For the late night comedy shows, joking about Democrats in 2025 usually consists of lamenting the party isn’t socialist enough. To help this cause, on Wednesday’s edition of The Daily Show, radio host Charlamagne Tha God swung by Comedy Central to attack party leadership for not enthusiastically falling in behind Zohran Mamdani's New York City mayoral campaign, lament that the party won’t support people who “disrupt the capitalist system,” and call for Leaders Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries to be primaried.
Charlamagne addressed those Democrats who are not thrilled with Mamdani, “You don't love everything about Mamdani, well, in the immortal words of Young Thug, whoopty doo! Alright, get out there and support him anyway.”
After riffing on Democrats’ preponderancy for sending fundraising texts and e-mails, Charlamagne returned to the Democrats aren’t left enough, “And that brings me to the real problem. Democratic leaders never support candidates who might disrupt the capitalist system. But guess what? The current system isn't working. Americans want it remodeled the way Trump is ‘remodeling’ the East Wing. Dems act like they'll get a cookie for being the most rational people in the room. No one cares! You're trying to win voters, not get a signed headshot from Ezra Klein.”
