It isn’t hard to see why young people are looking for an alternative.
This cohort came of age through financial crises, inflation, a pandemic, trillion-dollar federal debts, chronic political deceit, a rough job market, predatory credit, expensive degrees with dubious ROI, and rents that make homeownership a punchline.
The status quo clearly isn’t working for the young. In that vacuum, socialism seems “cool,” so why not try it?
This brand of socialism, Mamdani-style, was pitched like a designer accessory — looks great in theory, billed to someone else (in theory).
