Democratic Socialist backed candidates keep winning primaries in New York City, Colorado, and possibly Michigan, and Hawk finds the establishment reaction more revealing than the results. The Carville and Schumer and Jeffries wing of the party is alarmed, and Hawk's explanation for the winning streak is not complicated: the voters are voting for them.
His argument is that these candidates campaign on what their base actually wants and treat those voters as people worth listening to, while the corporate and donor-driven wing of the party takes the same voters for granted. Hawk points to Zohran Mamdani in New York as the example, a candidate who won and then delivered, including his pledge regarding Benjamin Netanyahu.
The sharper edge is Hawk's read on why the establishment behaves this way. They are confident the base will never vote Republican, so there is no incentive to earn those votes, only to keep the donors happy. Which is how you get a party leadership more responsive to checks than constituents, and a base repeatedly told to be quiet and vote blue. Hawk delivers the whole thing with the sarcasm the title implies, before signing off on a nicer note about the sunset.
