Three DSA-backed candidates swept Democratic primaries in New York City last week, including one who beat incumbent Dan Goldman. Days later, a 29-year-old named Milou Kiros beat 30-year incumbent Diana DeGette in Colorado's first congressional district in a Tuesday primary. The establishment response has been to call it a socialism problem.
Hawk argues it is an affordability problem. Zohran Mamdani's winning mayoral platform was built on housing costs, rent control, free transit, daycare, and taxing the rich. Those policies poll extremely well. The word socialism polls badly. Paul Krugman's Substack draws the distinction clearly: what most Americans actually support is social democracy, a market system with progressive taxation, safety nets, and regulation to limit inequality. DSA co-chair Megan Romer put it plainly after the Colorado result, telling the Democratic establishment they had been warned. Ro Khanna weighed in immediately after the race.
Half of Americans cannot meet their basic daily needs. Trump's $2.2 billion financial disclosure dropped the same week as the Colorado primary. Establishment Democrats have been captured by corporate donors, the one percent, and AIPAC, and the voting base is done pretending otherwise.
