Conrad Blackburn, the DSA-backed candidate for Assembly District 70, concedes the race to Assembly Member Jordan Wright.
“You all still came out to fight for a better life for your neighbors,” he says. “It is not easy to take power from capitalists.”
DSA ran and won a white guy against a woman of color in a 70% non-white district - turns out people care about your substance & politics more than your skin color
Identity politics found dead in a ditch!
‼️🚨 A MESSAGE FROM @hasanthehun: "Join your local DSA. Join your YDSA, if you're young. Join your DSA chapter. Start a DSA chapter. Be the change you want to see." @DemSocialists@YDSA_
Look at what @nycDSA was able to accomplish tonight. Let's get that done across the country. ✊🏽🌹
If there was any remaining questions as to whether there was any constituency for Harris 2020-style institutionalist left-liberalism this should completely settle it. Voters on the left want the left. Period. End of story.
it cannot be overstated the powerful movement that @nycDSA has built. grace, @unionGustavo and jeremy are great organizers. they know nothing grows movements like winning, so the org agrees on a vision, then proceeds to outwork their opponents by 100x. looks easy, but hard to do.
Great being out here in Sunnyside with @SenGianaris and @UAWRegion9A standing in solidarity with labor.
There are less than 5 hours left until polls close. Make sure to get out there and make your voice heard.
