If these ideas are important to you, why wouldn't you just run on the ideas and shut up about the socialism part?
And I asked a couple of the candidates who I talked to, and the answers I got were interesting.
A word that came up a lot was accountability, that they felt like running as a DSA-endorsed socialist was an accountability measure for them as candidates and for them in the eyes of their voters.
That this was an actual program that they were subscribing to, that they
We're going to be held to and that they looked forward to being held to.
But this is also something that I think makes sense in a democratic primary principally.
I think how you navigate that in the general election is a whole other question.
Is nominating a socialist outside of a kind of safe blue jurisdiction in a statewide race?
Is this just asking for trouble in a race that Democrats would really like to?
Yeah.
Right, but what's not untested
I think that's another thing where this is changing a little bit.
How much it's changing is very much up for debate.
It is the case that the sort of median DSA voter was a college-educated professional who was probably downwardly economically mobile.
Not a picture of the working class, much less the working class of color in this country.
That has sort of evolved over time, though.
I mean, it's worth noting that you
So Mamdani won with a bigger map than previous DSA candidates in New York.
Donovan McKinney won a plurality black district in Detroit.
And you also saw a pretty different pattern of DSA support, at least in the exit polls, from Angie Nixon's primary win in Florida.
