Can Wall Street survive in a city led by a DSA Mayor?

That's a good question.  Not only Wall Street - What about the theatre industry?  NYC is the capitalist center of the USA.  Can it function under a Democratic Socialist?

I checked out Wikipedia for the platform and goals of the DSA - Democratic Socialists of America.  Here is what I found:     

"DSA's long-term goal is end capitalism and replace it with democratic socialism.

DSA's 2021 platform, its most recent, calls for abolishing the Electoral College, Senate, and filibuster, social ownership of major industry and infrastructure, reparations for slavery; abolishing police and prisons, abolishing ICE, withdrawal from NATO, a second constitutional convention to establish a socialist republic.[27]"

SCARY STUFF!

He's not a communist, but it's also really stupid to think a Mayor can completely overhaul the economy of a city. Bffr.

Those who deny or minimize a strong red flag ultimately pay for their ignorance.   Perfect example: Biden.  The signs were all there: dementia, corruption, selling influence for millions, screwing up the border, the economy, inflation, the DOJ/FBI.  A total dud.  And I am not a Republican.

I don't care what you identify as, because I identify you as an idiot.

Corporate profits and income inequality at record highs. Our fascist, felon President just rammed a bill through Congress that is the biggest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in history. And you're worried about Wall Street. Silly.

I believe the OP significantly edited their post in a way that very much speaks to their lack of integrity. I'm a libertarian, not a socialist, but if the OP thinks Mamdani is scarier than Trump, then they need to get their head examined.
