When you donate $40 million to help your fellow citizens, it's socialism.
When you donate $40 million to a political campaign, it's democracy.
Somewhere in an alternate universe this makes sense.

- Super PACs that support Andrew Cuomo and oppose Zohran Mamdani for New York City mayor have raised over $40 million.
- Bill Ackman, Ronald Lauder, William Lauder, Barry Diller and Dan Loeb have all made large donations, as well as several non-New Yorkers like Steve Wynn and Alice Walton.
- Mamdani, a self-described Democratic socialist, is running on a platform that includes rent freezes and free buses, paid for in part by an additional 2% tax on New Yorkers who make more than $1 million a year.
