The growing visibility of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and victories by some DSA-backed candidates has triggered an upsurge of redbaiting by Republicans and fear-mongering by moderate Democrats.
The gravity inside Congress is already poised to radically shift – and the primary season is far from over. In primary elections across the U.S. this year, progressive outsiders have defeated moderates and centrists and dethroned multiple incumbents.
DSA’s and Mayor Mamdani’s candidates rocked establishment incumbents backed by unions and political bigwigs. In most cases it wasn’t even close. You don’t always win, but when you do? “People carry that with them for the rest of their lives.”
