"First of all, we have to give the president a lot of credit here. He inherited one of the worst inflation crises in American history, said Vance. Housing is too expensive. Groceries are too expensive. I would say they are too expensive because we inherited a disastrous Biden economy. Notably, though, having noted that young people feel like the American dream is unaffordable, Vance went on to say that fellow conservatives make a mistake in dismissing Mamdani as a socialist, as a communist."
"Unless we give young people a stake in the future, we can't dismiss their concerns of socialism. They're going to choose socialism if given an option between free stuff and a bad life, he continued. We have got to do a better job at articulating it, or they're going to continue to be attracted to people like Mamdani. Just two weeks ago, Trump mocked Mamdani in an appearance on Fox & Friends, calling him my little communist."
Housing and groceries are too expensive and are blamed on the Biden economy. Young people increasingly feel the American dream is unaffordable. Dismissing progressive candidates as merely socialist or communist risks alienating youth who desire economic security and a stake in the future. If presented with choices between immediate material relief and long-term economic insecurity, many young voters may prefer policies labeled socialist. Conservatives must better articulate economic opportunity and ownership to compete for youth support. Trump mocked Zohran Mamdani as "my little communist," highlighting partisan responses to rising progressive momentum.
