A viral photo showing Sen. Bernie Sanders, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez<\/a> and Democrat mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani in Astoria lit up social media on Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Senator Sanders<\/a> is set to headline a Brooklyn town hall on his “Fighting Oligarchy” tour where he is expected to stump for Mamdani, according to reporting from the New York Times<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The post went up around 3:36 p.m. and quickly drew more than 350,000 views. The three progressive figures smiled together in Queens, a shot fans cheered and critics mocked.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The photo of the three arguably most recognizable faces in the modern far-left camp was simply captioned, “A perfect afternoon in Astoria.”<\/p>\n

Sanders, 84, and Mamdani, 33, marched together earlier this week in Manhattan\u2019s Labor Day parade side-by-side while holding up a “Power in Unity” banner. Governor Kathy Hochul, a fellow Democrat, also participated.<\/p>\n

Mamdani has pitched himself<\/a> as a democratic socialist focused on affordability. The Assemblyman promises free buses and state-operated grocery stores funded by higher taxes on the wealthy. He capped grassroots donations at $8 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sanders, who grew up in Brooklyn, has used his “Fighting Oligarchy” tour to lift the voices of younger progressives like Mamdani and Ocasio-Cortez. Both remain popular with the left wing of New York Democrats.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The photo also triggered blowback. “Three millionaires talking about socialism,” one user posted. Another joked, “The last thing your money sees before it dies.” Others wrote, “3 communists walk into a bar, they demanded the workers pay for everything.”<\/p>\n

Mamdani is expected to appear on stage with Sanders at his rally, scheduled for 6:00 pm at Brooklyn College\u2019s Leonard & Claire Tow Center for the Performing Arts.<\/p>\n
