Surely you understand that the word socialism means a lot of different things to different people?

You argument is that this is "just generally bad"? Or somehow a socialist mayor will be the downfall of western civilization or something? It seems like if his policies are bad, he won't be reelected and you'll have a more succinct example to point to than "all of human history". The great thing about a mayor is that they have very limited ability to impact civil rights, Giuliani notwithstanding.

Well this rather small level of nuanced thinking you are suggesting is never applied to conservatives is it? So we'll take the same approach with liberals.

What you are saying is effectively dog-whistling in support of Stalinism. And that means you support the killing millions of people.

Clearly you are evil and your career should be destroyed.

Look how smart and virtuous I am everybody!
