This will be the year that Bernie-endorsed economic populists blow up the map, winning races from NYC's Commie Corridor to California's Kern County, from hipsters' deep blue urban core to the red-and-purple edges of exurban, anti-establishment rage.
The primary season is not over yet. And already, the number of Democratic socialists in Congress is set to double.
Claire Valdez, Darializa Avila Chevalier, and Chris Rabb will join Bernie Sanders, Rashida Tlaib, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
And there may yet be more to come.
The most resounding lesson from the post-Mamdani heater that DSA is currently riding is that knocking on doors still really, really good for getting you elected.
My dear friend Aber Kawas just just won the State Senate race in District 12, becoming the first Palestinian to be elected to New York State Legislature. And she's a democratic socialist.
I took my bike ride to work past all of the Giannis Antetokounmpo murals. I don’t know what happens to them next, but the civic pride they inspired was palpable.
Printers never work because they are an affront to God. Man was not meant to pull objects from the digital realm into the real world. Icarus is flying too close to the sun.
First voter I spoke to in Ridgewood told me she voted for Claire Valdez but doesn’t associate with the DSA because they aren’t left enough for her.
Off to a start in the “Commie Corridor”
It is important to resist the commodification of basic human needs. Food, water and healthcare cannot be subordinated to market considerations or geopolitical interests. Access to adequate food is a fundamental human right grounded in the dignity of every person. Meeting this need not only alleviates suffering but also addresses underlying causes of geopolitical instability. Indeed, food security is an essential component of global and integral security. https://t.co/DgkM9RegJ7
