Mamdani’s a good proof of concept. The party brought everything down it could to ratfuck him, before and after the primaries, and failed. We just had a progressive win in New Jersey. Another in Fort Worth.
Decisively in all cases.
That last one shows the centrist “we need to run centrists to win in conservative districts” line to be so much bullshit.
that is definitely a litmus test for where democratic voters heads are at, but that’s also definitely not control of party.
see schumer’s mission statement of protecting isreal at all costs to understand where the democratic party leadership’s heads are at despite bernie actually having a say in it.

Not yet, no. But there haven’t been a ton of races since trump won and it became undeniable that centrist democrats were both unprepared and unwilling to take on this challenge. The more progressives win, the more influence they can exert on the party.
Because the centrist wing has lost all credibility and we’re seeing their power to block progressives waning.
do you have any evidence for this?
