It's the "democratic" socialist moment.
The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) engineered the primary victories of three winning candidates in New York's recent congressional races. A week later, DSA-backed Melat Kiros toppled a 30-year incumbent in Colorado's 1st congressional district, sailing to victory. "You are the proof that the power of organized people beats the power of organized money," Kiros told supporters. When House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D–N.Y.) appeared onscreen at a Zohran Mamdani victory party in New York, the crowd chanted, "You're next, you're next, you're next."
