their own version of the CHEKA sometime soon...
