      One of the three Mamdani - endorsed DSA-backed candidates who won their primaries for Congress in NYC last night.

      You thought the malding of AOC and Ilhan and Zohran were bad? get ready for a new wave with DAC and others coming onboard. I think the better 10-20% of the DSAers are going to make Mamdani look like Ted Cruz. Not to say they will be truly effective at building socialism through the bourgeois electoral/political system, just looking forward to the establishment meltdown as they gain ground

      She’s about to become the most left wing member of US congress that’s probably ever been elected.

      Which I mean, we’re grading on a US scale, but it’s still pretty nice. It’s a very strong position to agitate from and boost other movements.
