    Would they use the exact methods used by Zohran Mamdani which earned him the office of Mayor of NYC?

    Advancing policies that benefit and appeal to the voters so that they vote for you?

      Something like that - I think the key is to be ambiguous, and probably euphemisms like “class-conscious populism”. I assume Zohran won the mayoral election without mentioning socialism or capitalism in his platform. What did he do without mentioning socialism?

              Yes, it is right.

              Social democracy is a broad, centre-left[1] to left-wing[2] social, economic, and political ideology within the wider socialist movement[3] that supports political and economic democracy[4] and a gradualist, reformist, and democratic approach toward achieving social equality. In modern practice, social democracy has taken the form of a predominantly capitalist,[5] yet robust welfare state, with policies promoting social justice, market regulation, and a more equitable distribution of income.[5][6]
