DSA winning across the US

[MediumKahuna]

In case you didn't know, Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)-backed candidates are winning/advancing in primaries across the US and it seems that Mamdani's win in NY was not an anomaly. We are seeing democratic socialists win in Midwestern and Southern states - despite millions spent by AIPAC on smear campaigns. Corporatist/establishment Dems are losing to grassroots, anti-Israel, pro-working-class campaigns.

Personally, I think (and hope) this trend will continue as people abandon politics as usual and grow tired of do-nothing centrist Democrats.

What do you guys think?

Their biggest weakness is they’re most popular among young voters and least popular among older voters, but most voters are older.

Probably a backlash from everything Trump-related.

Good. For sure I think several of DSA's positions are stupid, but overall I like them a lot better than the status quo.
