An election for the mayor of New York City on Nove. 4, 2025 showed that America's political divisions are worse than ever. For the first time in history citizens elected a self-avowed socialist. Not only is Zohran Mamdani a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, but he is also a Ugandan Muslim who adheres to the Shia Twelver sect, meaning that it took about one generation after the September 11 terrorist attacks for New York City to vote in a Muslim socialist who regards the leader of Iran as a spiritual authority. One exit poll showed that a huge share of Mamdani voters either were not born or were living elsewhere when New Yorkers were falling to their deaths as the World Trade Center towers collapsed on September 11.
