À propos de ce contenu audio

Far left. Far right. Conservative. Liberal. Republican. Democrat. Can't fully relate? Me either. But nearly all public discourse and media is centered upon the views share by one of the two political parties - and often those shouting the loudest from the extremes of both sides.

    Despite holding both the White House and Congress, the Republican Party is deeply divided heading into the 2026 midterms.

  • 6 Topics for '26: Mayor Mamdani & Democratic Socialism
    Feb 10 2026

    Zohran Mamdani seemingly came out of nowhere in 2025 to become Mayor of New York City. He's a self-described democratic socialist and his platform illustrates those views. Critics have labeled him a communist or a socialist and warned that NYC is going to become the next Cuba or Venezuela. But what, exactly, is democratic socialism, where has it worked, and why is it appealing? I'll explore those questions and why the success or failure of this most-viewed administration outside of Washington will possibly determine the fate of Democrats in 2026 and beyond.
