Another Big DSA Win: this time in Denver
[Yahoo] One week after DSA-aligned candidates scored ballot-box victories over establishment-backed contenders in two congressional primaries in New York City that grabbed outsized national attention, the group scored another major upset in a deep-blue U.S. House district in Denver, Colorado.

Democratic Rep. Diana DeGette, who was first elected to Congress in 1996 and took office in 1997, was defeated by DSA-backed Melat Kiros, a first-time candidate and former attorney who is 29 years old.

"Another Democratic Socialist is going to Congress!," the DSA touted in a social media post. "Congresswoman Kiros will take the fight for a better world to D.C: to Abolish ICE, free Palestine, and win Universal Childcare and Medicare for All."

Extremist leftists did well in several other Colorado primaries.
They’re taking the Democratic primaries with something like 10% of the Democratic voters, but the most fanatic 10%, willing to turn out when nobody else bothers. The same way that Zohran Mamdani won the primary in New York City.

4 One of these states - NY, MI, CO, or CA - will be the first to say that they're no longer going to be part of a capitalist system. They'll start making deal with each other to provide a 'true alternative' and at that point...honestly, we're finished. Whether the USG tries negotiating or force, we'll never be the same afterwards, one way or the other.

5 /\ I recommend the un-and-coming socialist state of Virginia and it's capital in Richmond as the site of the fledgling Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) capital. Of course there will be pushback from Illinois, but winter weather, the lack of proximity to existing power, and an overcrowded O'Hare airport will preclude the Illinois option.

Historical precedence exists and it's an easy commute from Langley, the Supreme Court on First Street NE, Washington, D.C. and Dulles International which all make Richmond the hands-down choice.

6 At what point does this come into effect?


The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government.

8 Will a DSA revolt be treated like the CSA one was?
