New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is doubling down on his identity as a democratic socialist while arguing that Wall Street, real-estate executives, and other business leaders have nothing to fear from his administration. He says he welcomes continued private investment in New York even while advocating higher taxes on the city’s wealthiest residents and corporations.

Mamdani also argues that democratic socialism represents a return to the Democratic Party’s New Deal tradition and says recent victories by democratic-socialist candidates show that voters are increasingly receptive to that political direction.

That raises a larger economic question.

Democratic socialists argue that government can substantially expand public programs, taxation, labor power, and social ownership while still maintaining productive relationships with private businesses and investors. Critics argue that increasingly burdensome taxation and an ideological movement committed to moving beyond capitalism will eventually discourage investment and undermine the private-sector economy.

Mamdani says businesses can continue investing and prospering under his approach. His critics are considerably less confident.

Do you believe a democratic-socialist government can substantially expand its agenda while maintaining a healthy, competitive private-sector economy?

I vote No.

I’d say Trump/MAGA because, in my view, defending democracy requires more than repeatedly calling political opponents a “threat.” It requires protecting both lawful access to the ballot and confidence that only eligible citizens vote, voter rolls are accurate, ballots remain auditable, and election systems are secure.

President Trump has advanced a specific election-integrity agenda: proof of citizenship for federal voter registration through the SAVE America Act, citizenship-verification tools for states, enforcement against unlawful voting, stronger voter-roll maintenance, paper-based voting safeguards, and greater scrutiny of vulnerabilities in electronic election systems.

Democrats say they are defending democracy through voter-registration drives, voting-rights litigation, and opposition to measures they believe could remove eligible voters. Those are real activities, but I disagree with their approach when they oppose citizenship-documentation requirements, resist federal examination of voter rolls, or portray audits and verification measures as voter suppression rather than working toward safeguards that protect both access and integrity.

Democracy is not protected by treating every Republican proposal as “fascism” or by claiming Trump and MAGA are inherently illegitimate. It is protected when eligible citizens can vote, unlawful votes are prevented, every lawful ballot is counted accurately, results can be independently verified, and political disagreements are resolved through elections and constitutional institutions.

That is why I believe Trump/MAGA are doing more to defend American democracy and election integrity than Democrats and the DSA.
