Dr.
Abdul El Sayed in Michigan is one great example.
He was endorsed by both.
Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez, but he doesn't call himself a Democratic Socialist.
But it's hard to see why he's not a Democratic Socialist.
He doesn't distinguish himself from them on the issues in many ways, and he's comfortable allying with them and importantly allying with them against the mainstream of the Democratic Party.
Yeah, there are a lot of different ways to define it, but they stand apart from not only the establishment moderate in the Democratic Party, but also the kind of progressive candidate who's been winning in the Democratic Party for a long time.
I think the most obvious thing we learned is that yes, the progressive left can compete in these states.
Now it's worth noting that each of these races are idiosyncratic primaries.
They have different candidates with different strengths and weaknesses.
In Michigan, in a primary for US Senate, Democrat Dr.
Abdul El Sayed ran a campaign that received a lot of enthusiasm from progressives across the country.
And he ran against Congresswoman Haley Stevens, an establishment-backed candidate who had the advantage of tens of millions of dollars in advertisements, even though she had her own liabilities, like being a really strong supporter of Israel at a time when that's pretty unpopular among rank and file Democrats.
There was a totally different set of circumstances in Wisconsin.
That was a race for governor, where Francesca Hong, a Democratic Socialist, did not run an
Especially strong race.
She did not earn endorsements from people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez or Bernie Sanders.
She had a long track record of posting and making remarks on social media that did not make her seem like a terribly compelling politician.
Much of the final week of the campaign was spent litigating social media posts about how she had problems with Thanksgiving and Halloween.
Right.
