You are correct, gm. It's a more uphill fight today for Mandani than it was in the first half of the 20th century for Milwaukee's socialist mayors.
Honestly, i worry about his safety. It is not out of the question that the motherfuckers could go all Fred Hampton on him.

I recall as a kid, our last socialist Mayor, Frank Zeidler, rode the city buses to work. I remember sitting next to him more than once when i was going to the downtown area.

I again sat next to him on a flight to Denver when i was reporting to my last Air Force assignment in 1970.

Then, I attended my first socialist meeting 2 years later in Milwaukee where he welcomed me into the party. He left office when the Democrats took over in 1966.

BTW, sorry for using all most instead of almost in my first posting. LOL!!!! I'm slipping in my old age. Dang!!!
