New York’s socialists are ready to man the barricades in the wake of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s shock resignation — declaring Wednesday that it’s time for them to “seize the moment.” In an afternoon email blast, the New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America said that “with Cuomo gone, we have removed the biggest roadblocks to our socialist platform.” “We have so many campaigns whose potential for victory just increased exponentially,” the email said. “We are within striking distance of winning universal healthcare, social housing, and a Green New Deal.” NYC-DSA claimed credit for helping oust Cuomo, saying it “was one of the first organizations” to demand his impeachment over the sexual harassment scandal that forced him to resign in disgrace on Tuesday.
