The House voted 285-98 to approve a resolution condemning the “horrors of socialism” Friday morning, just hours before President Donald Trump is set to meet with New York’s incoming democratic socialist mayor Zohran Mamdani.

Eighty-six Democrats joined with Republicans to approve the measure. Two others voted present. No Republican voted to oppose it.

Speaker Mike Johnson and House GOP leaders have decried Mamdani’s election as the next mayor of the country’s largest city, citing his far-left politics and arguing he is the new, radical face of the Democratic Party. They’ve vowed to make him a centerpiece of their attacks against Democrats ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

They did not, however, formally recommend a no vote. A swath of moderate Democrats, especially from New York, are uncomfortable with Mamdani’s rise in their party.

Didn't they already vote on this a year or two ago?

1. I guess the vote against the Horrors of Fascism

Will come next week. Trump and his fascism are already the centerpiece of Dems attacks against the fascists, er I mean republicans so no need to make such a vow.

2. Even now, Dems get jerked around by the GOPs

while the GOPs cover for and enable their Nazi regime.

It's pathetic.

[Bluestocking]

4. It is so sad that any Dem would support this nonsense

[SidneyR]

5. The horror of a system that challenges their monopolies and their profits

and puts the working people in charge. That's the worst nightmare of the capitalist.

10. And, a thing that they will literally kill for to make sure it does not catch on.

Which is why I keep advocating it. Removing the current system would remove the majority of the reason that we have such a screwed up societal model and yet... we would rather keep things in their biased and unequal way than even consider doing something that will actually work against this unfettered greed machine we live in.

We love our biases, after all.

6. Brownest noses in congress. They are just wanting the donors to know that they won't rock their boat and the people be

damned.

7. Is Socialism Bad! and Fascism Good? Not so much!

8. JFC

Some Dems approved this?

This is why we can't have nice things like health care

[Polybius]

11. 86 Democrats approved this

Including Hakeem Jeffries.

[orangecrush]

12. This is discouraging

To put it mildly

[Polybius]

13. I still can't explain it

Why would so many in our Party vote for this, especially our leader?

[orangecrush]

14. I'm sure

There will be someone along to explain shortly.

9. Socialism! Oh my God

Did they mention anything about the Trump administration holding a 10% stake in Intel Corp, a 15% stake in MP Materials, a 10% stake in Lithium Americas Corp, a 10% stake in Trilogy Metals Inc. and a "golden share" in US Steel Corporation. Sounds kind of like socialism.
