Democratic Party candidates who support socialized medicine, rent control, and wealth taxes winning primary elections are, unfortunately, no longer breaking news. After all, the Democratic Socialists of America already control New York, Chicago, and Seattle and are poised to win Los Angeles and Washington, too.
What is new, however, is the slate of anti-American, pro-Islamic terrorism candidates who swept the June 23 Democratic Party primaries thanks to the endorsement of socialist Muslim immigrant New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani. This new crop of Islamic socialist Democrats represents the Third-Worldification of the Democratic Party and should motivate the Republican Party to get its general election act together.

In New York’s 13th Congressional District, professional activist Darializa Avila Chevalier defeated the Congressional Hispanic Caucus chairman, five-term Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-NY), on a platform of abolishing ICE, defunding the police, and ending all aid to Israel. Raised in Florida by Dominican immigrants, Chevalier has never had a job outside higher education, where she has been protesting and pursuing degrees since 2012.
In that time, Chevalier helped found the Columbia University Apartheid and Divest coalition, a group whose stated purpose includes “the total eradication of Western civilization.” She has criticized both black and Arab men for “fetishizing ugly colonizer women,” by which she means white women. And she has called “all deportation wrong,” adding, “A world without borders — just like a world without prisons or police — is possible, necessary, and the only moral way forward.”
Former painter and art history major Claire Valdez, who won New York’s 7th Congressional District primary, is no less radical than Chevalier. In addition to abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Valdez wants to grant all illegal immigrants citizenship and the right to vote. Valdez has said that the United States has no right to enforce its borders because it is a nation “founded on genocide and mass displacement of people.”
No Mamdani-backed candidate better demonstrates the mindset of the Islamic socialist left than New York state Senate candidate Aber Kawas, the daughter of Palestinian immigrants deported for property fraud.
“The system of capitalism and racism and white supremacy and Islamophobia have all been used to colonize lands, to take resources from other people, and so this is a long trajectory, and we’re just seeing the manifestations of that continuation with 9/11,” Kawas said, justifying the Islamic terrorist attacks on the U.S.
“A lot of us come from lands that were colonized, lands where wars are being waged,” Kawas continued. “Whether it is July 4th, Thanksgiving, Veterans, Columbus, or now Labor Day, we enjoy days off that are supposed to be victories for people, when they truly represent the silencing and destruction of our movements.”
The Islamic socialists pushed by Mamdani are a new breed of Democrat. Not only do they hate America, but they also don’t even think of themselves as American. This Third World ideology sees the poor, formerly colonized countries of the Global South, united by Islam, as the main engine of justice and revolution against Western imperialism and colonialism, of which the U.S. is the ultimate embodiment.

Not all Democrats are on board with this new Third Worldism. While Chevalier dominated among white college-educated voters and recent Muslim immigrants, she lost among predominantly black and Latino voters by 10 points. But the old guard of minority Democrats, best represented by Espaillat, has lost control of the party. The Islamic socialists are on the rise, and so far, no national Democrat has shown the will to confront them.
Voters should stop pretending this is just another progressive factional fight. The Democratic Party’s new socialist wing is not merely hostile to capitalism — it is increasingly hostile to America itself. If Democrats will not confront this Third World radicalism, voters must. The hour is later than they think.
