Couple other quick notes re some of the dem-socialist/progressive/moderate conversation: 1. NYC DSA backed a candidate for City Council in 2017 in the most progressive part of Max Rose’s district & that candidate didn’t win the primary.
I think a lot about how there are many ways to win/lose. You can lose in a way that builds power to win big, next time, repeatedly. The absolute best election night party I have ever been to was Jabari for council in 2017. was clear what could happen then.
