The piece ‘s on Zohran Mandani ‘s endorsed people getting New York City primaries wins are all over the media…..
The Progressive Left , Democratic Socialist’s on the rise….
CAUTION…..
New York City is NOT ALL of America ….
The city is multi racial and cultural….
What works there is NOT gonna work is a lot of Other places…..
The Democratic Party has ALWAYS had a push-pull between it’s left and middle…..
Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. lead the media spotlight….
Middle of the road Democrats will lose their seats in some races….
But?
Even AOC and Sanders HAVE TO stick with the party for Democrats keep their majority and govern in the end…..
But?
One SHOULD expect MORE of a push for Democrats to ‘Rise Up’ against the actions of Trump & Co…..
And THAT will play TO the Democratic left out on the campaign trail’s….
Democratic socialists just caused a political earthquake. Now they’re coming for 2028.
Fresh off sweeping victories across New York City that showcased the growing power of the anti-establishment progressive left inside the Democratic Party, Democratic Socialists of America leaders, eager to capitalize on their momentum, are already plotting their next act: making sure one of their own is on the presidential primary debate stage, whether the party wants them or not.
“What DSA represents is a real contrast to Democrats who have run the last couple of elections on fear,” DSA national co-chair Megan Romer said. “You can’t run on that. You have to offer an alternative. And it’s really important that we be involved in that conversation in 2028. It’s important that we have somebody saying sensible things.”
Their search process is already underway. This summer, DSA is dispatching surveys to all 250 of its chapters, asking members to weigh who they want to back and why, and return their findings to national leadership by Sept. 15, details the group first shared with POLITICO. DSA expects to receive a stack of 20-page to 40-page dossiers from chapters coast to coast weighing in on who should carry the democratic socialist banner into 2028.
The organization plans to hold national discussions, including with leaders like New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who is 84 and not expected to run in 2028, with a formal vote expected at the group’s 2027 convention next year — though leaders say they could move faster if the primary timeline demands it.
“We’re going to be talking about millions of hours knocking doors for 2028 — so when we decide to really run somebody, people have to feel like they had a say,” Romer said…..

Bhaskar Sunkara, former DSA vice-chair and president of The Nation. “Nationally, this is a massive boon for the democratic socialist movement. The old institutional left is hollowed out — DSA has proven to be the only real mobilizational force left on the ground. “
But Sunkara noted the movement still had a lot to figure out ahead of 2028, especially if it is to translate its momentum beyond DSA’s urban, heavily lefty strongholds. Moderate Democrats have long argued that democratic socialist candidates are a liability in competitive battleground seats, too far left to win over the voters the party needs in purple districts and red-leaning states.
“A national map includes deep-red and rural districts where the left still has to figure out how to speak to working-class voters and compete,” Sunkara said. “Having national platforms through multiple members of Congress is a start there too.”…
Note….
Trump and Musk have been about LESS American Government….
Lotta people gonna vote to REVERSE their cuts….
To be expected…..
Trump Slams Socialist Victories in New York Primaries
“President Trump predicted that New York will ‘only get worse’ after two socialist candidates backed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani won Democratic congressional primaries in the Big Apple Tuesday night,” the New York Post reports.
Said Trump: “Many Communists running in badly failing Blue States. The votes seem to have them doing quite well against each other. The bad news is that history has conclusively shown that the downtrodden States that they will soon be running will ONLY GET WORSE.”
