Zohran Mamdani’s NYC mayoral campaign is facing sharp scrutiny after revelations that the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) helped craft key parts of his policy agenda—including proposals to use city funds for nationwide transgender treatments.
A DSA panelist claimed the group is “in the best possible position to seize state power” thanks to Mamdani’s cooperation.
Key Facts:
- DSA organizer Daniel Goulden claimed close collaboration with NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani during a July panel.
- Goulden stated that DSA helped write Mamdani’s transgender healthcare policy platform.
- The plan includes using $65 million in city funds to provide free “gender-affirming care,” even to people outside New York.
- Mamdani’s website confirms intentions to make NYC an “LGBTQIA+ Sanctuary City.”
- Goulden suggested New York could bypass state laws elsewhere by using telehealth and mail prescriptions to provide treatments nationwide.
The Rest of The Story:
In a Democratic Socialists of America panel titled “United Struggles: Resistance to Bodily Autonomy Restrictions,” DSA organizer Daniel Goulden boasted about the group’s influence over NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani.
According to Goulden, DSA has not only worked closely with Mamdani’s campaign but has actively co-authored parts of his political platform.
“With Zohran, we’re in basically the best possible position to seize state power,” Goulden said.
He emphasized personal ties with Mamdani’s campaign team, mentioning long-standing relationships with Mamdani’s policy director and campaign manager.
The primary collaboration appears to be around Mamdani’s sweeping transgender healthcare proposal.
“We wrote the platform with him,” said Goulden.
The goal, he explained, was to “use the power of New York City to provide free gender-affirming care,” even beyond state borders.
This includes leveraging telehealth and mail-in prescriptions to deliver transgender treatments into states where such practices may be banned.
Mamdani’s campaign website confirms these intentions, outlining a $65 million commitment to “expand access to gender affirming care.”
Of that, $57 million would go to NYC-based hospitals and clinics, while $8 million would support transgender advocacy groups, with special emphasis on serving both adults and children—even in light of federal funding cuts.
“We wrote the platform with him… now he’s going to be mayor.”

Commentary:
New York City voters should take a long, hard look at what’s unfolding.
Zohran Mamdani isn’t just a progressive Democrat; he’s a candidate whose campaign is intertwined with a radical socialist organization aiming to “seize state power.”
That’s not hyperbole—it’s a direct quote from a DSA organizer who helped write his policies.
This isn’t about civil rights or compassionate healthcare. It’s about an ideological takeover using city funds as a political weapon.
Mamdani and his allies in DSA are openly plotting to defy state laws across America by funneling taxpayer money into programs that push their agenda far beyond city limits.
That’s not leadership—that’s lawfare wrapped in social justice buzzwords.
Let’s be honest: if New Yorkers are foolish enough to hand over power to someone like Mamdani, they will deserve every ounce of the chaos that follows.
New York has already become a symbol of what happens when far-left policies go unchecked—skyrocketing crime, economic decline, and fleeing businesses.
Mamdani promises more of the same, just with a bigger budget and even more radical goals.
And if voters truly decide this is the direction they want, then the rest of America should respond accordingly.
Maybe Trump should build a wall—not on the southern border, but around New York City to keep the madness contained.
Because if you elect someone who wants to use city funds to wage political war on the rest of the country, don’t be surprised when the country stops taking your calls.
America is not a socialist nation. We don’t need candidates whose policy playbooks are ghostwritten by the Democratic Socialists of America.
If Mamdani wins, New Yorkers will have no one to blame but themselves when the city falls even further into dysfunction. Let them pay the full price.
The Bottom Line:
Zohran Mamdani’s campaign is deeply aligned with socialist goals, with DSA insiders boasting of direct influence over his platform.
Their shared aim to use city resources to push controversial policies nationwide should alarm every voter.
If New York elects Mamdani, they’re signing up for a radical experiment—with very real costs.
