This is evidence that the US political system does not function.

There are two paths forward;

Burn down the entire thing (which Trump and frenemies are currently doing).
rebuild and reform the existing system (which can happen by voters voting for progressive centralist candidates in local and state representatives en-mass (like in NYC).

I would not call Zohran Mandani a socialist. I would call him a progressive rational centralist.

Counter point, the system is functioning as intended
