SOCIALISTS, I HATE THESE GUYS: Socialism on the ballot: Races to watch in the DSA orbit as the ‘squad’ may expand.
DSA-backed candidates could expand the socialist contingent in the House beyond prominent members such as Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich.
Two DSA-endorsed candidates, Darializa Avila Chevalier in New York’s 13th Congressional District and Melat Kiros in Colorado’s 1st Congressional District, unseated established Democrats in their primaries. They have already discussed plans to demand policy concessions from Democrats running for speaker of the House, should the party win the majority next week.
In addition to Chevalier and Kiros, the DSA has endorsed Donavan McKinney (Mich., 13), Claire Valdez (N.Y., 7), Chris Rabb (Pa., 3), Angela Gonzales-Torres (Calif., 34), Mai Vang (Calif., 7), and Lauren Jewett (La., 1).
I have seen the future: The Democrat Party Is a Socialist Skinsuit. “Gordillo is here to tell you that not only is the Democrat Party dead, but he and his DSA comrades wear its skinsuit.”
