What if you were told even 10 years ago that America’s largest and most complex city would likely be governed by a socialist who has called for abolishing prisons, the New York City Police Department, private health insurance, medical bills, and guns; creating legal injection sites for drug abusers; legalizing sex work; ending all cash bail laws; making all drugs legal, creating government-run supermarkets, free busing, and universal free child care; ending all deportations; and eliminating Immigration and Customs Enforcement. 

What if I also told you just five years ago that this candidate would defeat former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who was considered the most popular Democrat in America in 2020?
