Excellent strategy decision to market yourself as US nationalist when 60+% of your (potential) base is favorable toward Palestine in that point a couple weeks back. I think it's only a matter of time until the DSA are as mainstream as Bernie was. Obviously not going to stop libshit from happening, cause anything actually cool will not gain any traction, but it's going to make things a lot more interesting.

Culture in the West is in the midst of a right wing "backlash" against neoliberalism, but the support for it can't hold indefinitely since capital will necessarily have to betray the support it gets from the lower and middle working classes. NYC isn't interesting for this, but it will be interesting to see what happens when Zohran 2.0 is running somewhere that has a measurable amount of cross-party ballots.

Democrats will cream at that sort of cross-party performance cause their ideal is winning exactly 50%+1 of the vote in 50%+1 of the elections.

It's so funny that they haven't really offered a real alternative though, it's all still wrapped in "free market" evangelism.

No yeah I guess I'm saying there's plenty of room in the US for a socialist party with prominent bourgeois characteristics, but Democrats definitely can't be that even if it's so hosting obvious.

What are they going to do, simply not vote?
