Over the last few weeks, centrist Democrats have attempted mightily to discount the Democratic Socialists of America’s (DSA) and other recent progressive victories in New York City. The victories don’t bear real political significance, they argue, because they were propelled by gentrification and the turnout was low. Unfortunately for them, this is mostly cope.
That’s the real story — not the DSA won, but the internal repercussions of them winning.
Which is very relevant and important.
