    Progressives are winning more and more seats

    Can’t undersell the amount of progress DSA and its allies have made in the last six years.

    But we’re talking about half a dozen Congressional seats. A smattering of state and local races. Lots of people who are totally untested and unproven. Lots of people - like El Sayud and Mamdani - who seem more than happy to meet Zionists and bigot reactionaries halfway.

    And they’re squaring off against legions of ICE goons, corporate drones, and fascist billionaires fully on board with mass extermination of their opponents.

    Look at Bo French down in Texas. This is a guy who is advocating a Holocaust of 100M people across the US. He’s polling even with Jon Rosenthal, a Democrat who wants to maybe raise taxes on energy companies a little bit.

    the DNC will be replaced

    I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for it to happen.
