The difference is geography and competition. When the Red-Green coalition wins Democrat Party primaries in uni-party blue enclaves, there is no meaningful general-election correction. Moscow on the Hudson can hand City Hall to Mamdani. Deep-blue districts can swap old bosses for younger socialist organizers. The regular Democrats become tenants in their own house, then get evicted. But where two parties still exist—especially in swing states—the DSA winning a primary may be political death in November. El-Sayed’s Michigan win is not automatically proof of a national leftist majority. It may be proof that the DNC has lost control of its candidate-selection process. The regular Democrats are marginalized. The DNC is emasculated. And the old coalition either sits around like the Working Families Party in New York—a once-important but now impotent bloc—or starts looking for new political homes. Some will go independent. Some may even vote Republican. The 2026 test is whether Mamdaniism travels beyond cities where the primary is the election.
You have completely ignored the antisemitism that fuels the DSA and their recent victories —-, and many of its members are Jewish. And ignorant Jews , I might add, who do not appreciate our history and culture.
Jews have a long history of multiracial, leftist, and liberal politics, and diverse opinions. It is not ignorant for us to acknowledge that our cultural values are irreconcilable with genocide and apartheid.
Yes, ”Israel” uses technology from American tech companies like Microsoft and Amazon to enforce apartheid, and surveil and murder Palestinian civilians.
I love to learn ancient history but it’s not usually something to base my politics on. I’m concerned more about my future as a Jew living in the United States and I believe DSA-aligned leadership is more equipped at defeating fascism and anti-semitism than any establishment Democrat that makes excuses for genocide.
@Sammie Seems that not many people have read the relatively newly updated charter of the DSA. The cohort that is virulently opposed to AIPAC is ok with the Muslim Brotherhood and its connections to Hamas. Mamdani chose an attorney who represented terrorists to head the NYC Advisory Committee on the Judiciary and did not appoint any Jewish attorneys to the committee. Mamdani was booed off the stage several days ago and almost 79,000 signers have requested that he not attend the 9/11 25th memorial ceremony. Campaigning with Hasan Piker speaks volumes about who El-Sayed is and what he truly represents. Divisiveness cloaked in a progressive and anti capitalist mantle does not make it anything other than divisive and inflammatory. It’s a good idea to delve more deeply into background, history and mind set to better grasp what the real plan is. Possible that it may not be what you’re expecting.
The pushback is against an Israel that permits the atrocities in Gaza , the West Bank and Lebanon… it’s not a pushback against Jewish people, many of whom are actually down with politicians like el sayed and Mamdani 😎
You have completely ignored the antisemitic wave that these DSA operatives, and many of them are Jewish, have used to disrupt rational thought at the ballot box. You would have to be either blind or stupid to not recognize Darialisa as a proud and unabashed Anti Semitic candidate for the United States Congress.
Atrocities? Excuse me?Hamas has as much blood on their hands as the IDF .
. Granted Netanyahu has obliterated the utopian foundations of the Jewish State. However this new breed of extreme operatives has no empathy for the Israeli -Jewish population -hence ALL Jewish people all over the world . There are only 15 or 16 million of us left on this planet. And we are well too familiar with how we have been eternally sought after for annihilation more so than any
other peoples throughout history.
I’m ashamed at the fourth generation of young Jewish voters for having forsaken their Jewish identity.
"The Mamdani Coalition: A coherence of Democratic voters — young people of all races, socialists, progressives, pacifists, tenants, millennials, South Asians, Arabs, Muslims, college-graduates, “No Kings” boomers, the children of immigrants, the cost-burdened (working families, fixed-income seniors, mortgaged homeowners) "
LMAO, the DSA is whiter and less economically diverse than the GOP.
the "how will we pay for it" arguments only faded because the left's platform has largely ceded ground on economic policy.
Medicare 4 all is nothing but a dream now, even those running on it like sayed discuss on their website how ACA expansions and public option are a good enough compromise. AOC flat out admitted that in february 2020, in the middle of bernie's 2nd campaign, when all other candidates like kamala were trying to co-opt that campaign plank from him.
The public, after bidenflation, has become so allergic to any form of social spending, especially with trump's tax on tips doing numbers and helping him flip nevada, francesca hong for instance is giving into terrible conservative policy like cutting property taxes, while giving no alternatives to where the money will come, not even LVT.
even the anti-zionist posture is fully in-line with what nethanyahu and the now-dead graham wanted, cutting foreign aid to allow israel to become self-sufficient, while continue to aid it militarily, whether directly via merging militaries or allowing it to buy weapons. no sanctions are ever discussed by these candidates.
it's all a farce, and the fact that these people are winning are more of an indictment on the electorate, who's willing to eat up anything that seems insurgent, while it is nothing but a counter insurgence to help the DNC's terrible approvals get back up after the disastrous biden era
I think the last paragraphs are the key here. Internal primary dynamics bear little relation to general election success in actually competitive places like Michigan. Christine O'Donnell and Herschel Walker won their primaries on the back of a well-organized populist movement, after all.
Powerhouse piece.

Do the total of the three democratic candidates exceed the anticipated Republican turnout? Will democratic primary voters return in November?
Rahm, the self-elected spokesman of the moderate democrats sees the Mandani left as assuring Republicans wins, what say you?
As an ex Chicagoan I can confidently tell you that Rahm is full of sheeeet 🤔😃😂😡

I see. So the Netanyahu regime has single handily targeted Palestinian civilians with IBM generated data in the same way that the Nazis
systemized THE FINAL SOLUTION with the help of the burgeoning American computer industry.These are facts. .
I am no apologist for the blood bath - on either side.
The intelligent option is to study and understand the gnarled history of the region , which goes back to documented Biblical timelines.

We can thank the K-PHD communist propaganda machine for turning out ignorant voters. It's the faux educated that will destroy America.

I honestly don’t think Hershel Walker is remotely in the same league as Dr el sayed 😎 literally 🤔😆
