Despite the US being the most propagandized people in the history of humanity, I think the cracks are beginning to show regarding any status quo politics for everyone to see. People have lost trust in the established parties both "left" and right, having been betrayed by them every single time, and now the situation seems to be getting so serious it can't be ignored.

Seeing Mamdani be elected and celebrated by the people while at the same time the paid media from both parties have been smearing him and sounding alarm bells of a "scary communist danger", shows that the propaganda is no longer working as before. This is not to say that Mamdani will definitely stay true to socialism, personally I believe he can't even if he wanted to, but it does give the impression that the people are finally realizing that they have common class interests, and they can only win by fighting against capitalists and not bending to their whim every time and hoping to get a big piece of their crumbs.
