Bernie, AI & Data Centers: Queens’ Weird Socialist Energy Crisis

On October 26, 2025, Queens witnessed a socialist fiesta with Bernie Sanders, AOC, and Zohran Mamdani rallying a packed stadium chanting 'Tax the rich!' while plotting to make AI the boogeyman of the decade. Meanwhile, AI’s energy-guzzling data centers are out here juicing up electricity bills, threatening jobs, and widening inequality with CEOs probably laughing in crypto wallets. Pollsters from Republican-linked Fabrizio Ward confirm voters everywhere think AI is that creepy new roommate who hikes the rent, ruins your vibe, and steals your job. Mamdani’s strategist, Morris Katz, suggests owning the anti-AI stance like it’s the last cold beer at a socialist keg party. Meanwhile, moderate Dem Abigail Spanberger demands data centers ‘pay their own way’ — basically telling AI to buy its own damn electricity.
