There's a vast difference between Communism/Socialism and Democratic Socialism. Notice how the word "Democratic" was left out of the resolution.

Why in God's name would any Democratic Representative vote for this when they have to know it's pure propaganda to damn Mamdani's visit today. And no, I do not think Mamdani wants to turn NYC into Cuba.
