Quote:A resolution denouncing the “horrors of socialism” was approved by the House by a vote of 285-98 on Friday morning, just hours before President Donald Trump is scheduled to meet with Zohran Mamdani, the incoming Democratic socialist mayor of New York.

Republicans and 86 Democrats approved the measure. Two others voted present. No Republican voted to oppose it.

GOP officials, including Speaker Mike Johnson, have denounced Mamdani’s win in the country’s biggest city, portraying him as the newest radical incarnation of the Democratic Party. As the 2026 midterm elections approach, they have already made it clear that they intend to use him as a political battering ram.

Republicans wrote the bill, which Democrats attacked, saying it “selectively lists certain despotic leaders and the harms of totalitarian regimes self-labeled socialist.” Party officials did not, however, explicitly call for a no vote. Mamdani’s abrupt ascension has clearly unnerved many moderates, particularly those in New York.

Mamdani said Thursday that although he holds significant policy differences with President Donald Trump, he intends to work with the administration on any initiatives that he believes will benefit New Yorkers.

Mamdani is scheduled to meet with Trump at the White House on Friday at 3 p.m. ET. It will be their first meeting and comes shortly after Mamdani’s victory in the November 4 New York City mayoral election.

“I have many disagreements with the President, and I believe that we should be relentless and pursue all avenues and all meetings that can make our city affordable for every single New Yorker,” Mamdani told reporters, per NDTV.

“I intend to make it clear to President Trump that I will work with him on any agenda that benefits New Yorkers. If an agenda hurts New Yorkers, I will also be the first to say so,” he added.

Mamdani noted that his team reached out to the administration for the meeting “because I will work with anyone to make life more affordable for the more than eight and a half million people who call this city home.” He also said it’s customary for an incoming New York City Mayor to meet with the White House, “given the mutual reliance.”

He said the meeting is especially important amid a national affordability crisis — a challenge New Yorkers experience across the city — as well as concerns in many municipalities about maintaining public safety while responding to policy changes implemented by the current administration.

Mamdani went on to note that for New Yorkers, his meeting with the president “is between two very different candidates who they voted for the same reason. They wanted a leader who would take on the cost of living crisis that makes it impossible for working people to afford living in this city.”

In a post on Truth Social Wednesday night, Trump had said that the “communist” Mayor of New York City “Zohran ‘Kwame’ Mamdani, has asked for a meeting. We have agreed that this meeting will take place at the Oval Office on Friday, November 21st.”

Trump has been sharply critical of Mamdani’s policy positions and warned on the eve of the November 4 election that a Mamdani victory would be a “complete and total economic and social disaster” for New York City.

In his victory speech, Mamdani pushed back against Trump, who has intensified immigration enforcement during his second term. Mamdani said New York would continue to be strengthened by its immigrant communities and, following his historic win, would now be “led by an immigrant.”

“After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him. And if there is any way to terrify a despot, it is by dismantling the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power,” Mamdani had said to raucous applause.

“This is not only how we stop Trump; it’s how we stop the next one. So, Donald Trump, since I know you’re watching, I have four words for you: Turn the volume up,” Mamdani added.

Trump described Mamdani’s victory speech as “very angry,” saying the mayor-elect was “off to a bad start” and would struggle to succeed without showing respect for federal leadership.

Even several Democrats jumped on board. Wow. (I mean they know a lot of what they support is somewhat in the same vein, but they're not full-bore socialists. They're just anti-Trump.)

The country has really gone to shite for this to even be an issue.

Some people say it's Kruciff. Others are saying it's the Fat Commie Bastard. I think it could be ChickenHorseMan. So I've dubbed it KruciffHorseGirl (?).

You're right. It shouldn't be an issue. But of course, as they say, "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it." (Somewhat butchered quote from Winston Churchill.)

Wait, What? Democrat Leader Who Supported Mamdani Just Voted to Condemn Socialism

Rent free! Enjoyed the Landman clip but can’t watch the show. Cancelled Paramount when they caved to Trump.

Roxie ain’t me but I do enjoy their posts. It’s funny to watch you guys scramble for Meme And Gifs And… nothing of substance. MAGA **** yeah!

Now what are they voting exactly? To condemn authoritarian socialism or democratic socialism or just the word socialism? As the wealth gap continues to go Republicans/MAGA are doing themselves no favors. Trump’s approval ratings are awful but go on with your meaningless votes. Oh that’s right Fox News is no longer to be believed because they turned on Trump in 2020 and reported bad poll results this week.

Nope. Just making fun of you. There is a difference.

Rent free. I don’t even have to comment in a thread for ya’ll bring me up.
I find it hysterical you and others think I care. Where are all the comments about how the right is winning and nobody like the left? Instead the vast majority of response are to name call and or meme. You don’t discuss the points. Instead you and the other self proclaimed “alphas” TRY to insult and high five each other, like you peaked in high school. Enjoy your “difference”

And congress wonders why we hate them. With all the real bills that need to be passed they are voting on a bill that does and means nothing.
