Sewer socialism is flowing through America's cities
America's cities are experiencing a resurgence of 'sewer socialism,' a movement focused on expanding public programs like affordable housing and childcare. The term, rooted in early 20th-century Milwaukee policies, is now championed by figures such as Zohran Mamdami, Katie Wilson, and Janeese Lewis George. Polls indicate growing public support for socialism, particularly among college students and younger voters.
